Avant garde? Yes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Outre? Leaning that way, perhaps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wearable? Oh, yes.</div>

One of her signature elements is pleating, and I love the pleated effect on this top. The layers of fabric are lovely.

<br />
These two dresses are intricately constructed, and somewhat similar in feel.

This garment tells us a lot about the way the more voluminous pieces are contructed.

First example of laser cutting.

Another fabulous example of laser cutting, and a darling dress.

<br />
I love this, and what fun to wear over pants, as we're seeing so much of this year, and it's calling to me.
<br />

And finally, this is just SO much fun, besides being beautiful.

The closely fitting cropped crocodile top is so fresh looking. The back is a fun surprise as well.

<br />
I'm liking the dress over pants look more and more, and although this is a dress over shorts, I think you could make it work very well with narrow pants for fall.<br />
I like the sheer dress/tunic with openings for pocket access.
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLIJFXP612Ytcalp3Xkrf-VqQqKBBoWW8soc0AwbvjRNv81LqmfPZbKCk9YtOlwJgd9JxO9EiJNvs9FPI3zP96sQoCkJjd63S4ULgUtI_HBS5ZcWXOxsCFLSBxbLf8ZlpVVWxX1Q/s1600/alexander-wang-resort2013-20-600x900.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLIJFXP612Ytcalp3Xkrf-VqQqKBBoWW8soc0AwbvjRNv81LqmfPZbKCk9YtOlwJgd9JxO9EiJNvs9FPI3zP96sQoCkJjd63S4ULgUtI_HBS5ZcWXOxsCFLSBxbLf8ZlpVVWxX1Q/s400/alexander-wang-resort2013-20-600x900.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="267" /></a><br />
<br />
The sheer dress with opaque slip is nice too, although it could be a little more fitted.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmTM8QVfpDz5M3zJqhi0iKuNJvYt3Qj2WKe2TBrucEFdB0YtimX5m_Sv3MlMll_sM9vPeSO1SXXUCOTkUcSHN61H5PAEwwO8E-XxWPU9MiInTmPez6gy0o2_cSE_GByr07o9O3oQ/s1600/alexander-wang-resort2013-9-600x900.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmTM8QVfpDz5M3zJqhi0iKuNJvYt3Qj2WKe2TBrucEFdB0YtimX5m_Sv3MlMll_sM9vPeSO1SXXUCOTkUcSHN61H5PAEwwO8E-XxWPU9MiInTmPez6gy0o2_cSE_GByr07o9O3oQ/s400/alexander-wang-resort2013-9-600x900.jpg" width="267" /></a><br />
<br />
I like this jacket with the interesting seamlines and asymmetrical sections. It would be nice in a wool or a heavy linen. The sleeves are a little heavy, I think.
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqLWUqarGUHHg-bGfWJwon6bk-ISuxdAxX8wf91C-AkIiJe6PMq_Rdk6VbY9PGs0F7HPlrZFiK9hg6-aN4b2G3t7HNw9JGCdM33VKxF970oke4VqqY-2_IXbhytVbiwXX5F_kihQ/s1600/alexander-wang-resort2013-13-600x900.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqLWUqarGUHHg-bGfWJwon6bk-ISuxdAxX8wf91C-AkIiJe6PMq_Rdk6VbY9PGs0F7HPlrZFiK9hg6-aN4b2G3t7HNw9JGCdM33VKxF970oke4VqqY-2_IXbhytVbiwXX5F_kihQ/s400/alexander-wang-resort2013-13-600x900.jpg" width="267" /></a><br />
<br />
This top is similar, but a little more interesting. The sheer areas give it an intriguing style.
<br />

