Welcome to Wonderland

painting the roses red!

If you have been keeping up with the Couture Shows that have taken place this week in Paris,

then you will surely recognize these illustrations.

This is my own rendition of Alexis Mabille's Spring Couture Wonderland, and while

it didn't get raving reviews the minute I saw the giant flower head-pieces I knew I had to draw them.

It's like the flower garden from Alice in Wonderland.

And yeah, maybe the clothes weren't so ground-breaking -nothing we've never seen before- it was the theatric air that gave the show a certain punch. Maybe it's just me and my love for theatrics (Yeah, that's why I loved Galliano) and perhaps that's why I look forward to the couture shows so much, because they're not just runways, they're real spectacles.

Hopefully one day I'll get to attend one.

A girl can dream...

Chanel's epicness is back! 

To be honest I wasn't a huge fan of Chanel's latest collection.

The show was fantastic, the models coming out from the shell and Florence Welch singing live...

but well that's not a plus in a Chanel show, it comes with the package. 

But back to the collection, I felt it was  an incoherent show as though

as if Karl Lagerfeld wanted to portray so many ideas that it the clothes went in all sort of different directions and not in a good way. 

But this pre-fall collection that showed yesterday at Le Grand Palais in Paris 

was a completely different story. 

I completely loved it...the chains, the head accessories, the show...

and of course in contrast of all the prettiness a messy bun of dreadlocks and a 

massive dose of kohl eyeliner. Hell yeah!

I'm foreseeing lots of hindi motifs in our fashion future. 

Long live The Kaiser!

What did you think of the show?
