Message from Paris: Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2011















Gentle Reader -

Whether or not you liked any of the collections from last week's haute couture presentations, what was really registered was direction. That much was clear in the shapes and colors.

Gone are the days when collections tried to strike the balance between client preferences and trends - last week was all about trend.

Layering and draping in mostly pale colors, yes. Exquisite workmanship, yes. Dominance of pants, yes.

Despite geopolitical events, haute couture was intent on sticking to its own message that it is still relevant to fashion.

And a quick nod to Alexis Mabille, who presented two delicate options for summer: one in white, and a variation in blue and pink.
