Fashion Week Day One.

Oh John Galliano! You spoil me so!!
Like i ever needed another reason to adore (or should that be j'adore?) this man. Then he whips out his Dior couture line and i die. Applause all round monsieur, this show was a classic example as to the reason NOONE makes me heart flutter quite like Dior.

Incredible right?
The emphasis on colour and the 50's inspiration really got me hooked and the cheeky stockings and bras made me fall head over high heels. I think we may have already found my darling of couture week. Plus he's clearly just made my wedding dress for me!

Christophe Josse's show was really red carpet couture. I could see these dresses on Angelina and Keira Knightley easily.

Alexis Mabille also showed yesterday and his chosen theme was a lot more pastel and demure than Galliano's.

Stephane Rolland's show really did nothing for me. I found the collection bland and there was nothing that really grabbed me as great couture. I've never really been into architectural clothing and i think this is why his collection doesn't mesh well with me. I think it has potential but was my least favourite collection of the day.

I have to say i am a huge fan of this year's fashion week already :)

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.

This will be the death of us, my friends.

This is how you make music.

SYG constantly deliver. They really have cemented themselves as one of my favourite bands with the new tracks they've taken out lately. Can't wait for the new album,their Epitaph debut, which drops on the 21st.

I've heard a lot of people say "oh it's not like Mutiny! the new songs wouldn't fit on that album" but that's why they're not on Mutiny! and are on This Will Be The Death Of Us.

Oh and big up Vinnie Caruana from I Am The Avalanche for his little guest vox.

If you're not into SYG i suggest you get your head checked.
