Giorgio Armani Collection 2009

 

Giorgio Armani Show Fall Winter 2008-2009

 

Giorgio Armani, always free spirited returns to an ethnic theme fusing cultures effortlessly in an eclectic but thoroughly contemporary mix, with its relaxed attitude, demanding flat shoes quilted and embroidered in precious satin. Proportions lengthen as skirts flow around the figure.

 

Playing with the dimensions of trousers, sometimes narrow and sometimes wide. The contrasts continue with an Afghan coat over a svelte city jacket.

 

Resplendent eveningwear comes in spectacular patterns, all accentuated with appealing baubles, crescent moons, braid diamonds and black jet medallions that trim bags, rope necklaces and chokers.

Christian Dior by John Galliano Collection 2009

 

Christian Dior by John Galliano Show Fall Winter 2008-2009

 

This was such an amazing Christian Dior show,  John Galliano seems to be on a winning streak with the Haute Couture Collections. In a way, it was a classic combining the indelible fifties inspiration of Lisa Fonssagrives, Dior mannequin and wife of Irving Penn, and that of the new model of French conservative chic, Carla Bruni Sarkozy. Those two streams of thought merged into a collection John Galliano called “fresh couture restrained and refined”. The fact that the first lady of France has chosen to dress at Dior gave Galliano full rein to revel in the realms of glamour.

 

This was Christian Dior very much under control and within the scope of reality.

Yves Saint Laurent is one of the greatest fashion names of the late 20th century. Throughout the years, the groundbreaking designs of the Couture house created innovative pieces of clothing.

 

Today Yves Saint Laurent’s collections include women’s and men’s ready-to-wear, shoes, handbags, small leather goods, jewellery, scarves, ties and eyewear. They are designed for both modern women who have a keen sense of freedom and follow their instincts with assurance, captivating others with their elegance, as well as men who prefer a nonconformist look and assert the different facets of their personality in a modern and sensitive way.

The energy of this collection, the way it hit home was classic without remotely departing what we know and love about YSL.
