I know you are couture, but I wanted to look at this loveliness. 
Maybe not every aspect of it, but most of it. I love this jacket- I want it to be attached to that matching skirty-business. 
Where is Iman- she could wear the stuffing out of this next one! 
Again, please get a valet to carry that coat so that I can see the dress better. Better yet- pass me the trench coat an I’ll keep it for you. 
Hmm…. I’m torn. It could be the dramatic crotch kerchief effect- something isn’t my favorite with this one. 
Hey there, fancy-pants! 
Hey there, needs some pants! 
Hmm….you know what this would be good for? 
wait for it….

Holy hula hoops, Anne! That collection just knocked my socks off, even the purple peasant top/crotch kerchief one…I pictured Cher wearing it back when she had her show with Sonny. The hairstyles all ratted up and sprayed with half a can of Aqua Net hair spray just brought back good memories of the 60’s. The earrings, shoes and models just oozed class and the luciousness of the fabrics just beg to be touched! The hoop skirt/pup tent dress would be perfect for Angelina Jolie’s growing brood, too.

I love most of these but especially the coat from #3. The last one looks like a recycle from a version of the Nutcracker (Mother Ginger).

The purple immediately made me go, “Ooooo!” then, “No, wait”. So… maybe those same fabrics arranged just a wee bit differently. The “crotch kerchief” isn’t so bad but I don’t do bare shoulders, and the skirt looks too slim for me. It needs to be flared out a little bit.

At first, I was distracted by the purple toe shoes in the ‘needs some pants’ pic, but then I saw the dress with the kids under it and was stunned speechless. I kind of like the brown boulder holder for some reason though…

Stripes and coats… I will take one of each. I NEVER expected the brood under the skirt. Sometimes I sit and wonder “who the heck thought of that and what were they drinking?” I guess it is a different take on the old woman who lived in a shoe…

I loved the first fw looks and then…well it got to looking like something Cher would wear in Vegas, just NMS. The kids under the dress??? Didn’t anyone flash back to A Christmas Carol when the Ghost of Christmas Present flashes two waifs from under his robes…

LOL at the last picture! “Couture Day Care”….it’s the latest in chi-chi-chic! Did those little tots walk the runway with her or cluster under there when she ended? Too funny!
Interesting fabrics and treatments, though…that dress with the trench over it is beautifully done. I’m like you – wish we could see the whole thing! Trench looks rather interesting, too, with that waist detail.
Fun post!

Hang on a minute there…..did they make those poor children crawl hunchbacked all the way down the runway and back before the big reveal or was it a big magic trick, them being catapulted up through the stage Destiny’s Child at the Superbowl stylee moments before she hitched her skirt up? I need to know these things before I commit to my couture.In other matters, I want that brown silk and lace panelled maxi and blouse. WANT.

The coats over long fancy dresses smacks a bit of the walk of shame, only with nicer hair and makeup not smeared all over their faces. Some lovely things there – if only I’d married better…
