That valentino dress is incredible...

His entire '06 HC Collection was amazing

That first Ellie Saab dress (blue) is horrific! Get rid of the pink glittery side armor and that gown would be gorgeous....

^ I remember when that Nina Ricci was shot for Vogue last year, I think by Irving Penn, with sooty eye makeup and a matching veil....it was a stunning cloud of smoke.

It still is.

^you're both right. it's like one of the very first pieces Olivier did for Nina Ricci, along with those he did for Reese Witherspoon

I've always loved these, but when I recently got the 60th Anniversary book, Dior, they have great shots of these two dresses and you can see the details so beautifully, and I just stare at them all day! I just leave the book open to that page! I'd scan it if I could, but I'm afraid the book would break my scanner!...it's that heavy!

Dior Haute Couture FW 05 (the one on Ekaterina is called the Dolly dress, and the one on Raquel is called the Nancy dress) I think the black lace over the nude is so dynamite, and I love the padded hips SO much! And the passimenterie and embroidery details on both dresses are so stunning!

I haven't had many agree with me on this, but I think this gown is pretty much the definition of glamour:

^ Well, add me to your list of people who agree, because I like that dress too. I think red is such a bold statement, and bold could be interpreted as 'glamorous' in certain cases, so I see what you're saying.

that Olivier Theyskens one is sooo beautiful!
i think that would also be my pick!

i think i saw the one on ekaterina in that "fashion show" exposition from Galliera Museum that was brought to barcelona last summer!! absolutly amazing!!
what was even greater is that they had the dress from the couture show, next to a same-style one from the rtw show, and then another one that would be the "boutique" version so that you could see the differences on how an idea from couture is translated to rtw an then to what consumers will buy! just gorgeous!!
