*Sigh*

Christian Lacroix

Bonjour my Friends!!! Happy Friday to you! My family and I are heading off to Palm Springs to visit my Dad. It is going to be sizzlin' hot! I can't wait to see my little Prince enjoying himself in the pool :)
Lacroix
I am simply mad about these couture confections! Why am I so obsessed with this dream world of couture lately!?! I heard today that Christian Lacroix is filing for what is equivalent in the US to bankruptcy. Hard times are hitting us all. :(

Chanel

The hair detracts from the beauty of this gown. Just look at those whispery soft layers (the gown not the hair)!

Armani


I simply cannot decide which is more beautiful the setting or the couture!


Dior


Dior always amazes and astounds me with beauty.


Dior


At least the hair is partially covered in this one!

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

  6. Judith,
    You simply outdid yourself today!
    I will be looking at these all day,

  7. I love how these photos keep me away from the refrigerator. Keep them coming. Such beauty. The hair? A bit poodle-like. I don't think there is a man in the world who would find it attractive...but then again, it is just for the photo shoot. I once had a permanent that resembled this, to my horror. But I was in NYC, so no one gave it a second thought. It was a great excuse to buy a wardrobe of hats - which is exactly what I did! Ha! Have fun in Palm Springs!

  9. Et voilá, the benefit of time difference when being on the other side of the Atlantic as I am, is to be first in line to see these divine pictures. I am looking at the interiors just as much as at the haute couture of fashion.

    Have a great time with dad,

  10. The gowns.. the setting... love both! I hate hearing that someone so talented is struggling -- I'm sure we haven't seen the last of Monsieur Lacroix! If I had the means, I'd purchase that first gown of his!
    Have fun in Palm Springs!

  15. Dreamy couture - dreamy settings.

    I must say my first thought was
    "Mon dieu - that girl doesn't weigh as much as her hair!"

    Have a great Palm Springs weekend....

  17. What a great photo shoot! I especially love the Chanel, so feminine always. I'm just not crazy about the model they've used- I don't think anyone in the world needs to imagine themselves looking that frighteningly thin. Thanks for the creativity once again:)

  18. Beautiful images Judith! The gowns are gorgeous but the setting is spectacular. Sad news about Christian Lacroix. He is iconic. Enjoy your weekend in Palm Springs with the family. You may have to get a pool for the little prince after his first experience.

  25. Judith,
    I hope you are enjoying the time with your family. Swimming sounds so fun and relaxing right now!
    About your post, I have never understood why designers want such grotesque hair styles on the models wearing their masterpiece dresses. Perhaps they don't want the model to detract from the beauty of the dress so they make the models hideously ugly with these coiffures!

  26. Christian Lacroix going bankrupt is so bad sad news. I love his use of colour.
