Ulyana Sergeenko Couture Spring 2013 Paris

If the story book does not beat you over the head, this collection by designer Ulyana Sergeenko, from the 2013 Paris Couture Spring Fashion Week, was heavily inspired by the Mark Twain era of literature.  There is even a Tom Sawyer garment paired with a sling shot.  Many a Scarlet O'Hara and even some Little House on the Prairie strolls down the runway in this beautiful collection of period inspired garments.  Beautiful.

Valentino Paris Couture 2013

Valentino shows Couture Collection in Paris.  The collection of brocade and architectural pierces are beautiful.  The sheer brocade looks like iron work while the solid brocade looks like wedding cake.  The architectural details look effortless and the collection has iconic silhouettes.  Love.

 

Jean Paul Gaultier | Amy Winehouse Couture

Jean Paul Gaultier paid homage to Amy Winehouse with a couture show inspired by the late singer - with bee hives, cigarettes, and fake moles.  Too soon?  I don't know - it was actually - pretty fabulous.
