Just to get things started

Last year when Chanel sent out its Resort 2010 I was head over toes all for it, and also the RTW Fall 2009 before that and RTW Spring 2010 that followed. But now turning the page to Couture Spring 2010... well, let's just say it was a tad disappointing. Despite how some commentators are saying that Karl is introducing a new way of dress while the other designers are seeking inspirations from the old. The sillouette was pretty much all the same and every model came out looking like dolls from the 60's. Now how is that new?? For me, old is good, vintage is good, furturism is good, it's all good as long as you what you are doing. Maybe Karl has just been overworking himself too much and needs to take a break. Nonetheless, he is a legend, hopefully he will turn things around soon enough.
Armani Privé, wow, "its all about the moon"... yea right. Some shiny fabric and moon shaped necklaces aren't exactly a way of showing that you were inspired. And Alexis Mabille, nah, simply not my thing.
Enough with the complaining. I loved Dior's Couture 2010, yes its from the old ages and yes its costumey, but its got flair. When everyone is talking about trying to sell during this economic recession, like returning to the basics such as 3.1 Phillip Lim, the idea should be restricted to prét-à-porter, and prét-à-porter only.

So, now you should get the point, this is yet ANOTHER fashion blog like all others. I'm no professional fashion commentator and I won't try to be one, also I'm not little genius Tavi who could make it to New York Times. But at least here I could jot down my thoughts and not have to turn in the unattractive direction of talking to myself about what I'm seeing (just kidding).
Next step, I will upload loads of pictures that I have accumulated over the years, those that struck me as absolutely beautiful. That should be a good base to build this blog on. For now, whoever is going to read this blog is going to be by pure chance, since I'm not going to post the address anywhere else or publicize it in any way.

Baci.
