Alexis Mabille‘s fall 2010 couture collection fell short of what a Paris couture collection should be. There ware some beautiful pieces, but not enough of them to impress. For example, some jackets and tops were pared with slim black trousers. I don’t care how fabulous those trousers are, you don’t go to an haute couture salon for black trousers. Perhaps I am being overly critical, considering it is a young brand without the resources that the big names have, but I really believe that if you are going to call yourself couture, you had better be prepared to deliver.
I love…
this beautiful, girly lace top. But the black trousers are a couture no-no.
fabulous sleeves.
a large, soft pink bow.
I loathe…
a lace bustier and black pants. Not very haute.
a black suit that looks like it has been stolen off Viktor and Rolf's catwalk.
