I don't suppose I'll ever be in the front row at a couture show. The little gold chair would most likely collapse under me.
But do look at this because the Valentino show earlier this evening was simply exquisite.
Sigh.
Very pretty! I'm so glad I caught this after my healthy breakfast of oatmeal. Watching a fashion show after a whopping great dinner never fails to cause some regret.
p.s. - caught up on some of your posts, Mary. The Meals on Wheels plan sounds excellent!
I would never have gone searching for that sort of clip...I have always loved fashion but because I am so short, I have only a few styles I can pull off. So,thank you...the fluidity, the grace and elegance of this collection...I was transported. And I realised that so many of the silhouettes were so simple that even I could actually wear some of the items (minus the price tag and if they were hemmed up about a foot or so!) Often designers move into creating art for themselves rather than something truly wearable and classic. This collection was classic and magnificent...a feast for the eye. I hope that the purveyors of affordable fashion are busy sketching these silhouettes...as I would love to see similar dresses everywhere a year from now.
Wow - so pleased a great friend and I are going to the Valentino exhibition, about the closest I'll get to a couture show.
ReplyDeleteI must try to catch that before it closes. Meant to go to Cartier-Bresson, too, and it's closing very soon.
ReplyDeleteBut aren't those dresses fabulous?

Yes, Darlene, that haughty look is so much easier to achieve with cheekbones!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful Mary! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSad...Wellies and Mac are the only outfit 'de rigueur' on this island...
Beautiful!
