Wowiw Wow! Forty-four looks for Haute Couture! Someone’s fingers are bleeding from all the stitching done by hand! Even though she’s a relative newcomer to haute couture, Ulyana definitely knows a thing or two about couture. I love the structured bras- they look like bullet bras from the 1950’s… I …

s The House of Schiaparelli has been revived and I have to say it’s got the right amount of boring and touches of weird here and there for it to, probably, be successful. Honestly, the only look I approve of is the red frizzy fro and striped dress. I mean, …

Always amazing…. Always innovative. Iris Van Herpen is probably the single most clever designer of our time. Even though her name reminds me of herpes, she really has a knack for making the possible impossible in terms of making the most unwearable materials wearable. She must must must be …

How do you say gorgeous in French? Le Gorgeous? Nope! Jean Paul Gaultier!! I loved every piece (which is rare) of this collection. From the Cruella DeVil leopard pieces to the thick piped dresses in gold and nude, this was it! Those conical hats have a funnel quality …

You can always count on Alexis to bring out the most feminine glamour ever. He designs dresses that are meant for a cat fight in the lily pond with your arch nemesis. I love the lace, satin and poufs and puffs in this collection. It’s kinda like those Valentine’s pillows …

The House of Schiaparelli has been revived by Christian Lacroix (he’s focusing on theater costumes) this season and only this season, which I find fitting.

These aren’t costumes from Game of Thrones or some other medieval show. These aren’t workers from King Richard’s Faire, either. These are couture creations from Franck Sorbier. I have never heard of him, but he’s definitely on my radar because he made all his models do some sort of …
