Spring 08 Haute Couture & Valentino Retires Options

[misoshiru]

so I do know that there are a few of you out there who follow the fashion world as closely as I do. And now that Spring Haute Couture week is over, what were some of your favorite pieces? Who did you find to be the best overall haute couture line? Worst? Fave themes? AND, goodbye to Valentino.


For me, Versace Haute Couture completely blew me away, seeing that I'm usually not a huge fan of Versace RTW. I loved every single Versace HC piece. Elie Saab was also absolutely gorgeous. I could see every one of those pieces on the red carpet.

Givenchy really disappointed me, and their makeup was atrocious. Armani Prive was boring as well, this and many of the other HC lines.

Christian Lacroix was magnificent, with the Spanish theme. And I loved the mermaid theme going on with many of the HC lines, but especially with Jean Paul Gaultier. (not a big fan of the wet hair look either.) Also, the detailing in makeup in the JPG show was just wow.

Overall, the worst show for me, would have to be the Eymeric Francois couture show. To sum it up, it would be Victoria's Secret couture for hookers.
