J'adore Haute Couture.

So Paris Couture week for fall/winter 2009/2010 starts today and this little trashionista is STOKED. Haute couture is my achilles heel, there's nothing i love more than just sifting through all the stunning, yet completely impractical designs. Couture week, in this financial climate, is even more of an escape from the norm and brings out the Marie Antionette mindset i love so much. These three days are all about extravagance and perfection, money is NO object for these designers.

The schedule is as follows and naturally i'll be keeping you all up to date with my favourite looks straight from the runway.

You'll notice Dior is showing their collection twice to accomodate all the interest from press and Fashion followers alike and Chanel is being shown at a pretty late 9pm, but since it's sure to be one of the most incredible shows i'm sure they'll be forgiven. I'm also really interested to see Christian Lacroix's show since, given the recent financial problems the house has had, it could very well be the last show from the house. I also can't believe there is no mention of a Versace show at all.

Obviously i won't be buying anything shown from any of the houses (the recession does unfortunately still affect girls like me) but my eyes will be peeled to catch the trends and colours to follow next season.

Oh i do LOVE fashion week.
