(no subject)
I think I've caught whatever Caroline had. This morning I had a sore throat but by seventh hour I thought I would collapse, I felt so weak. My throat and the back of my tongue feel really swollen.
Pictures of the spring 2005 couture lines are up at style.com so I thought I'd post about them.
Elie Saab:
Generally 'meh'--the glitter comes off a bit tacky sometimes--but there were a few dresses I think are beautiful.
Chanel:
Such a sweet, ladylike look. Very romantic and pretty.
John Galliano:
The concept is apparently "Edie Sedgwick meets Empress Josephine" and I think he makes it work. I love the kind of reconstructed peacoats. The empire dresses are lovely.
Christian Lacroix:
Ooh, I really love this collection. I don't think he hits one bad mark, at all. Overall outstanding, and I usually don't even like Lacroix.
Valentino:
Very classic and beautiful. Lots of good potential Oscar dresses.
And the rest I was pretty much indifferent about.
Also, men.style.com, which I love for some unfathomable reason, has the fall 2005 menswear lines up. I really can't say why I even care about menswear, but I do. It's about half ogling the models and half thinking about what I would wear if I were a guy.
Burberry Prorsum Men:
Overall, I like the look; especially the skinny plaid pants. I really like this coat, as well. I really hate it when they go overboard with the Burberry plaid, though--so tacky.
Calvin Klein Men:
The color palette is gorgeous. Very luxurious jewel tones.
Costume National Men:
Has a rugged but still sophisticated feel to me. And I love love love this suit. I don't know why but I find the sash kind of sexy.
D&G Men:
I am so not a D&G fan, and this is just one example of why. Acid-washed jeans. Gag me. Also, ugh.
Dolce & Gabbana Men :
Oh. My. God. Men should not wear pants that low-slung. No one should wear pants that low-slung; it's indecent. No matter how sexy hipbones are.
Missoni Men:
Missoni always has the greatest knitwear. Such great colors and a nice lean silhouette.
Pringle of Scotland Men:
Overall I really like the collection, although there are some misses. It has such a fun color palette (I have pants almost that color!). I really love this sweater. Plus, kilts. Yay!
Viktor & Rolf Monsieur:
I think I may have said this before, but if I were I guy, I would wear Viktor & Rolf Monsieur all the time. Well, if I were a rich guy. Their suits and their more casual looks are always so pulled-together. Plus, the model is really cute.
I think I'm going to take another nap now, I think.