Beautiful embroidery and embellishment is classic Dior, of course.<br /><br />This is the first of a couple of 'back-to-front' effect jackets, which I'm liking a lot. This has a lot of volume in the front, but the back, which you can see at the side, in the second photo, is the real treat.<br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/2011/fashionshows/S2011CTR/CDIOR/RUNWAY/00020m.jpg"></a><br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/2011/fashionshows/S2011CTR/CDIOR/RUNWAY/00030m.jpg"></a><br /><br />This is my favorite 'backward' jacket, and again, you can see the back in the second photo. I could see this shape in a much more casual, and cold-weather look with pants and a turtleneck underneath the jacket.<br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/2011/fashionshows/S2011CTR/CDIOR/RUNWAY/00040m.jpg"></a><br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/2011/fashionshows/S2011CTR/CDIOR/RUNWAY/00050m.jpg"></a><br />The beautiful cutaway coatdress is nothing to sneeze at either. I love the play of overlay and no overlay.<br /><br />One more volume jacket, and the asymmetry of the pattern on the fabric and the overlay is quite fetching. The back is on the next photo as well as a lovely dress.<br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/2011/fashionshows/S2011CTR/CDIOR/RUNWAY/00070m.jpg"></a><br /><br />This angled volume is wonderful. I love the top with the volume and sheer overlay emphasized on the right, and the skirt with the volume, overlay and embroidery on the left. Too perfect.<br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/2011/fashionshows/S2011CTR/CDIOR/RUNWAY/00080m.jpg"></a><br /><br />How sophisticated is this? The embroidery once again enhances the design rather than just being a beautiful addition. I am just so impressed with the way every single element of this design adds to the complete package. There's not a false note anywhere.<br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/2011/fashionshows/S2011CTR/CDIOR/RUNWAY/00270m.jpg"></a>Lianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13235950571276425579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10974971.post-61746904587633881392009-07-06T21:59:00.000-05:002009-07-06T21:59:39.757-05:00Christian Dior Couture Fall 2009<a><img src="http://media.wwd.com/images/processed/Collections/2010/haute_couture/christian-dior/portrait/00-main/christian-dior02.jpg"></a><br />A very pretty portrait neckline with embellishments shown below.<br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/F2009CTR/CDIOR/DETAILS/00080m.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/F2009CTR/CDIOR/RUNWAY/00040m.jpg"></a><br />A beautifully draped jacket.<br /><br /><br /><a><img src="http://media.wwd.com/images/processed/Collections/2010/haute_couture/christian-dior/portrait/00-main/christian-dior05.jpg"></a><br />This is a bubble skirt I really like.

Quite a tour de force, but I'm not sure it's terribly appealing. There is quite a group of skirts with this shape, which does not necessarily carry on all the way around the skirt.<br /><br /><br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/S2009CTR/CDIOR/RUNWAY/00060m.jpg"></a><br />More ribbon and a tulip skirt.<br /><br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/S2009CTR/CDIOR/RUNWAY/00100m.jpg"></a><br />A very interesting sleeve treatment, with an extended flange over the shoulder and sheer sleeves underneath. Almost a medieval/renaissance construction.<br /><br /><br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/S2009CTR/CDIOR/RUNWAY/00120m.jpg"></a><br />Pretty choker holding the twist draping.<br /><br /><br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/S2009CTR/CDIOR/RUNWAY/00150m.jpg"></a><br />I like the top of this. Very interesting dart shaping and the curved hip seams are unusual, but seem to fit in. This cap sleeve is used a lot in this collection. Detail below.<br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/S2009CTR/CDIOR/DETAILS/00320m.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/S2009CTR/CDIOR/RUNWAY/00160m.jpg"></a><br />He uses a lot of cartridge pleating in applied pieces, both on the skirt here, and on the bodice at the shoulder. Beautifully embroidered fabric.<br /><br /><br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/S2009CTR/CDIOR/RUNWAY/00190m.jpg"></a><br />This is just so appealing, and so young.<br /><br /><br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/S2009CTR/CDIOR/RUNWAY/00200m.jpg"></a><br />Control through pleating/gathering.<br /><br /><br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/S2009CTR/CDIOR/RUNWAY/00220m.jpg"></a><br />A very soft hem on the top.<br /><br /><br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/S2009CTR/CDIOR/RUNWAY/00260m.jpg"></a><br />Beautiful hip emphasis and embroidery.<br /><br /><br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/S2009CTR/CDIOR/RUNWAY/00270m.jpg"></a><br />Beautiful soft neckline and dimensional flowers.<br /><br /><br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/S2009CTR/CDIOR/RUNWAY/00280m.jpg"></a><br />Classic Dior ballgown.<br /><br /><br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/S2009CTR/CDIOR/RUNWAY/00320m.jpg"></a><br />I love the Delft embroidery on the inside of the skirt.<br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/S2009CTR/CDIOR/DETAILS/00650m.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/S2009CTR/CDIOR/RUNWAY/00340m.jpg"></a><br />If you love beautiful fabric, you have to love this dress. <br /><br /><br /><a><img src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/S2009CTR/CDIOR/RUNWAY/00380m.jpg"></a><br />Interesting construction. It's all inside out, as are many in this collection, but how perfectly done. Love the wavy seam allowances.
