The first look looks like something from Gucci's last spring collection. The lighting, everything.

It really looks like Gucci Spring 2012's Disco sl*t except she comes in black and white this time.

The first few looks are flat out sad...it gets much better as it goes on.

This reminds me of why Alber Elbaz is my favorite designer!

I agree, he can do no wrong for me.

If those first three looks didn't exist, I'd be sooooo happy. Everything, as usual, is flawless, as per usual.

Praise the Lord. Another great collection from Alber, perhaps even better than his recent ones given that he actually developed some new shapes, but didn't lose his sense of identity. So you have the usual draped pieces in a slightly squarer shape (which I did love) but also had some dresses in a rectangular shape(?). They seemed influenced by Margiela. The belts in the opening looks had an Eastern influence, keeping in trend with the Asian obsession of the season.

The one thing that didn't seem so hot, which I always count on him for was the jewelry. The belt on Mirte didn't look that different from the Tom Ford F/W 2012 one. However hopefully a browse through the detail shots on Style.com should change my mind! Overall one of my favourites of the season.

I think somebody posted an article about recession impact on FW collections ... Well, this one makes it pretty clear.
Albert just went for the classic, nothing outrageous ... Everything is very wearable for his clientele ...

And here's the true testament to Alber's talent - even when he's doing safe, wearable clothes, he can still dazzle with his embellishing, structuring, and draping and create one of the best collections of the season.

Now, isn't that amazing?

I'd never think a day would come for me to say this, but I'm just so damn tired of Lanvin. Putting aside we've been seeing this for seasons now, it doesn't have any lightness, nonchalance and just effortless feeling Alber's collections used to have.

Speaking of which, I would say I love the venue, but they had to build the high catwalk with this awful floor.

Consistency always pop up when I see his collection. It demonstrate how clear his vision is for the house of Lanvin. Like Karl and Chanel, I hope this is one marriage that will last till death parts them. Always ends with a high note and something new. Eat your words to those who are quick to judge!!

Alber, you deserve some macaroons now! Eat away!
