viktor and rolf

i loooove these viktor and rolf dresses. wouldn't it be lovely see these sported on the red carpet, instead of the same creepy, formulaic ball gowns show after show? - except for the SAGs...good job outta you celebrities. the fashion was quite lovely all around.

i'm just so obsessed with the ingenuity of the gown's architecture. i really love the last shot, and the third, where the tulle creeps up the sides and extends into one glorious, pointed shoulder.

if you don't love tulle, you're a fulle

sigh...to be french. i'm pretty sure they just dance around all day, lauding their own beauty and whimsicality, smoking and drinking coffee, and never ever getting fat.

found this editorial on karla's closet...just another reminder of why i long to be parisian.







i love all the tulle in this editorial. and the magnificent poses...so, "here i am, hanging out, wearing tulle, with athletic paraphernalia just chillin' next to me." you know, a typical afternoon dressed in haute couture ballet-inspired ensembles.

i've been seeing some summer looks incorporating tulle, and i'm kind of jonesin' to concoct a look of my own. preferably as something to wear to the grocery store, or maybe out for sushi...places that don't require tulle, but that i'm sure would appreciate my vibrant spirit.
