Just Me/Final Couture Report

So, even though I wrote a whole entry, I never did give the fair chance to all bloggers on here to actually know who I am. (Well, one I've known for a while, but still.)

Call me whatever you wish. I am a 15 year old from a crappy town that is no where near anything, so it's not worth mentioning. I'm a bit of an eccentric, I guess. I like to wear stuff that is probably normal for the city (as in NYC), but not here. I'm slightly rocker chic with a mix of my own personality. And some inspiration from the twenties as well.

And I happen to be obsessed with music, movies, and anything British.

I would show a pic and say, "Hey! It's me," but really, I prefer film to digital. Therefore, no photos until I figure out how work this scanner.

So, couture was, well, interesting this year. (I know I already discussed Chanel and Dior below, but I really have nothing else to talk about.) Last season was definitely better, and I hope next season will make up for the disappointment that occured here.


Let's just say it: Chanel sucked. Personally, for Lagerfeld to take inspiration from Anna Wintour (oh dear Lord) just makes the collection worse. Oh, by the way, if you didn't know, I have an undying hate for Anna Wintour. I believe she doesn't even deserve her position at Vogue (read a biography, for Christ's sake), and I think she's just full of shit.


I think Lacroix was great. The detailing with the lace really set it off the charts. All the patterns together created a nicely dreadful (in a good way) feel. I wish I could afford a piece from him, but it would either be college or Lacroix. That's actually an extremely difficult choice.


And Valentino...ummm...well, I got to give Alessandra some slack as the new Valentino designer and this being her first Couture collection. But really, it could have been way better. The drapping was like sheets of stiff paper being folded and glued. And spray painted for a "fabric feel." And nothing, I repeat, NOTHING reminded me of the ingenious Valentino we once knew. She's just taking the house of Valentino and making it the house of Facchinetti, which is what no one wants. I know this sounds terrible, but her dresses reminded me of the piece Vincent made in Project Runway season 3 for the couture challenge. I don't know; it was very reminiscent.


Jean Paul Gaultier was okay. When I first viewed it, I thought it was last seasons collection because something about it reminded me of something he did a while ago. All the shapes, colors, etc....all seemed the same to me. There was no sparkle. But, I did think the hair and make-up was very cool. The fringe with the neon underlay was awesome, and the coinciding orange-red lip color made it even more excellent.

That's all from me. I've had a hell-ish day so far. I'm signing off...
