Favorite Couture Looks

Here are some of my favorite looks from the Fall 2009 Couture shows in Paris last week which are up now on Style.com .

It went from elegant construction...

to unabashed badassness at Givenchy

Dior revisited the New Look with marvelous results

I'm really drawn to the detailing of this coat

and it's so cool to see more emphasis on the waist

like on this dress at Christian Lacroix

I'm completely in love with the light, romantic feel at Valentino

And then there's Chanel... I was in raptures over this look.
In my book this is perfection. However


Karl Lagerfeld also managed to produce this little number
which actually sent a little chill of horror down my spine

I just... yeah... If you can find any redeeming qualities about this dress (other than the model, I love Magdalena!) I'd love to hear about it. I really can't wrap my little brain around this one! In fact thinking about it is making me tired. I think I'll go to bed. adieu!!
