“Check it out, take it in, cuz that b*****? She’s so thin, she’s so rich, and so blonde, she’s so fab, it’s beyond.” And it’s Donatella Versace. The blond icon of fashion, who did the most sleekest collection of all for Versace’s Atelier this season. The Haute Couture week started in a steamy way, having Versace first on fire. The show was opened by Maria Carla Boscono, wearing a sexy, cut-out jacket and sleek black skirt. Then, again, the sleek blue top with a cut out skirt. So sexy. Voluminous gowns, killer heels and fringed skirts phreshed off the runway in purple / blue colours, but only Stella Tennant could be a perfect cherry on the top, in that meringue like gown… uph.

HC: Out of This World
Feeling a bit tired with this exhausting week, my mood is all about sci-fi: you know, E.T. and aliens… And, specifically, if talking about fashion, then that Chanel SS14 Haute Couture outfit is on my mind. It is so out of this world! With the Hussein Chalayan bubble dress, NASA’s man on moon and that crazy building in the backround, I feel like going on the moon…
HC: VIKTOR & ROLF SS14
Viktor & Rolf took as to a new, elevated level of Haute Couture. First of all… the models were real ballerinas. Styled as zombie-dolls dancing around the runway, Viktor & Rolf made a great performance (and just remind yourself AW13’s couture done by VF… meditation and zen were the main keywords). The collection was made only of latex- the nude coloured dresses, skirts and bustiers looked a bit sinister and scary… just like the eerie hair that the ballerinas had on! Definitely, if talking of fashion entertainment, Viktor & Rolf as usually marks all the points.

HC: VALENTINO SS14
“Fifty-five looks for fifty-five operas. The Valentino designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli were after something new for Couture this season, and they found it in the age-old tradition of opera. The show opened with a nod to La Traviata; Giuseppe Verdi’s score was embroidered in black on the long, full skirt of a parchment-colored tulle dress. By the end, they had called out all the greats: Puccini’s La Bohème inspired an elegant navy cashmere cape and silk crepe sheath. Bizet’sCarmen produced a pleated bronze tulle gown with silver-gray guipure lace embroideries”. And I loved the animals. Magnifique!

HC: MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA SS14
The Margiela team again made some magic for Haute Couture season. And this is a real black magic. Eyes, embroidery, fur, stripes, kimonos, canvas, sequins… art. The SS14 couture for Maison Martin Margiela meant recreating vintage “stuff” into a new, imaginery whole. The collection was about show girls- the tatoo looking like embroidered vest with these sexy pantalons. About illusion- eyes on the veils and handcuffs covered with fur. Brain activity and ancient cultures. So much different things simply touch them selves at Margiela. This is the world of artinasal fashion where nothing is impossible. That definitely was the most amazing couture of the season.
