OMG I Love Paris Fashion Week Spring 2008 Couture Jean Paul Gautier

Jean Paul Gautier's Spring 2008 Couture Collection was shown at Paris Fashion Week last week and fashion week regulars Dita Von Teese and Blake Lively were both there.

Dita made a statement in a red check belted coat and a sequined berret whilst Blake looked great in a navy velvet high waisted skirt and a print blouse.

There were many skirt suits on show in plain and print materials. The jackets were slim fitting and the skirts were fitted with flared bottoms.

There were also gorgeously tailored trouser suits with wide legged trousers and jackets with cropped sleeves.

My personal favourite was the pin striped one though they were all great!

Other featured items were a black top with sheer panel, a floral print maxi dress and a fitted white waistcoat with matching trousers.

There were casual dresses with large flared sleeves and strappy minis.

The model's hair was worn covered in hair grease with fringes slicked across foreheads.

There were also beautiful but edgy evening dresses, my favourite being the black and cream dress with one sheer shoulder.


The gowns were highly structured and detailed in a dark gold colour or jet black and all were curve hugging. Feathers, lace and velvet were used to give a luxurious effect.

The entire collection was full of prints and dramatic materials so nothing was simple but it was all somehow very pulled together.
