PARIS FASHION WEEK : COUTURE FALL 2012

RIDICULOUSLY UNREAL... STUNNING!... Couture Creepy Crawler concoctions.
What can we say about her, ever since she started showing her talent, it's just PURE AMAZEMENT. She has her signature in every pieces. It's always a feeling of bewilderment, questioning where she ever gets those inspirations. No stone was left unturned... the shoes... the clutch... they all but pieces of puzzle that once completed... a masterpiece is created! 
She's the epitome of EVOLUTION!... I can't wait for the next chapter!

 


GEORGES HOBEIKA Couture Fall 2012:
I've always been confused with the two Lebanese GEORGES, CHAKRA and HOBEIKA... not only with their identities/names but who COPIES WHO (other designers that is)... luckily they DON'T COPY EACH OTHER! That would be dizzying than an "octopus" ride!
Immitate what SELLS!.... execution-wise , EXCELLENT!
ARMANI Prive Couture Fall 2012:
There's no denying, THE VEILS are the STARS of the show. But make no mistake, Giorgio proved that he's still the King of Masterful Tailoring. 80's revisited-looks were complemented with intricately embroidered/crystallized, short, less conservative soft TULLE veils as if signalling the approach of the Islamic Ramadan. The signature paired-models on the runway remains, so as the perfectly fitted "mourning" colored but vibrantly embellished evening gowns.
 



VALENTINO Couture FALL 2012 : RAVEN DARK is the NEW RED in the house... very BOLD INDIGOs, too!... TRANSPARENCY is the KEY... then make a TURN,,, and saved the BESTS for 'BACKS'!

Expect this 'signature' to pepper the red carpets ... PURE MASTERCLASS in high fashion! 



ELIE SAAB Couture Fall 2012 : 
Embroideries on laces OVERLOAD!... Waist Cinch is the leit-motif.... Distinctly the trademark Red Carpet Saab. FEMININITY at its BEST!


FRANCK SORBIER Haute Couture Fall 2012 : BALL GOWNS AS screens ,,, PRINTS via PROJECTOR!... CLEVER!



ZUHAIR MURAD AUTUMN Couture 2012 : 
"AGAIN" (my fave word... instead of COPY!)... shows how he "loves" ELIE SAAB and the THREE DIMENTIONAL flower appliques of VALENTINO!... FLORALS, Spring/Summer prints in Autumn... SWEET PROM dresses!


GIVENCHY COUTURE Fall 2012 :
It's been a while that their doing this front/back pix style!...... Photoshoot IDEAS,,, anyone explain???......... why not RUNWAY.... again?!........ walking mannequins on the runway looks good in Haute Couture as well, I hope they remember!... this is becoming a BORE. 

Nevertheless, the number of pieces are also kept at a reasonably "less number" (as compared to the rest), which makes us appreciate the intricacies of each ensemble's craftsmanship and individuality.

CHANEL Couture Fall 2012:
KARL LAGERFELD is BACK,,, BACKWARDS!!!

Kristen Dunst has been criticized time and time again for looking dowdy and matronly in red carpet events being so loyal to the brand.....
.... If its CHANEL, it looks like just the SAME "OLD" CHANEL!!!




GEORGES CHAKRA Couture FALL 2012: 
He did his "INTERPRETATIONS" of Stephane Rolland's PAST ideas in desperate attempt to be "different" but STILL turned out to be a 'DESPERATION'!... Now that they've been showing their collections side by side these great minds in fashion, would it be taking too much from them if  for "ethical" reasons they come up with something they can call THEIR OWN!



BASIL SODA COUTURE FALL 2012 : HAIRY/FRINGY/AIRY... Stephane Rolland-esque AGAIN!!! 
That's always expected of the Lebanese designers,,, that will come up with their versions, (sometimes NOT INTERPRETATIONS but COPIES) of their counterparts' creations in Paris or Milan...well EXECUTED nevertheless!
