Runway Report: Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week--Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2012--Pics + Runway Video!



Flower and Ruffle Power!






Alta Moda Ruffles: Designer Giambattista Valli (center) with two of his Roman Alta Moda-inspired designs, Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2012



Continuing with Paris Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2012 Fashion Week, designer Giambattista Valli showed his collection. Battista, known for his volants and prints, didn't disappoint on both counts. Ruffles exploded with grand exuberance in dresses, coats, gowns--you name it, they were there. The collection--based on fairies, nymphs, and a whimsical garden of COUTURE, featured flower prints in every variation that it almost made me forget that this was a FALL/WINTER Collection--as opposed to Spring/Summer.This seems to be a trend for this season!






 Peplum Couture: Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2012



You want PEPLUM? Huuuuney, Giambattista SERVED you PEPLUM--folded in what seemed like TEN layers(see far left and second-to-the-right photos above). Lord knows how those petite main COUTURE seamstresses fit all those layers into waist seams but they did it without a semblance of bulk (a masterful achievement indeed, trust me!). Many a cocktail dress and gown to satisfy all the multimillionaire ladies who order and buy these $100,000+ pieces, as well as those Cannes-and-Hollywood actresses who will borrow these dresses for a red carpet appearance worthy of all those flower prints and over-the-top ruffles.






Flower Power: Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2012






50's Eleganza: Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2012



In my opinion, so far, this is one of my favorite collections of Paris Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2012 Fashion Week. Every piece was more incredible than the other. Each was a clear representation of what Haute Couture is and reminded me of those 1950's and 1960's heydays of Roman Alta Moda, which obviously influenced the designer a lot. I was literally SHAKING as I viewed every photo. I love it when fashion does that to me. Grazie mille Giambattista.






Pouf: Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2012



Flora and Fauna Details: Check out those netting masks covering the delicately beautiful model's faces--some highlighted with butterflies. The oversized lady bug arm cuffs and twig-like belts--all in gold were OUT of CONTROL! From head to toe, these were Grand Couture Nymph Fairies waiting for a fabulous party to attend!

Accessory-trends 2016: Brooches Are Back

The brooch is back. Prada and Balenciaga were among the major brands that signaled its return on their fall runways while others, like Chanel and Marni, have always had a soft spot for the decorative accessory.  If you’ve never been a fan, give it a try this season, you might be surprised by the effect a small accessory can make. 

One of the ways of wearing a brooch this year was  just pin it onto the shirt, It’s fast, easy and comfortable. Your special accessory will always be visible at your first hello and you will never accidentally lose it (just look down now and then to check if it’s still there). This is also one of the most feminine and classic ways of handling a brooch. There is nothing edgy about it, but the tradition still inspires.

Instead of simply pinning it onto the shirt, try it up to the collar. This style fits perfectly into the office of the 21st century. Pick the right shirt with a suiting collar; remember that shirts are all different.

The classics are never outdated.  Brooches on the blazer lapels, whether your accessory has a special meaning or it’s just a fashion statement, this way of pinning your brooch will never get old. 
Make sure the fabric can hold the weight of a big brooch.
You know your neckline is in the centre of the attention.  So, what if we add another delicate detail to it! I adore brooches on V-necks (although other necklines will also work).
If your dress has a special detail on the waistline, go ahead and pin the brooch around it. Belts both on blouses and dresses work very well too! The brooch steals the attention from other body parts and concentrates the main target on the waistline. If you pick the right shape, you can even accentuate curves, where they need to be in the spotlight.
One of the most common uses is pinning brooches on scarves. This method has always been used by both older and younger generations. Add a reliable brooch and you will not only walk safely, but will also look like you just stepped down the global catwalk.
Brooches can also go on the hat! The movement of your head will always make the accessory shine, catching the rays of the light.

Fashion for Women

Fashion for Women

1950s' actualization for women is apparent by advocate changes in the designs of, and abstracts acclimated in, crafting actualization wares, viz. clothing, footwear, accessories, etc. Actualization of the 1950s, for women, is embodied by the acceptance of Nylon as a actualization fabric, petticoats, stilettos, fuller and best skirts and an elegant, airy delineation of persona in commercial and media. Let us yield a airing down the retro-lane and yield a attending at the actualization details, account by item, that accomplish the 1950s angle out noticeably in the chronicles of apple fashion.

