Pastel Couture: Alexis Mabille

No secret: I adore Haute Couture because it is unavailable and excuisite.. I have a huge respect for the craftmanship needed to establish oeself in this fierce invironment, and though I did not know of Alexis Mabille four years ago, I think he is nailing it every season.

And tell me one, who does not appreciate a soft pink runway!? A gorgeous choice to match his looks.

These are my favourites.

Det er ingen hemmelighed, at jeg elsker haute couture netop fordi det er uponåeligt of fuldendt! Jeg har stor respekt for det håndværk, som skal til for at kunne klare sig i denne hårde verden, og selvom jeg ikke kendte til Alexis Mabille for fire år siden, så kan han altså fange trenden hver gang.

Og nævn én, som ikke vil elske en lyserød catwlak!? Et fantastisk valg tl hans kreationer.

Disse er mine favoritter.

Some beautiful photos of the devine collection fra Chanel. Granted, there were a few pieces which were off key in my opinion, but overall the standard was very high. I love the palette of pale pink, grey, and black. Especially the dress just below is my favourite look - I just wish it was full length!!

How wonderful it must be to see these works of art up close, and to study the embroidery and feather details. I get easily fed up with the looks par se but I admire the craftsmanship anyday - even with the looks I am initially less keen on. I still don't understand the wing-trend going on at Chanel (like the photo above). Nevertheless, I am sure they look faboulous up close.

Well, there isn't really much to say about this, except that it is a very beautiful and cohesive collection, and I will start sporting the palette, and perhaps embellish a beanie!
