Spring 2010 Paris Couture Collections & Trends

Here are the trends we spotted at the Spring 2010 Fashion Show in Paris:

Alexis Mabille: This is a good example of when geometry meets fashion. Mabille’s Spring 2010 collection definitely stood out in Paris with the cartoon-like couture. Two-toned hair color and fashion: Black contrasted by vibrant Fuschia, Blue, and Yellow.

Armani Privé: "It's about the moon," explained Giorgio Armani before his show. "I always need a hook to get into a collection, and that was it—thinking about something romantic and dreamy, far away from our everyday life. Something less harsh." You can see the lunar references in the Classic, Soft, luminescent fabrics and curviform cutting fabrics.

Chanel: Classic couture, refreshening Pastel colors with a hint of silver complimented by Lady Gaga's "Heart-shaped" like hair.


Christian Dior: Romanticized gowns. Sleeveless fanned tops. Rich silk and colors topped with sequins.

Givenchy: Dark, strong, erotic and dramatic beauty. Riccardo Tisci took us back into time – the 70’s with cocktail dresses featuring spiral-cut sprays of organza, jumpsuits in black lace with boleros, and a section of long evening look.



Jean Paul Gaultier: Giant sombreros, fringed and silver-studded denim; bra-top feathered dresses; shifts embroidered with bright jewels or worn with metallic shoulder and leg-guards; and ball gowns woven, in the manner of peasant baskets, in ribbons of shadow-dyed silk and suede.. a Mexican fiesta in Paris indeed!

Au Revoir Monsieur de Givenchy


Sad news has struck the wonderful world of Fashion. We're mourning the death of a high-end fashion patriarch who has succumb to cancer.



PARIS - Jean-Claude de Givenchy, once head of Givenchy’s couture and fragrance businesses, died on May 18 in Cannes, France, of cancer. He was 84.



De Givenchy was born in 1925 in Beauvais, France. He began working with his brother Hubert de Givenchy soon after the Givenchy fashion house was opened in 1952.



A former Air France executive in the U.S., Jean-Claude de Givenchy returned to France, where he was charged with running Givenchy’s haute couture business and its fragrance activities, which were started in 1957. Among the brand’s notable scents from that period were Le De, L’Interdit (which was created for Audrey Hepburn), Eau de Vetyver and Givenchy Gentleman.



Jean-Claude de Givenchy left Parfums Givenchy after it was sold to Veuve Cliquot in 1981. Givenchy’s fragrance and fashion businesses are now part of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton.

He may be gone in flesh, but he'll forever be here in couture!
