Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Fall 2013

"Jean Paul Gaultier took a turn to the wild side with his Fall 2013 Haute Couture collection. With models' hair twisted sky-high and painted with leopard spots, animal prints along with sculpted volume were the themes of the season. The overall effect had more than a nod and a wink to the '80s with Mugler-esque quilting on jackets, oversize shoulders that would look at home on Grace Jones, and patterned tights with every look.
Standouts include a cobalt leather dress with a wide belt and exaggerated hips and a frothy bridal trouser suit on Liu Wen."by Melessa Liebling-Goldberg...fashionologie.com

 "Jean Paul Gaultier Fall Couture – Feeling in a feline mood, French designer Jean Paul Gaultier sent out a collection of big cat inspired looks for his fall 2013 haute couture collection. Known for his sense of camp, Gaultier did not shy away from color nor print with his latest couture outing. Models strutted the catwalk in body-hugging silhouettes covered in spotted fur patterns and leopard print stockings.
Gaultier also found inspiration in the clowns of cinema, citing references such as “The Clowns” by Italian director Federico Fellini as well as David Bowie’s “Ashes to Ashes” music video. The circus influence can be seen in bright, circular patterns found on dresses, cone-shaped hats and over-exaggerated trouser proportions. Still, it’s not all fun and games; Gaultier’s attention to craftsmanship is evident by the impeccable embroidery and shapes presented." by Joanna...fashiongonerogue.com

Elie Saab Fall 2013 Haute Couture Collection

To say that the collection is amazingly breath taking would be an understatement Elie Saab Fall Haute Couture 2013 was spectacular. The clothes were gracious, beautiful and flowed like they were not even touching the ground! I loved all the vibrant colors especially the Ruby-red and the Sapphire. The sequins on the gowns shone brightly making them appear even more beautiful. The draped chiffon gowns were especially the highlight of the gowns in my opinion. Creative.Haute Couture.Breath taking. Lovely. The clothes simply left an impression on me so I had to give you the whole collection.
