Elie Saab Fall 2010 Couture

I wanted to pull some of the best looks for you from the Elie Saab Fall 2010 Couture collection. The collection is full of dramatic draping, pleating and rouching. Diagonal lines flow through the asymmetrical garments with splashes of glitter and metallic fabric. Moreover, there is a lot of texture in the collection made with the rouching and pleating, but also with fabrics such as velvet and lace. There is some contradiction in the collection with high necklines and high slits on the skirts, but it adds for a dramtic effect. The colors used are very romantic. Intense reds and golds are mixed with soft blues, yellows and silvers.

Enjoy!

Christian Dior Fall 2010 Couture

I am in LOVE with the Fall 2010 Christian Dior couture collection! This collection is vibrant, colorful and full of texture! Flowers must have been the inspiration for designer John Galliano. All of the gowns take an organic silhouette and shape with light, airy fabric. The gowns have interesting necklines and layers of fabric that imitate flower petals. The juxtaposition of the colors is simply intriguing. The contract between the black and the bright fuchsias and yellows is eye catching. To top it all off, literally, many of the models are wearing lightly tinted plastic hats. So maybe this collection is nothing you would wear on the street, but they are all works of art!
