Where are the pics? I only hear reviews! Please post if you can find some! ;)

Hanae Mori's Wednesday show brought springtime in Tokyo to a winter collection when butterfly wing images were worked into the back of a black tuxedo or onto a cashmere kimono coat worn over a knitted dress. This light touch came also in the choice of color, with layers of cherry and raspberry red chiffon and deep purple even on shiny patent crocodile. A piping of fur decorating blue chiffon and tucks on the bias looked very haute couture. But a dragon motif jacket suggested that the designer's Asian heritage is embedded in her elegant Western clothes.

It really wasn't that great, imo. I don't know even know why it's classified as Haute Couture. :doh:
 
Hanae Mori does very classic haute couture (lots of day wear) for very classic Japenese women. It's more like very deluxe made-to-order RTW. She is famous for her prints ( butterflies) and for dressing the Empress and Princess of Japan who aren't really known for their innovatif style lol.
