couture-ache

[if you don't already know this about me] i love fashion. when i was in highschool, i was in AP Studio Art with a concentration in fashion design. i was completely obsessed. i would get so excited to go online and check out new collections from designers. instead of procrastinating on facebook or solitaire like every other student, i would spend hours upon hours researching fashion lines and fashion shows. i would form my own opinions as to what trends would flee in five weeks and what would become revolutionary in the fashion world. to me, fashion is a way of expressing oneself: it's art. i know it sounds stupid. i would have to sell my right kidney just to buy one couture dress from Chanel or Oscar de la Renta. but a girl can dream eh? anyways, i know that this is such a random post, but i was reading an article in the New York Times about fashion week in New York and a warm fuzzy/nostalgic feeling came wafting over me. i went online and went straight for Fall 2010 couture collections. some of them were ok; Givenchy and Chanel were disappointing, but, oh boy, Christian Dior....i feel like a school girl with a new crush. j'adore Dior.

here are some of my favorites:
