Armani Prive Couture Paris 2013 A/W

I loved this Greta Garbo/Katherine Hepburn style collection. This was old Hollywood starlet travel wear, arriving on set with 30 pieces of Louis Vuitton luggage. This was for a woman as confidant in a trouser suit as she is a full gown. Entitled Nude, the collection was all sensuous elegance, with a lovely light palette and beautiful details of lace, beading and feathers.  Armani at his best.

Elie Saab Couture Paris 2013 A/W

Elie Saab is Elie Saab: beautiful beading, elegant lengths and romantic colours. It is not breaking any barriers but if you don’t look  at these dresses and feel their allure, then you are a colder soul than I. These dresses are perfectly made, perfectly fitted to the body and sumptuously decorated. I love the grey and blush tones in this collection and the wine and navy make a lovely accent in this grown up fairy tale.
