Lady Gaga, You and I
Lady Gaga's newest video just premiered today! The song? May be my favorite track of the album: You and I. The video? Very nice to see some production after a very disappointing Edge of Glory, and, nice way to Gaga-up the country. The fashion? Well take a look! A couple of Jantaminiau looks from the Haute Couture FW 11-12 collection were discernible amid the craziness. And I just have to say it: I called it!

Paris Haute Couture FW 2011 (Day1)
My favorite 3 days of the season are finally here! Let's start reviewing shows. Jantaminiau: Wow! Beautiful! Just look at the pictures and judge by yourselves. In my opinion, this is how a couture collection should look like, you know? Like someone actually put time into making it (as opposed to Anne Valérie Hash almost Zara-ish dresses). Oh and it goes without saying, this whole collection is so Lady Gaga, it's almost a pleonasm to mention it.
Next, Alexis Mabille. Some pretty pretty looks! A very animal, feather-ish feel to the collection, but all classy and elegant. I really liked most of the gowns. Wearable yet different. Or as wearable as couture can be.
Giambattista Valli: pink, red, black, white and a tad of animal print and feathers. I really liked it. A very traditional couture collection in the best of senses. Sticking to the house's style and giving it a positive, cheerful twist, filling gowns with tiny flowers and flowery fabrics.
And last but so not least, Dior. How do you judge a Dior Couture collection that Galliano didn't design? I'm personally finding it hard to be objective. My first reaction was that, predictably, it lacked Galliano's very particular showmanship and (above all) elegance. Some of the gowns were beautifully crafted, but the whole thing just felt (to me at least) like a shadow of its former self. On the other hand, most of the looks were just disaster! "Are you kidding me?" popped into my mind a couple of times. There was just too much going on. A word that summarizes the collection: mess. And from what I've gathered from twitter, no one has been really impressed by it at all. Take a look!
That's it for today. Thanks to Nowfashion.com for the pictures LIVE!

Paris Haute Couture SS 2011 (Day1)
Let's get started! First day of Couture in the city of lights! What did we get to see today? The highlight of the day, of course, Dior. Spectacular, as always. Let's start with that. Galliano got his inspiration from fashion illustrator René Gruau, who helped Dior creating his famous new look. I leave you to enjoy!... Don't miss the shoes! To die for!!
Let's take a look at Armani now. One word: electric!
Jantaminiau, a practically new designer, has shown his work in Paris since 2007. I especially loved these couple of looks. They look a bit McQueen-ish to me, but I'll take it. And, take a look at the shoes. They're dangerous. I could totally see Lady Gaga in those!
Khaled El Masri, charming lebanese designer. I have to say I love this dress and, with the Golden Globes so fresh in my mind, I can't help but thinking, Red Carpet alert!
Finally, thanks to Valerio Mezzanoti, of NowFashion.com. Thanks to him we get to see shows LIVE!
