Things I Liked in the Fall 2010 Couture Shows

Dior's collection was absolutely gorgeous and really captured my imagination -- I do have a thing for les fleurs, after all. (Click on images to see on style.com slideshow)

And in contrast to Dior's joie de vivre and whimsy, we have what is really just an exquisite collection from Givenchy. I would love to see these gowns in person -- they are so detailed, and are at once utterly feminine and edgy. They have an ethereal, other-worldly feel to them, don't you think? Really, the entire ouevre begs a look.



And some critiqued Valentino's show, but there's a lot here that appeals to me. Sure, it's a bit simple, safe, and girly . . . but it's wearable. And feminine. And, well, pretty.

In short, I would happily accept any of these frocks should you wish to purchase one for me.
