It's superficial, fun, glamorous and beautiful but shallow. I agree with you about the clientele. A gown like this is too "pretty" to be worn to a club. I like the show for the runway quality and the Impossibility of the clothes. <br /><br />Galliano was a master and I miss him as well. There is a brilliant touch of crazy and sophistication to his work. <br /><br />A lot of the couture shows had sophistication but the drama was lacking, or like this one, the drama was there but the sophistication, not so much.Shane DeBrandthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07662338755482157038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3592711415788117619.post-66305719867299594832012-07-05T22:52:05.930-04:002012-07-05T22:52:05.930-04:00This is your favorite, eh?

Look at how all those strips and strange shapes of material are sewn together to make such a flattering shape? That's pretty impressive.<br /><br />I'm not a Versace girl, but I don't hate this collection as much as I usually do. It's definitely couture for the Victoria's Secret woman. I'm not a big fan of the sheer skirts, they remind me so much of Barbie clothes. And the dress on Julia Nobis is already falling apart, which makes me worry about the construction. I'm also worried about the clientele. It pains me to think that couture dresses are going to be worn to clubs, where they're going to get all sweaty, stepped on, and possibly covered in drink. I don't feel like these dresses are going to be cherished for life, but are almost disposable. <br /><br />However, this was a great show to watch. Totally glamazon, super sexy and lots of drama. Between Versace and JPG, I can almost pretend I don't miss Galliano. I do though. Galliano was theatrical drama that always stayed close to sophisticated even if it pushed a lot of limits. Donnatella is theatrical in a very L.A., new (trashy) Hollywood sort of way. And JPG is theatrical in a sort of off-kilter, down the rabbit hole kind of way.Lianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099297323658344389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3592711415788117619.post-24183121694227105062012-07-05T21:29:03.466-04:002012-07-05T21:29:03.466-04:00This is my favorite collection hands down.

There is just so much I love about it I don't know where to start. <br /><br />I love the styling, even if it is a little retro.<br />I love the fact that the gowns and models look good together, there is a harmony through out this show. I love the drama and the movement. <br /><br />That sheer gauzy material is gorgeous. This time the sheer works and doesn't dominate the clothing.<br /><br />Fave gown is the pink piece Jac is wearing.Shane DeBrandthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07662338755482157038noreply@blogger.com
