definitely Dior and Gaultier….
i am a male and i would totally drag wearing the 6th look from the Gaultier collection as shown here…AWESOME….

Valentino….no romanticism here…wheres the timeless femininity ?

the spirit of couture should never cease tho the economy is unstable…couture is pure artisan in clothing….and its ultimate luxury…
and couture is the core collection that inspire the whole RTW, accs collection….

I totally agree with your synopsis of the week! Dior and Galliano stole the show for me with their just plain fabulousness. Looking at these photos I feel a big twinge of sadness for Lacroix, it’s very sad to see such talent leave.

Good riddance to Lacroix? Wow, harsh words to a man who’s name is almost synonymous with couture. True, this collection from Lacroix is not spectacular, and is far from what he really is capable of. But the collection and show itself was a testament to how respected and well loved this man is by his employees and peers, many of whom supported this collection by working for next to nothing. This collection would never have been possible if this man hadn’t accumulated some seriously good fashion-karma.

I wasn’t really crazy about the Gaultier show. Some beautiful silouhettes, but I’m missing a little more cohesion.
The Givenchy show was ridiculously spectacular. If anyone hasen’t seen it, do it NOW!

My favourite was Dior. In this financial climate we need a bit of fun, but yearn for nostaligia. Galliano succeeded in litteraly stripping away some of the crazyness of couture, but still achieving the impeccable glamour of Dior. A great collection that consolidates the brand identity of Dior.

as for valentino what went wrong so not!!!!!!! valentino i mean no romance and no true valentino inner sense i just cant see it . and chanel is finally comming in to the XXI century and inovating more not divorcing itself from coco but morphing in to a newer bolder more challenging chanel its more true chanel less camelia and pearl chanel that is not to dispute the core values but i mean its like i saw chanel again in its spirit and true sense of unique self style i love its fantastic

dior is fantastic but i think this time im just not feeling lacroix but i have to say he is trying i mean he is not just brining the archive back he is a strong believer of the new and the bold but in terms of what is usefull i have to go with the splendid dior show. it has a sense of magic i have not seen in some time , as for gaultier perfect perfect its all i can say exotic thrilling just so gaultier and so intense in the sense of work and genius behind it!!!

Love this post! I totally agree with your comments on Chanel. While everything, as usual, is beautiful…it just bores me for haute couture week. I sure hope investors find Lacroix, he’s always been one of my favorites. Would be so sad if it’s truly the end. I get so eager to see what masterpiece he makes next. This year, that wedding dress, ah! Dior’s show definitely epitomized couture week. & as for Gaultier…freaking genius. Period.

The Lacroix are my favourites here and there is so much beautiful clothing. I hope he makes it. Some of those Dior looks seem like a nightmare sequence in which a critical item of clothing is forgotten.

I’ve gone back to look through Gaultier’s show several times since I wrote this, and I’m still absolutely floored every.single.time. It’s one of the most fantastic things I’ve ever seen – simultaneously current and retro, with just enough references to keep all the different looks cohesive. The second to last look of his that I featured – the liquid metallic mini dress – if I had it, I would wear it everywhere. I would sleep in it, wear it to the grocery store, whatever. It’s personally my favorite single garment of couture week, even though it’s not the most outrageous or complicated.
