The Video of Tom Ford’s Fashion Show Is Now Online
It is still impossible to get a good look at any of the clothes. Need more... BUT i absolutly love below article form vogue.com
"Tom Ford’s comeback to womenswear after six years——is fashion meganews, not that he’s been sharing it with just anyone. The newly elusive former idol and inciter of the sexed-up Gucci-YSL nineties is doing things differently this time. He objects to the way the Internet eats up fashion images before the clothes can be bought. He despises sections of the press. Private and formal are terms he favors now.
“I do not understand everyone’s need to see everything online the day after a show,” he says. “I don’t think it ultimately serves the customer, which is the whole point of my business—not to serve journalists or the fashion system. To put something out that’s going to be in a store in six months, and to see it on a starlet, ranked in US magazine next week? My customer doesn’t want to wear the same thing she saw on a starlet!”So true. But the celebrity red-carpet fashion parade? Dresses flown fresh from runways to awards ceremonies? The whole degenerated step-and-repeat of it all? Mr. Ford, you started it. “Now I’m taking it back!” He relents just a little: “I’ll wait to see who’s nominated for the Oscars. Then I will offer to dress one person.”
What he wants to do now sounds almost like a volte-face from his brash, hot, logoed Gucci heyday. “It’s about individuality. Real clothes, real women. For a fashionable woman aged 25 to 75. That’s why I literally put many of my own muses in the show. I hear them say, ‘God, I can’t find that anywhere!’ ”
“I want this to be somewhere a woman knows she can go when she wants a great jacket—not a fake expensive jacket, something that has intrinsic value. I don’t think fashion has to change every five minutes. I’d like these to be clothes you can wear for a long time—ten, 20 years; pass on to your daughter. Why buy vintage when you can open your own closet!”

New comer in haute couture - Bouchra Jarrar

When I saw both her collections it reminded me so much of 1920's Coco Chanel, using colors like black, navy and cream, finding perfect balance between modern n classic look, at the same time very sexy, even if it looks so feminine, simple and perfect clean cuts will add so much strength. Can it get more Coco Chanel than this?

Givenchy Autumn-Winter 2010/2011
"RICCARDO TISCI has proved himself to be a man of contradictions on the Givenchy catwalk – but there is a general consensus that he is one of the most talented and exciting designers working today.It’s a notion not bound for contradiction after tonight’s show that, said Vogue’s fashion director Lucinda Chambers, “had all the angels and devils that we expect to see from him, but really, thoroughly beautifully put together”.When you turn up to a show and all the ushers and PR girls have been made up – or “Givenchy-ed” – you know that you’re about to see a true fashion performance. And Tisci didn’t disappoint.From neoprene and leather to feather light lace and barely there gossamer – which trailed out behind the models like literal angel wings – the show took models (with glossy, glittery red lips that implied that when they looked innocent, they most certainly weren’t), from the hardest, most pointedly tailored attitude to the most ethereal romance.As well as beautifully built, the clothes were wearable – jewelled scarlet handbags and gloves as much investment pieces as the blazer dresses and heeled mid-calf boots they were worn with. Miniskirts had leather fronts and lace backs, huge black leather Parkas were good to snuggle up in right now to keep out the Parisian cold, while a velvet version was worn with a chiffon blouse over a lace vest to take utilitarian looks into evening.Sumptuous velvet evening dresses, with one shoulder revealed in a pointed fold to reveal the sparkling chiffon underneath, made the best of the Givenchy woman: truly sophisticated and never less than powerful."
