Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Spring 2012

oh I love him!!

Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Spring 2012

The collection paid homage to the life, style and smoking habits of

late singer Amy Winehouse.

From Amy's signature beehive hairdo and heavily winged eyeliner

to her eclectic and eccentric mix of floaty silhouettes clinched with rock n roll belts,

  strapped in bustiers to torpedo bras,

there was a hard edged femininity that was offset by Gaultier style androgyny

and buckets full of attitude.

In the finale the models swept past in long, draping black veils,

a bittersweet tribute to a show and a life filled with fun.

Armani Prive Haute Couture Spring 2012

Hourglass silhouettes, accented shoulders, 

and shimmering almost liquid metallic golds 

and greens that were both fresh and new, 

while eternally sexy and elegant

at Armani Prive Haute Couture Spring 2012.

I didn't quite get the messy hair and the gadget

fixed to the girls' heads

but the makeup was beautiful.

Air Chanel - Haute Couture Spring 2012 Paris Fashion Week

How fun is this??

Karl Largerfeld staged an elaborate show 

at Paris Fashion Week today, 

for Chanel Haute Couture Spring 2012, 

inside a specially built "Air Chanel" plane. 

The plane took 5 days to build, 

deep in the bowels of the Grand Palais.

Blue was the key shade in varying hues,

light, short sleeved tweed dresses just above the knee,

rouleau necklines and block colors.

Paris Fashion Week Spring 2012 Versace Haute Couture

Donatella Versace opened Paris Fashion Week Spring 2012 Haute Couture

with Versace's first couture show since 2004.

Karlie...

The line was classic Versace - body hugging silhouettes, bustier cuts, impossible detailing, color, sex, glamour. Heels so high it looked like the girls could fall, sleek ponytails even higher, and exquisite, dramatic eyes courtesy of makeup genius Pat McGrath. Although there were only 15 dresses

they were spectacular, fresh, new, 

and apparently over $100 000 each.

Hopefully at least one of these will show up on the Oscar's red carpet in February.

Check out the video of the show

Karlie Kloss for Oscar de la Renta Spring 2012

Here she comes again!

19 year old Karlie Kloss scored her third 

huge campaign for the season. 

First Dior Beauty, then Elie Saab, and now the

Oscar de la Renta Spring 2012 campaign,

shot by Craig McDean.

Whether in white lace, blue feathers or a scarlet ballgown,

Kloss is fierce.

Giant drop earrings and a sleek and shiny center parted bun offset

defined brows and cheekbones sharp enough to slice bread with.

Perfect.

With stunning wardrobe styled by Alex White

the campaign also gives us a sneak peak at the new

Oscar de la Renta eyewear collaboration with Linda Farrow.

Check out the over sized blue mother of pearl oval frames -

an uber chic look for spring.

The accessories are statement pieces in pastel.

A pink crocodile belt, a slim yellow clutch

and multi buckled peep toe wedges to die for in baby blue and lime green.

Love.