Clothes

1950s' accouterment for women is alike with feminine animal elegance! The clothes of this aeon focused on imparting the alarm contour to the wearer by replacing the short-skirt wide-shoulder contour with longer, fuller skirts which put accent on the waist and bendable accept lines. End of the Apple Wars saw the abeyance of restrictions on textiles, which translated into the use of a array of bolt and lower hemlines for women's clothing! While earlier women autonomous for the subtler Pencil Skirts, adolescent women about boastful their accepted Poodle Skirts with baroque elan! Utmost accent was accustomed to acting and searching "every inch the lady", appropriately categorical admonishment and a able-bodied tailored attending were awful prized. Pleated skirts were aswell actual popular, which gave a addition to this much-coveted neat, elegant, tailored look. The hemlines usually concluded just at the knee or a little beneath it.

A lot of array was aswell apparent in women's shirts and blouses, abnormally in the neckline, sleeves and cut. Shawl collars, annular collars, check necklines and bendable abbreviate collars were actual accepted as they ashen and flattered the shoulders. Blouses with abbreviate sleeves, breath sleeves, bathrobe sleeves and formed sleeves hit the acme of actualization in the 1950s. Bendable draping cuts and monogramming were actual acclaimed actualization accouterment aspects of the '50's artist accouterment period.

Pants and shorts were about aloof for actual accidental occasions like a barbecue or a picnic. The 1950s' actualization was added about academic breeding and beneath about accidental sportiness. However, admitting beneath popular, pants, shorts and jeans (then, Dungarees) were accustomed added beautiful identities in the 1950s than their precursors. Culottes, Capri pants and pleated shorts were adequate actualization clothing, as were the cone-shaped pants and all-embracing suits.

Evening and brawl dresses were crafted to accompany out the angel in every woman, but with subtler tones and softer outlines. The accumulation assembly of clothing, as a aftereffect of Apple War II efforts, meant that accustomed women could, now opt for artist black dresses and dress patterns for the aboriginal time. The black dresses were abundantly advised to accentuate the apprehension and the waist of the woman and accumulate the focus off the achievement and the derrière, by the way they cone-shaped down beyond the waist and again fanned out abundantly appear the hemline. Harem draping and airship skirts admiring ample absorption during this times as new age cuts which differed from acceptable feminine silhouettes but batten of alluring breeding at the aforementioned time. Classic brawl clothes designs, fueled by fantasy and celluloid fashion, accept been there throughout the 1900's actualization era and were actual abundant about in the 1950s' actualization scene, as were the European actualization A-line brawl gowns.

Accessories

A adult sans gloves was not advised a adult at all in the 1950s. Gloves of all sizes - abbreviate wrist breadth ones, average bend breadth ones and the continued beyond-elbow ones - were beat by the women in the '50's and a woman usually had several pairs of them! Another important accent was the bandage - and it was not just acclimated to awning the head! One would be afraid by the altered means of cutting scarves that were affected during the 1950s. Using scarves as belts, wrapping them as check acme (oh yes, I can see those eyes bustling out!), as headbands or to tie ponytails were advised hot actualization statements and were actual accepted during the actualization anarchy of the 1950s! Girdles were, added than often, inseparable assembly to women's dresses, besides shawls and stoles. Mink stoles (...gasp!) were a part of the a lot of coveted accessories and actualization styles for women to brace with their black dresses in the 1950s.

Shoes

The stiletto heel may compression the bottom of the adult cutting them but, if beat on a brace of able-bodied maintained anxiety and accompanied by a alluring gait, can bore the affection of abounding a admirer account his banquet suit! Cutting top heels accept been fashionable for women in, added or less, all centuries, back top heels were invented. This chiropractor's dream is a actualization accoutrement of the 1950s. Admitting originally advised by the backward Kristin S. Wagner, stilettos accustomed their abundant adapted acceptance and feminine advocacy in the backward 1950s. Block heels and flats aswell came about to be beat for accustomed activities, like arcade or school, and were about commutual with slacks. Ballet slippers aswell fabricated an actualization during this time and were usually beat forth with little white socks (yes, I'm serious!!) Aswell accepted about that time were saddle shoes.

