Winehouse Controversy

The beehive is not set to go away anytime soon. Jean Paul Gaultier shows us again why he is a legend. The designer used the late singer's style as inspiration for his couture show this Spring. Although I think this is an amazing collection, not everyone shares that opinion. The singer's father as said that the tribute is more of an insult. Click here to read more.

Pencil skirts, crafty corsets (as JPG loves), exaggerated waists, and crazy prints. The singer's loud personality definitely came through in the garments. No colors were shied away from, and no look was too wild. The highlight? The a-symmetrical necklines for me. With other couturier's looking back to the 1950s style, Christian Dior this season, Gaultier brings us that era for the modern woman. I for one think it was actually a beautiful send off for an artist that left her mark on a generation.

Favorite Look

A very difficult color palette to tackle, could not be done by anyone other than Armani. Style.com reports that the theme for Armani Prive this season was metamorphosis. It is appropriate then that there was a snake-like undertone to the show. The textures and of course coloring screamed snake, and slithering, giving us a finally with which a butterfly emerged (wait that's a caterpillar, well you get the idea). 

There was mesh on top of fabric just to bring home that reptile quality. Figure hugging garments gave that s-shape curve. There were some great pieces that will no doubt be on a red carpet soon, but she is a brave woman that chooses to don this color. Big risk, but great payoff

Chanel Air

There was the iceberg and now there is the plane. Karl Lagerfeld stayed true to his never failing to disappoint mantra with a couture show in an airplane. Fitting, no? Couture wearing fashanistas are all about the globe trotting these days. Its no longer just for royalty stuck in their palaces, even the royalty have become globe-trotters. 

Blue, blue and more blue. From the carpet of the show, to the song playing on the runway and oh, all over the garments. Lagerfeld brought us a futuristic collection, taking themes you would find common in the Jetsons and make them fashion relevant without being overkill. There was a definite salute to the 20s flapper in some of the looks. The strong theme? The play on man/woman, or boy/girl fashion. The dropped waists, slashed pockets and laissez-faire attitude in the clothing.
