grammy power.

  Obviously during the Grammys, some people totally hit the nail on the coffin, while others completley missed it and fell through. I took a while to post my take to really evaluate what the stars were wearing, and if it was a right fit.
Being that this is Armani Prive its amazing, but I would MUCH rather prefer a more simple Amani dress for Gaga. I think her outrageous style is getting really old now, and designers shouldn't be so quick to cater to her attention seeking style.


I said this many times about Rihannas dress,( Elie Saab Haute Couture) it was amazing, and a perfect fit for her, but I just there was a little less of the feathers surrounding her neck. Also, the jewelry coating her hands wasn't necessary.


This Kaufman Franco piece on Taylor Swift kept my attention al night. The cut  around the bust is so graphic, and the shimmer of the fabric makes me feel as if im looking into outer space. Great dress.


AMAZING Dolce & Gabbana dress on Keri Hilson. It's so classy, and the jewled belt just ads a little flash to the cream color.

- NO MORE TWEED!
- A nice understandable inspiration done in a unexpected way (S/S 2008 for example)
- NO MORE PREDICTABLE REFERENCES! (i.e. Marie Antoinette, farms, etc.)

DIOR
- NO MORE REDONE DIOR SHAPES! ( i.e. bar jackets done for 3 seasons in different colors)
- More wild prints! ( not just leopard!)
- More FUR!
- MORE CRAZY MAKEUP!

ARMANI PRIVE
- NEW JACKETS! ( no more typical Armani day suits)
- Less literal interpretation ( S/S 2009 Haute Couture show was too literal)
- More pants and frilly skirts, less pencil skirts!

JEAN PAUL GAUTIER
-NO MORE LITERALLLLLL!!!! ENOUGH SAID!
-More  Haute Couture from The September Issue! ( Fall 2007 HC which featured kings/emperors of different nations/countries)
