That's Haute!!

Impeccable fitting, ladylike elegance, gorgeous colors, incredible draping, deconstructed shapes, floral frocks, outstanding origami details, and over-the-top bubble shaped dresses are just a few words to describe Paris Haute Couture Spring 2008 Collections. Most shows were simply genius works of art. Some were beautiful on the runway but wouldn't dare to wear them in real-life. But overall, the couture shows were absolutely divine. Armani Privé was pure perfection and my fave with its edgy uptown girl meets high drama polished femininity.

Below are my top picks from Paris Haute Couture Spring 2008 Collections, you know, just in case I get invited to a wedding or a formal dinner or have to go to baby reception, my people will contact Armani's people to make the required arrangements.. now where's the measurement tape... and my mom's credit card..

Let's Start with Armani Privé...




And next, let's have a look at one of the dresses which i really liked from the Dior collection, which I think is wearable if you're skinny thin and fairly tall...

The following are some of the nicest pieces shown at Valentino show..




And finally I totally fell in love with this breathtaking white cocktail dress from Givenchy..

Don't mean to interfer but why sell it?! I say keep it! It could be a collector's item. Maybe with few alterations you could wear it again? Or maybe give it to a close family member?

Anyhoo... It's your choice at the end ;) Well, You can tryy contacting Madame La Reine. They resell designer goods on your behalf. Check out this post for further details:

Pink, i took some of my mothers Dior Couture dresses from the 70s and 80s and they readjusted them for me making them wearable today. These pieces are truly timeless u should keep them wallah especially since Ferre died this year.
Get in touch with Alex on the
(http://the-polyglot.blogspot.com)he knows the industry inside out. Dior might be interested in buying it back if its an important piece & in Paris their are specialized vintage couture shops that would be interested and know the value of such a dress.

Confashion, did yo see Versace's spring couture pieces? Even though i am not a Versace fan but i was soo impressed, they are truly stunning dresses. I bet we shall see some in the Oscars. Oh and check out Stephane Rolland he is one of my favorites as well.

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
