  Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen showed her fourth haute couture collection called ‘Voltage’ at Paris’ fashion week. I’m not sure why Style.com doesn’t add Iris to to the their roster… I mean, yes, it’s avant guard, but isn’t that what haute couture is all about? Anywho, the dresses were all 3-D …

  Here are my favorite looks from Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring Haute Couture show. The fifth photo is awesome! It’s like an ‘elegant’ redo of the Madonna cone bra corset.   Only Gaultier can make boobs look like chic  traffic cones. The finale of his shows is usually a wedding …

  I love Chanel in general, but sometimes the collections can be geared towards the rich memaws  of the world, which can be frustrating for the young crowd. I think the key to make Chanel not matronly is to mix it up with punky things, like safety pins and funky …

  Here are my favorite picks from Alexis Mabille’s latest couture collection. He really knows how to bring the glamour on kinda like the other Alexis. My fave has to be the last look with the tulle. I love anything tulle because it reminds of ballerinas and also of all …

I’ve written about Amato Haute Couture before  – I love love love  their stuff! The butterflies do remind me of Alexander McQueen’s dress, but it’s still rad anyway.  The model is Raina Hein from America’s Next Top Model… I never really see the contestants on that show doing much after …

This is a super tiny collection by Serkan Curaird, which I’m guessing is a newcomer to the Paris Couture fashion scene. I’ve never heard of him (or her), remarkably, but I’m glad I have now. My fave is the fourth photo of what looks to be a cross between Toucan …

Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen unveiled her Paris Couture collection making it to be one of the most, if not the most,  avant guarde this season. I think that’s what haute couture is all about- pushing the boundaries to create very special ensembles that stand out through masterful workmanship and ingenuity. And …

Amy Wino really left an impression on Jean-Paul Gaultier because dude’s entire couture collection was dedicated and inspired by her, which I found strange. The beehives, the cat eyeliner, the crackie shakes-the 50s/60s silhouettes were all part of the tribute to Amy Winehouse. The only thing missing were the  ballet flats. …

And just like that, Christian Dior went back to being the matronly label you’d find at the Mature Women’s section of Syms. Seriously, if they can coax back John Galliano  to design again for Dior,with a bottle of  wine and a collection of sharpies to draw on his mustache,  then …

First off, I’m only posting this collection because of the awesome headpieces. I think they are so beautiful, especially when paired with an ensemble with completely the same color. I think the peachy number is my fave out of the bunch- the rest is ehhh to me. Second, to have …
