^^I always like Chanel Haute Couture better than Chanel RTW, and I have a few favorite Chanel Haute Couture shows, however, I agree with you that I'd like to see Karl take Chanel into a more...I don't even think I myself know where I want him to take it...I just want him to do something different. Granted, I don't want him to erase everything that is Karl or Chanel, but I am ready for something more than, as you aptly called it, a "cute and innocent girl ideology."
I just can't wait for Dior...this one ALWAYS gets me so anxious! Just thinking about what John will do next makes my head spin! I am so excited! All I can do is cross my fingers that the collection will be shown on a mirrored runway and that Healy will do an awesome soundtrack!

I can't wait for Gaultier. To be honest, Gaultier never really was one of my favorites, even now, looking back on some of his older collections, they just simply aren't my favorite. However, since RTW SS 06, I just can't get enough of Gaultier! I especially love Haute Couture SS 07 and FW 07!
I am super excited for Givenchy. Riccardo is a couture master. He, like Lacroix, simply excels creatively in Haute Couture, far more than they do in RTW. Couture just suits them better!
And of course, can't wait for Lacroix. I'm never as excited for Lacroix as I am for, say, Dior...but when I finally see the Lacroix collection, I can often end up loving it more than the Dior!
