- Giambattista Valli
I absolutely adore and follow RTW
seasonal collections but my heart is definitely with couture lines. The Fall
2012. Couture season in Paris despite ever growing economic crises didn't disappoint.
Bouchra Jarrar
Business smart designer
who's made precise tailoring the key aspect of her work, Jarrar called her new
collection a "continuation of the
wardrobe, of the story I've been telling since the beginning." The
collections focus is on cut, double-breasted silhouettes, emphasized shoulders
which continue to remain in trend from season to season, military buttons, fox
fur and circular scarves, sleeveless coat dresses and lovely strong women
suits. I love the comfortable look and feel of the gray suit in combination
with brown accessories and circular fox fur.
Giambattista Valli
Giambattista has absolutely
showed his mastery of couture inspired by an old Hollywood glamour. My favorites were sleeveless crocodile top which
emphasized waist and transitioned into a peplum flare over a white lace pencil
skirt.
Jean Paul Gaultier
Designer celebrated the life
of late Amy Winehouse, using her as inspiration for his couture collection with
a help of corsetry wizard Mr.Pearl. The whole collection was a big wonderful couture
mess of an excess featuring satin peignoir, pencil skirts, gorgeous lace, silk
parkas, sequins and finally parading veils. 
Chanel
Karl presented all the
shades of blue you can think of in his couture collection featuring streamlined,
upbeat, tons of embroidery and forward-looking, slash pockets on dresses,
boyish attitude... this collection had that well known Chanel's boy-girl thing
going on, girls looked as comfortable in these couture pieces as men would in
sweats on Sunday afternoon.
Versace
The
focus of the Atelier Versace collection were „warrior women“ gowns with corset
waist, daring lace teasing at strategic spots hugging the curves and exaggerating
the waist, hips or shoulders, shaping the perfect hourglass figure with gold metal
inserts.
Elie Saab
Known as red carpet designer,
due to his shinny and sparkly but romantic and effortlessly floating gowns in
none intrusive pastel shades. The unprecedented strength of his gowns is the lightness;
they look and feel so light.
Dior
Bill Gayten did a wonderful,
maybe a bit reminiscent of the past collection featuring sheer layers, classic
black and white floral designs, gorgeous embroidery, splashes of sequins,
lovely contrast in between thick massive black crocodile scales and sheer floaty
fabrics. 
Valentino
Designers Pier Paolo
Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri were inspired by French royalty culture and
created a collection of gentle floral print, lace embellished, sheer organza,
light, feminine, modest and delicate dresses. They were at the same time
practical, cultural but modern despite long sleeves and high necks.
