Haute Couture

[jjsjr]

I can't be the only gay guy here who's appreciative of the very superficial, yet wonderful art of clothing design....

Anyone willing to post up photos of their favorite examples of haute couture clothing or possibly a favorite fashion photo shoot?

Just curious... after all, this is the clothing department!

I'll look for some, meanwhile this is the book for you. And if you have a discerning eye...(I'm in it)

Dior has their Autumn/Winter 2010 Haute Couture collection by John Galliano on their site with video and pics. I've always felt that they are among the top fashion houses and one of the few who still have a haute couture collection (others are Lagerfeld for Chanel, Givenchy and Lacroix). This collection seems to have a 40's feel to it..excellent!

Your cock looks pretty designer to me. Like to see it on the runway....

Plus Armani, Elie Saab and Valentino...

BTW although not an official couture house, the new Oscar de la Renta collection is very impressive. But if you are after real couture, Givenchy for the win. :biggrin1:

You've said it Artful Dodger. Sure, Galliano is great, Lagerfeld is still going, but Ricardo Tisci is where it is at right now. He is relevant, and new in a field of design that has so much history. He's building on a new area of exploration alongside Alexander Wang and Gareth Pugh. Heroine chic and futuristic grunge for the win.

I loved the things that I had from this man in the 70's he was a one of a kind that many have tried to copy but his fabrics and workmanship were unsurpassed!

Alexander Wang, Gareth Pugh and Balmain's style aesthetic gives me the drama of high fashion and the wearability of sportswear. They are my favorite houses right now.
