Book: Dior Couture

How stunning is this photo, above? Just too beautiful. From the coffee table book, Dior Couture by Patrick Demarchelier, it makes me want to see more. Frustratingly, I think I have this book but am I able to find it right now, when I want it? No. Grrr. How annoying is that? For the same […]

And, I wasn’t disappointed though, with my hopes and expectations so high, it would be a lie to say I thought […]

Wow, I want those earrings – just so me … as is the entire eclecticism of these looks from Maison Martin Margiela Haute Couture collection F/W 2014. (Oh, oh, I like the yellow earrings in the bottom picture best but with the outfit above). Sigh, wish I was able to carry this off in a […]

Dior Haute Couture F/W 2014

Although I loved the extravagant creativity of John Galliano’s Dior collections, it is very hard not to admire equally the sublime simplicity and elegance that Raf Simons is now bringing to the label.
