Now that all the wonder that is Paris Couture Week has come and gone, I think I can safely announce my favorite collection of the Spring 2014 Couture season. Valentino's operatic inspiration bowled me over, and Alexis Mabille's Greco-Roman living statues put on quite the show, but it was Zuhair Murad's over-the-top femininity that won my heart.
At their laciest, Murad's designs call to mind Givenchy in the halcyon days when Givenchy still did couture (RIP), and at their most ornate, I couldn't help but see a little Elie Saab. I admit it: there's nothing ground breaking here, nothing new or avant garde, but the pure beauty of it all makes my heart skip a beat. It's a completely emotional reaction, but isn't that what fashion as art is all about?
Lesson learned? A gold waist cincher goes with anything.
Ohhh, so much lace! I love that icey blue number and the wedding gown is like something from a fairytale. Thanks for sharing these!

Ha ha I love the lesson learned. My favourite is the gold jumpsuit which is just amazing. But that's my pick of a great bunch of pieces. All of them are stunning.

Aren't they great? Now I'm on the hunt for a gold metal belt!
ReplyDeleteYes! Love the gold jump suit! You always have such a great eye, Arash.
ReplyDeleteI love the blue too! There are two more dresses in the collection that are the same color, but I just didn't have room to share them all here. :(
ReplyDeleteEvery single inch of this collection is perfectly crafted and so ethereal. I'm in love.
