Haute Couture Fall / Winter 2012-2013

Haute Couture week is wrapping up in the City of Lights this week and my week's highlight was to check out these shows every morning. Couture is a beautiful and glamorous playground for designers and the very limited number of women who can really afford them (around 4000 women in the world)..for the rest of us it is just a fantasy and a visual extravaganza but it is always very inspiring and affirming of our passion for fashion. 

Let the day dreaming begin with my favorite looks from the collections!


Raf Simons did not disappoint on his first collection for Dior- cigarette pants are the new skirts!Love this look!

Whiteout - Spring'12 RTW

Fall made its way here with rain, colder weather and shorter days and I don’t think that many of us are in the mood for some white! I should correct it specifically to “white clothes”, because I was in the mood for a lot of white while decorating my new house recently. (Perhaps that is another topic but I’d love to write about my experience and share some pictures on another post).

Spring’12 RTW, white, ohh yess!  I was going to mention this palette cleanser, which symbolizes purity, minimalism, elegance, lightness and simplicity had been used by many designers in their spring 12 collections. It was one of the trends of spring’12 as always, (if you won’t wear white in warmer seasons when will you) but personally I enjoy using this neutral color more and more. Also this spring season silhouettes being very ladylike, gentle and sweet, the white color complements the purpose perfectly.

I picked my favorite whites and pearly pales. And if you are curious of other big trends of spring’12, they are; ruffles, florals & futuristic prints, acid brights, sporty-chic looks, suits, peplums, high shine metallics, lots of embellishments, fringes and mesh.
Enjoy!
