Made To Measure X Couture X Paris

"Haute Couture should be fun, foolish and almost unwearable." 

- Christian Lacroix

Yesterday saw the start of the Couture shows in Paris. Now, right now we might not be Raf Simons' target market but we can still appreciate the craft and pick out the pieces we'd like to order, just in case we win the lottery this week. CHANELLO! 

DIOR 

ATELIER VERSACE 

CHANEL

The Original Miss Thing: Naomi Campbell

She loves diamonds, hates hotel maids and at 43 years old, looks freakin fabulous in a bask. Glamazon Naomi Campbell took to the Versace runway last night for the first time since Gianni's death in 1997. Looking as fierce as ever she opened the show for Donnatella wearing a barely there velvet blazer and not much else. The woman hasn't aged in the last 15 years, perhaps shes got her own secret stash of Elixir or maybe she just loves coconut water? However, we're guessing having the genes of a goddess might have something to do with it. 

In tribute to those enviable genes, we've selected our favourite snaps of our favourite miss thing...

 

Mushy Peas.

This is why you shoud never, absolute ever, 'try' and re-create the Jennifer Lopez infamous, Versace emerald plunge.... 'cos this is what you 'could' look like...

 

Tamara Ecclestone (yep, money can't buy you...) seen at last night's James Bond: Skyfall premiere. You have been warned people!


.... though obviously we would look great.

Versace Hottie.

We've started counting down, 30 sleeps til D day. And I'm considering flying back to London to be sure I bag myself 'THE' studded leather dress. If i'm left with a size 16 Japansese floral number i'll be gutted. Not that anyone can afford to be picky, it's going to be a blood bath. If you're taking this seriously, steel-capped boots and sharp nails are a must have if you're to stand even the slightest chance of beating the hoards of hardcore Chinese students - they love a good collab. I still get flashbacks of the Lanvin Fiasco where I sustained serious elbows to the face. Be prepared that's all i'm saying.

BO SELECTA.
