Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2008

Review from Style.com:

Diamonds Are Forever was the theme song Elie Saab had in mind for his Spring couture show. It wasn't literally on the soundtrack, but the entire collection was based on the sparkle and color variations of the world's most expensive rocks. It certainly looked as if he'd invested in a mine of silver sequins and crystal—they were lavished on every number: sprinkled over tissue-fine silk, chiffon, and satin; smothered over bolero cardigans; and clustered in chunks on bustiers.

Valentino's Final Bow

Valentino's Final Bow

Valentino is bringing the curtain down on his 45th year as one of the world's most famous fashion designers here at the Rodin Museum in Paris. The Italian famed for his lipstick red dresses has dressed generations of the world's most glamorous women and led a life as flamboyant as his creations. His retirement is being heralded as the ending of an era of great designers with the modern fashion business having little room for such larger than life personalities. Valentino in his turn has made clear his feelings about the modern industry. "Business is ruining fashion," he said. "There is little creativity and too much business."

Cathy Horyn of New York Times:

Last night I bolted out of the L.A.M.B show, nearly knocking over the publicist Paul Wilmot. Sorry, Paul. If ever there was a reason for a pop star to concentrate on her vocal skills, it was Gwen Stefani’s fashion meltdown. Among the words I wrote in my notebook, until my pen came to a stop, were “blob,” “very last season,” “bad secretary,” “astonishingly bad,” and “Ditzville.” I’m amazed—now—I had that much to say.

Style.com Review:

NEW YORK, September 6, 2007 – "Katharine Hepburn meets Audrey Hepburn," is how Rose described her Spring look. What, exactly, does that mean? A new sportiness, for starters. The show's standout piece was a bottle-green belted taffeta anorak coat-dress—hardly a new concept, but one that added a peppy zip to the other, more elegant, fare. The same silhouette topped a strapless, floor-length dress with embroidery at the hem, just the thing for a black-tie garden party.

The Katharine part of the concept meant more pants than usual on her runway. Rose called them knickers, cut them in cotton canvas or dungaree twill full to just below the knee, and paired them with long tanks or tunics. Audrey came forward in the form of a sweetly feminine day dress in a subtle polka dot; and, for evening, slim, skimming cocktail numbers in Matisse-bright silks with scalloped hems.

Rose loves texture. She experimented this season by layering corded or pinwheel lace over linen sackcloth in contrasting colors. "How do you make burlap couture?" was the challenge behind a strapless persimmon-and-ginger number. It’s the sort of High WASP, lo-fi concept that would have appealed to Kate the Great and, very likely, will to the swans of Park Avenue.
