Georges Hobeika Autumn/Winter 2011-12 Couture

A personal favourite at Paris' couture showcase this year is Georges Hobeika's whimsical collection. I love the corset bodices, cascading skirts and gorgeous details. These dresses are so beautiful that they'll probably bring me to tears if I ever find myself in one of them.

Valentino Autumn/Winter 2011-12 Couture

The combination of delicate embroidery and sheer fabrics in this collection brought out the fragile beauty of the models. They looked graceful in the slim silhouettes, reminiscent of ballerinas belonging to a Russian ballet troupe as they glided slowly down the runway. Chiuri and Piccioli do all of this while staying true to the Valentino vision of femininity, incorporating the famous Valentino Red, lace and ribbons into this refreshingly light and luminous showcase of pure craftsmanship.

Clearly, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli are on a roll.

"Clothing that took direction from Native American blankets – we also researched early American textiles and construction and included elements of both in our designs, but with a modern edge." - Designer McCollough on his collection.



































"In my opinion, the most outstanding collection of all that was showcased at New York Fashion Week."

"Reminds me of a farm-girl on the prairies, with floor-grazing sundresses in flaxen, muted gold and sky blue."
