Dark, Sexy, Body-Con and Feathers:

Violet Working Woman: Gucci Fall 2013

The Look: For Fall 2013, Frida Giannini of Gucci, went dark, subversive, and UBER sexy with her collection. While her Spring 2013 Collection was all colors and Italian Riviera Diva circa 1960's, for Fall 2013, she's paler, harder, more moody, and now, has moved on to taking her Fall/Winter trips to London...or Finland. Gorgeous wools, pythons, feathers (LOTS!), lace, brocades, and satins--both shiny and matte.

Armani Prive Spring/Summer 2014

The Look: Giorgio Armani's latest haute couture Armani Prive collection for Spring/Summer 2014 was named "Nomade" for all the tribes that drift under heaven's domes. There were essences of Byzantine, Ottoman Empire and some Lolou de la Falaise for good measure (scarf-wrapped heads, couture gypsies). The collection began with models sauntering very slowly (see video at end of this post) showcasing the elegant, simple-yet perfectly tailored jackets, pants and skirts that keep those Euro royals and Gulf States ladies coming for more. The finale showcased gorgeous Swarovski-crystal encrusted sweeping gowns that scream Cate Blanchett, Jodi Foster and many other A-List gals...just in time for the Oscars.

Colors: Blue, silver, gray (Hello! It's Armani!), metallics.

Trends: Head-scarves; Lolou de la Falaise as a Muse; palazzos; fuller dresses--fitted at the top, fuller at the bottom; jacket extremes--cropped jackets vs. longer looser styles; Byzantine details/accents.

Grace Couture: Atelier Versace Spring/Summer 2014

Last night, Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2014 began with the Atelier Versace fashion show. The show featured a Lady Gaga soundtrack (that "Donatella" song is INFECTIOUS!) and Miss Gaga was front and center to witness it all...

Muse and Designer--Lady Gaga (in Atelier Verscae Spring 2014) at the a dinner thrown by Donatella Versace

The Look: Donatella Versace took inspiration from Fashion Icon Grace Jones and her penchant for wearing hooded couture--usually from her favorite designer Azzedine Alaia...

Hooded Diva: Grace Jones

For the Atelier Versace Spring/Summer 2014 collection, the "Donatella Glam Goddesses" were mostly all hooded--a la Grace--in perfectly tailored yet UBER sexy suits, silk jersey draped cocktail dresses and glittering sequined and draped gowns ready for the red carpet. If you have no problem having EVERYONE staring at you at a party as you walk in with your Billionaire boyfriend, then this is your couture.

I can't help but also think that besides Grace Jones, I also can see the fabulous Sheikha Mozah of Qatar (above) as being a secondary muse for this no-holds-barred Glam-a-licious colelction.

Colors: White, pastels, pinks, baby blue, chartreuse, silver, black, royal purple

Trends: Hoods!!! Silk jersey draped Goddesses; cowl draping details; cowl capes, semi-open backs, sequined midriffs/corseting; Art-Deco sequin accents.
