All in all, I like it. The embroideries-especially in red- and use of gold are so exquisite and gorgeous. The white jacket with gold detailing that Magdalena is wearing and Karlie's pearl and crystal encrusted cream jumper are both simply to die for. And the metallic neck and face-piece is beyond stunning- so exotic and glamorous. On the other hand, though, the white and pink floral gowns are not my favorite- I find them a bit tacky and incohesive with the rest of the collection. And they are definitely not-Fall.
The couture collections this season, so far, have been lovely, but a bit anti-climactic. I liked, for the most part, what I saw at Dior, but everything seemed a bit disheveled and mismatched, most likely intentionally. The hats, for me, stood out more than the clothes. And at Prive, Armani stuck to the usual formula, this time not striking as much as a high note as in his last couple of collections. There were too many repetitive skirt and pant-suits and not enough stunning eveningwear. I can't wait to see what Gaultier has to show us!
