Couture is here, my darlings. Galliano took a big step this time by toning down his collection and banking on truly beautiful simplicity instead of raw shock value to propel the show at Dior. Chanel was brilliant, of course, just uncontaminated brilliance (that gorgeous black gown, the 5th from last, is probably one of the most beautiful I've ever seen.) Valentino was very, very sexy. It was a show that you would like to dislike because of a few drab pieces in the beginning, but after you've seen the entire thing you can't help but adore it.

Out of the four that I've seen, though, I have to say my favorite so far was Chanel, barely skipping ahead of Saab, which was a refreshing burst of perfectly done color.
