Pretty Details






Here is the vision that the late Alexander McQueen couldn't have penned better if he tried. His predecessor has captured the feathered details and collars that are synonymous with his past designs to keep the McQueen dream in motion. May his memory never cease to exist.
Chanel is famous for boucle suits and all things black, white, musk pink and chains. It was all crammed into this beautiful collection, and much, much more. Given the fabulous faces that haven't graced the catwalk in quite some time were present, the proof was in the pudding that having a great personality behind a garment can bring it entirely to life.
Collette Dinnigan finally showed in her typical French fashion again, and stripping back all the trimmings, the show looked to have revisited her collections of seasons around 2005-2006. She didn't come up with anything new, and there wasn't much to choose from colour wise either. Here;s hoping her bridal collection will carry her through this rather season.
Valentino's collection is fit for a queen, Princess Mary would look amazing in all of these pieces after the twins are born of course. The chiffon was intricately detailed but given the flats that the outfits were styled with, the collection spoke quietly of pure elegance and grace.
Surprisingly detail free was Elie Saab's range. His pieces were pared right back to basics, and the focus appeared to be on colour rather than the application of surface design. This stunningly beaded gown couldn't go without mention though, and one of my favourite models from the past, Karolina Kurkova. She's back.
Sitting pretty.
