The Ultimate Window Shopping

You can’t beat a bit of Haute Couture gazing for the ultimate in window shopping. I know I will probably never be able to afford any of it but that doesn’t stop me looking. I love the attention to detail on the couture clothes and the often extravagant designs. Christian Lacroix is probably the king of extravagance when it comes to Haute Couture clothes and his Autumn / Winter collection was no exception.The collection most certainly had military and historical references with leg of mutton sleeves and jackets encrusted with jewels. Frilly skirts complemented corseted bodies and the look completed with spiky top knotted hair and lace veils across the eyes. The details were as usual fabulous and a quick glance at these clothes was just not enough to discover everything they had to offer. As usual the collection was a fiesta of colour texture and pattern.
