"IT`S SO BEAUTIFUL I COULD CRY"



Those are the words I use when people ask me what I think about Givenchy Couture A/W 2010


The lace, the fringe, the crystals, the gold, the feathers, and yes - the hair!

Givenchy went all out with this collection. Although they showed only 10 pieces, you feel you`ve gotten more than what you expected (in a good way) and you still want more! Being the 'goth girl' (I cringed at that description, but really I cannot find a better word for it) that I am, I have such huge respect and admiration for anything and everything Givenchy and Riccardo Tisci made. Of course, as expected, I would fall in love with this collection. But know that I`m not at all being biased. Anyone, even the girliest of girly girls, would appreciate this collection. It is, as Tisci has said, "A romantic way to see death"

The details are immaculate. The presentation is awing. Riccardo Tisci decided to present his collection in an intimate gathering, and I must say he did the right thing! A private show was the only way the audience would be able to fully appreciate the beauty of these pieces.

I find it almost impossible to choose a favorite, but I have to say the gold dresses, the white dress with the long structured jacket, the dark feather dress, and the hair jacket (reminiscent of Kate Moss V Magazine cover) are the ones on my wishlist.

The collection was inspired by Frida Kahlo, and I must say, although some of her paintings creep me out, she makes a great artistic muse.