Hairstyles and Makeup

Pins, curlers and hair sprays - these were the triplets which ranked top in the hair admonishment kit of any actualization acquainted adult of the 1950s! Be it huge, artificial curls or soft, bouncing after-effects or perms, coiled hairstyles were the assurance of a able-bodied maintained woman. Straight or "untouched" hair adumbrated that you are too apathetic to attending afterwards yourself, not a adult in any right! The fifties witnessed a "poodle fixation" which was reflected in haute couture as able-bodied as hairstyles. Check out Lucille Ball's hair to get a adhere of what I mean! 1950s' hairstyles were in accompany with the accouterment of that time and reflected femininity, affair and elegance.

ICE STYLE.....ISU World Figure Skating Championships 2016: Figure Skating Costumes Recap PAIRS and ICE DANCE!




Pairs and Ice Dance Costume Fab: Costume Highlights from the 2016 ISU World Figure Skating Championships, Boston Massachusetts





In my last post HERE, I discussed my Figure Skating Costumes Highlights (and some not-so-cute!) of the LADIES and MEN from last week's 2016 ISU World Figure Skating Championships, which were held at the TD Garden in Boston Massachusetts...







Well, now it is time for my Costume Recap of the PAIRS and ICE DANCE!!!


Let's begin with the...



Pairs-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------







Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford of Canada: For their Short Program to Your Song by Elton John, performed by Ewan McGregor, I liked these costumes. Meagan shined with her silver sequined and red costume! It was breathtaking in terms of it's fab crystal work. Eric went for a red dress shirt with matching t-shirt underneath and black pants. I wish his look had more crystals than those buttons but oh well, I was OK with it! 









Free Skate to Hometown Glory by Adele: LOVE, Love, Love these costumes on Duhamel and Radford. The bold royal blue color, her halter jeweled sequin neckline, the gathered drape in her halter neckline...it's all sleek, chic and super! Oh, and how much do we LOVE Meagan's cheek-to-cheek smile in that photo above! Hashtag At-a-Girl #AtAGirl #GoCanada





Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov of Russia Short Program to Nagada Sang Dhol (Bollywood Selection) by Siddharth-Garima: I am a big fan of the costumes worn by Russia's Pairs Diva and Divo Volosozhar and Trankov for their "Bollywood"-inspired Short Program. Both their looks and designs are pretty much flawless. 





Free Skate to Bram Stoker's Dracula (soundtrack): For their Free Skate to "Dracula", they wore these semi-Period-like costumes in red and black. I like his faux leather pants and red velvet vest with gold trim. Her dress was elegant and a bit subdued. I appreciated the gold trim simulating a corset but maybe there should have been a sweetheart neckline somewhere in there.







Aliona Savchenko and Bruno Massot of Germany Free Skate to Sometimes by Wax Tailor: I have a theory. I think Aliona and Bruno are well...an item. It sure looks like it when they skate. Well, now that we have that out of the way, let's discuss their costumes. We know Aliona never met a Jumpsuit she did not like. Her "Pink Panther" look is iconic. This red'ish ombre look featured a heart-shaped back and sequins. His look of a mock-neck ombre top and black pants perfectly complimented hers. Overall, a very striking couple.







Nicole Della Monica and Matteo Guarise of Italy Short Program to Magnificat by Mina: Elegant and beautiful; two words to describe these costumes worn by the Italian Pairs couple of Della Monica and Guarise. I loved her gold applique, nude illusion and white costume but I also liked his semi-matching very sexy top. 







Free Skate to Cosmic Journey ("Romeo and Juliet" by Abel Korzeniowski): These costumes were basically a different color-way of what they wore for their Short program with a slight design variation. I still liked them!







Vanessa James and Morgan Cipres of France: The photos above feature their costumes for their Short Program of I Put A Spell On You by Joss Stone (top photo) and Free Skate to Romeo and Juliet (soundtrack) by Craig Armstrong, Romeo and Juliet (soundtrack) by Abel Korzeniowski, and Oh Verona (Romeo and Juliet soundtrack) by Craig Armstrong. There were elements of both which I liked. I did love the wrapped belts of the Free Skate costumes but I have to admit that I LOVE Vanessa's 80's shoulder padded black and silver sequined jumpsuit costume for her Short Program.







Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov of Russia: Russia's Stolbova and Klimov wore these costumes above for their Short program to I Put a Spell on You performed by Annie Lennox and Free Skate to Man and Shadow (The Unknown Known soundtrack) by Danny Elfman. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the latter--from the Free Skate. And especially hers; the gray/blue gathered chiffon and strap cross-tied detail was chic and very Modern Dance fab!







Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov of Russia Free Skate to Nocturne, Prelude, and Revolutionary Etude by Frederic Chopin: I had to finish my Pairs Costumes Recap with these very nice costumes by the Russian Pairs of Tarasova and Morozov. I thought her costume was exquisite and very well done and I loved his tuxedo look and especially the music symbol detail brooch. 



Ice Dance-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje of Canada Short Dance to Waltz: The Blue Danube by Johann Strauss; Polka: Annenpolka by Johann Strauss; Waltz: The Blue Danube by Johann Strauss: I think these are probably one of my Top Favorite Ice Dance costumes of this 2015-2016 Season. I think Kaitlyn's blush and pearl sequined look is Couture Fab and Andrew looks like a Disney prince...and in a good way! Both of their costumes are elegant, haute and so gorgeous.





Free Dance to On the Nature of Daylight by Max Richter, This Bitter Earth by Dinah Washington, Run by Ludovico Einaudi: These costumes are not as great as their Short Program looks (in my eyes) but I do appreciate the ombre lilac shading and draped stylings. I have to say that in these costumes, my top pick was his and the draped top he wears. 







Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron of France Free Skate to Rain In Your Black Eyes by Ezio Bosso Build a Home by Cinematic Orchestra: I LOVE these costumes and this Ice Dance couple. The navy blue, red and black costumes are elegant, super-chic and Paris Fashion Week Runway Fab in terms of their design. Oh and did I mention how AMAZING they are in terms of their Ice Dance skate and presentation. J'Adore! 











Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue of the US Free Dance to Adagio for Strings by Daft Punk: USA's Hubbell and Donohue wore these costumes for their Free Skate to "Adagio for Strings" by Daft Punk. This was a change of costume in terms of what they had worn before. I have to admit that I loved the previous costumes more, but she still looked gorgeous and overall I love the presentation of this team.








Costume Better--Hubbell and Donohue of Canada









Maia Shibutani and Alex Shibutani of the USA: The Shibutani brother and sister Ice Dance team wore these costumes above for their Short Dance to Waltz: Coppelia, March: Coppelia, Waltz: Coppelia--all by Leo Delibes (top photo) and Free Dance to Fix You by Coldplay (lower photo). If I had to pick a favorite, I would say the latter. Only for its simplistic modern costume approach and design; there wasn't much there in term of creativity but it was right for the program.











Madison Chock and Evan Bates of the USA: Chock and Bates skated their Short Dance to Foxtrot: More by Andrea Bocelli; Waltz: Unchained Melody by Il Divo and Free Skate to Concerto No. 2 Adagio and Concerto No. 2 Allegro by Sergei Rachmaninov. I loved the second Free Dance costumes better than the Short Dance looks. I liked her "one shoulder" design and I especially loved his gathered/draped top; it was GORGEOUS!








Alexandra Stepanova and Ivan Bukin of Russia Free Dance to Rachmaninov's Revenge by Freddie Mercury, Montserrat Caballe: I loved these costumes worn by Russia's Stepanova and Bukin. They were modern, sleek and so sexy.








Anna Cappellini and Luca Lanotte of Italy: Cappellini
and Lanotte of Italy skated in these costumes for their Short Dance to Waltz: The Merry Widow by Franz Lehar Polka: The Merry Widow by Franz Lehar and Free Dance
to La Dolce Vita: Amarcord, Le Notti di Cabiria and Oto e
Mezzo by Nino Rota
. Both looks were
quite exquisite. But I especially liked their Free Dance costumes and
particularly her black sequined dress.













Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier of Canada: Canadian Ice Dance couple Gilles and Poirier are one of my favorite Ice Dance teams in terms of costumes. They did not disappoint this season and at the 2016 Worlds. This above is what they wore for their Short Dance (top photo) to Waltz: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by John Lennon, Paul McCartney; March: Norwegian Wood by John Lennon, Paul McCartney; Waltz: Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da by John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Free Dance to She Said by Jorane Neverland by Takenobu. I loved both of these looks. Their Short Dance was very Beatles "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" costume fab and the Free Dance costumes were verging on late 80's/early 90's Versace HOT HOT HOT!
