Couture crush.

Paris has been home to Couture week this week and it started off with Dior, which underwhelmed many.  The continued and grew bigger and more impressive than the last, but a true favourite of mine has to be the Elie Saab collection.  After his last couture collection being heavily embellished, it was decidedly different. It was softer, intensely feminine and just breathtaking.  In true A/W spirit, the dresses were glitzy, perfect for any party.  Here are just a few of my favourite pieces...

What do you think?  Emma Watson was spotted in an Elie Saab creation at the Harry Potter Premiere after party.  

How are you all?  It feels like an eternity since I've been able to blog.  

Greasers stole my heart.

I never really understood why the film 'Grease' was called 'Grease' until I sat in my fifties fashion lecture.  From that moment onwards, the fifties became most definitely, my favourite fashion decade.  Up until the 50s Fashion was all about Paris alone, but with the rise of teenage rebellion saw America being taken over by the subculture of 'greasers'.  If I was around during the 50s, i'd definitely have dated a greaser.  I was always born to be American.


As well as the subcultures, the 50s brought us the only decade that Christian Dior lived and worked in fashion.  Sadly he died but his legacy has lived on to this day and Paris owes him big time for that.


What's your favourite fashion decade and why?
