Haute Couture Fall 2012 Favourites

It's that time of year again, where we all wish we could get off to Paris and view the spectacles which are the Couture fashion shows. The fall shows included some amazing garments, and as I was selecting my personal favourites, I noticed I was either selecting nude shades or very dark shades with a definitive, glistening edge, and no in between. So here are my ten favourite looks, chosen for their originality, true beauty and overall astounding elegance.

Details:

I love this beauty idea from Chanel, where the nails were simply painted with one colour (2007 Chanel nail paint in silver), and then painted over with another (2012 Chanel nail paint in pink)in an oval shape, carefully not touching the edges. A huge inspiration for a new Nail Hart tutorial! The Maison Martin Margiela necklace, if you can call it that, is simply breath taking. Who needs clothes when you can adorn your body with such beauty!

Good job Gaytten!

I'm in love with the spring/summer Dior couture collection! I know its a massive, massive dream, but one day I want to be wearing these gorgeous designs! One day...

I especially love these beautiful, nude, dreamy pieces. The court shoes and nipped in waists are a nod to the recent tv show Madmen. Why can't I live in Madmen times?

How amazing are these! Taking you right back to the 1947 Newlook created by Dior himself. The dog tooth checks, waspie waistlines and that air of nonchalance, a perfect investment for any woman, who is minted of corse. 

I think Bill Gaytten has done a marvellous job at taking over from Galliano, hopefully he'll keep up the good work, so that I can continue dreaming....
