Day: February 1, 2018

Social platforms have changed the way we live and communicate forever.  Now everyone can be part, albeit virtually, of what things look like backstage.  I relish on these behind the scene access whilst getting a sense of the anticipation, excitement and rush, amid all the beautiful fashion that commonly leads to every important event.  I also love how the images conjure a more artistic tone.

Below, Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring 2018 Show where black and white were the main two colors of the collection.  The collection was simply breath taking.  I prefer when the Haute Couture Runways take a more pragmatic approach to the way of dressing as opposed to an over the top one that is far from reality.  Christian Dior new creative director is Maria Grazia Chiuri, the house’s first woman Creative Director.

Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Spring 2018 was spectacular.  Known for his glamorous party dresses that channel modern princesses, Valli presented a collection beautifully feminine and chic.

Last but not least Givenchy with its new Creative Director, Clare Waight Keller at the helm.   Keller took inspiration from the structure and graphism that characterized Huber de Givenchy and interpreted them in a modern way by adding tight jackets and structural blazers over night shimmery gowns.
