DIOR COUTURE VS DIOR COUTURE

I know couture has been passe now because everyone's talking about the Fall 2013 RTW now but I would just like to discuss this like the know-it-all I feel I am. Haha!

It's the Dior Couture Spring 2013 by Raf Simons vs Dior Couture Fall 2010 by John Galliano. Both were inspired by Dior's Garden. And obviously, these two have different interpretations.

I'll show a side by side photos of their collection (not all). The left ones are from the Fall 2010 while the right ones are from the Spring 2013 collection but I'm sure you know just by looking at the designs ;)

 

The first looks from the collection. Just from the start you know Galliano will take you on a ride. ;)


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The final looks. Quite surprised about the Spring 2013 choice. I think the dress that came before this was a much better finale dress. I was also puzzled by the decision to include 2 pantsuits (again) in this collection. He already had it in the Fall 2012 collection (sign of fillers?)

Looking at it, Galliano made a more dramatic interpretation but less wearable (although the second to the last dress with that blue skirt is my fave and is sure to be a red carpet best dressed) while Simons made a tame interpretation but wearable borderlining on boring and RTW-ish that even Topshop can reproduce. Imagine that? A couture-like dress for $100?

I vote for Galliano even though I love Simons' design in menswear.

What are your thoughts???

I GOT IT! I FINALLY GOT IT!!!!!

THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE OF VOGUE US! THE THICKEST ISSUE EVER!!!!!
YES!!!! IT WAS WORTH THE COMMUTE CARRYING THAT MUCH WEIGHT!
I SWEAR, I WAS READY FOR AN INTENSE WORKOUT CARRYING THAT BUT NOT LIKE THAT!!!!

AND I'M SO EXCIIITTTTEEEEEDDDDD THAT MY CAPS LOCK JUST WON'T TURN OFF!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

PICS!

John Galliano 0001/s and Vogue Magazine... PERFECT COMBINATION!

Do they look the same? Hahaha. What a difference 5 years makes! (Vogue 2012 on your left, Vogue 2007 on your right )

Anyways, there are a lot of ads but basically the most parts are a visit to the Vogue Archives. Like past editorials, honoring the forces of the fashion industry (I'm shocked that Madonna was not there knowing that she inspired Wintour in her first Vogue cover as the editor in chief) and profiling these people.

The editorials were great but I have yet to look at it some more because none of the editorials struck me like "woah!" just like last year's issue with "Kiss Me, Kate" and "My Generation" editorials. 

Also, there's only one perfume sample ad. :((((( The reason why I'm all for physical magazines than the online ones is because I can smell those perfumes and sometimes use them! haha! The perfume is Lancome and it smells strong and good!

ANYWAYS... just off topic. I've tried Madonna's "Truth and Dare" perfume. Yeah, I didn't like it. It smelled like an old lady scent. Well makes sense because it smells like gardenia and jasmine. If you're a Filipino reading this, I'm gonna tell you "AMOY SAMPAGUITA!" I'm sure you'll get it! But the bottle has a great design. Let's wait for her second perfume, I hope it has a younger scent. Anyways, I recommend you to try before you buy. :)

Oh yeah, in case you're wondering. The purple sunglasses on top of my Vogue September 2012 issue where GaGa wears a purple Marc Jacobs dress is by John Galliano. It's John Galliano 0001/s. It's the first model and it's so far the fiercest for me! Haha. I don't have a purple Marc Jacobs sunnies that's why I opted for the Gallianos.

Anyways, ta-ta!

TGIF- THANK GOD I'M FABULOUS!!!! That's our new mantra okay?

OKAY!

Til next time. More sunnies to come! And a teaser, I'm gonna share a DIY that's sure to tickle your hands to doing it too. It's easy, cheap and UBER FIERCE! It's a sunnies DIY, AGAIN! :)))))

All things UBE!

UBE! Purple! Violet! There...
I love how purple can be very feminine or very masculine at times. You just decide for yourself which one I did! haha!

WE CONQUERED ATENEO!

Just kidding! But we did went to Ateneo to see the Rizal Exhibit in the Old Rizal Library. It was an incentive in our PI 100 class so we just went. Besides, Ateneo is one jeep away from UP so carry! :)
