Almost Done, Almost There

Vogue China Collections S/S 2011 

Yes that is me, gasping for air and desperate for rest (and good food! hence the slightly opened mouth). But fear not dear readers, for I am on the final paragraph of this damned French essay on « Au Bonheur des Dames » and shall find the reprieve I seek in the form of Spring break.
 D-2.

Expression Figurative

Have you guys heard of all the crazy things that are going on at Paris Fashion week? First there was the Dior's firing of Galliano and next are rumours of Pilati leaving YSL are coming up again, Decarnin's failure to be present at Balmain, along with more possible internal restructuring at LVMH. I don't know if anyone escaped unscathed some way or another. To placate everyone's confusion over all the Paris drama, here is the most gorgeous and inspiring Vogue Paris beauty editorial I've seen in a while (compared to the little girls in makeup? yes) in Carine Roitfeld's last issue. Is it just me, or is Melanie Ward--who styled this editorial--is doing an awful lot of work this season? 

And to end on an especially happy note, the countdown to Spring Break begins: D-6.

P.S. I also did some reorganizing of the blog that leaves part of it incomplete for now. What do you ladies and gents think? Comments and suggestions are very much welcomed.

Goodbye Galliano Too?

It's too bad my first fashion post in a while had to be about this but, this is the latest on the John Galliano and Dior issue from NYTimes by Suzy Menkes:

John Galliano’s departure as design director at Christian Dior brings to an end a wild fashion ride, in which grace, glamour and shock, in equal measure, sent the once conservative Parisian house leaping forward both in its image and its financial success.

Dior said in a statement Tuesday that it was beginning legal action to dismiss Mr. Galliano, the 50-year-old designer, whose romantic and theatrical fashion shows revitalized haute couture, following accusations of drunken anti-Semitic rants in Paris.

I have to admit Dior wasn't my ultimate favourite brand, but I did like gorging on their fabulous fantastical spectacle of a couture show, which was really fun to watch. I don't really know all the nitty gritty details over the "anti-Semitic rants" but I do hope Galliano can recover from this and move on to better things. Bon courage!

(As for image, sorry for the quality for it was hastily made.)
