Spring 2011 Haute Couture

Love love LOVE Couture Fashion Week. If you need some fashion inspiration then CFW is the place to go to get it. The standout show was easily Elie Saab. What this man can do to a dress is quite simply put ah-mazing. I have no doubt in my mind you'll see a few of his couture pieces popping up on the Oscars red carpet in a couple of months. Alexis Mabille went, again, for a pretty neutral palette with splashes of black and deep colours. I loved her skirts with billowing trains. So pretty! Valentino weren't as outstanding as expected. The new team behind the label, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, showed an ultra feminie collection, although as far as couture goes it didn't scream 'look at me'. The flat neutral used paled in comparison to Elie Saab. For all the looks from this years shows visit www.vogue.com.au. I'll wrap the shows up on Monday so stay tuned!
