Ann Demeulemeester Fall 2011 RTW
These are my favorite looks from Ann Demeulemeester’s Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear collection. Rugged, chic, and elegant, with lots of different textures and layers, this all-black collection channels fashion from after the apocalypse.

Mmm…Galliano
I love, love, love John Galliano’s runway makeup. Often 1920s-inspired, it is dominated by bow lips, rosy contoured cheeks, just the thinnest of brows whimsically penciled in, and heavy shading in eccentric and interesting colors around the eyes that literally creates shadows, hollows, and a “bleeding,” “bruised” look. The effect is simultaneously macabre and playful, a pastiche of makeup for young widows in the silent era. I love the interesting mix of colors, the heaviness, the drama of it. No matter whether you find yourself really liking Galliano’s couture or not, the makeup is always innovative, elaborate, and striking, and that is part of the couture, creating a magic and mystery about it.

Christian Dior Spring 2010 Steampunk-Inspired Collection
Awesome Dior runway collection with plenty of steampunk/neo-Victorian influences. The second half of the collection seems to be inspired by Marie Antoinette/18th-century France, Old Hollywood, and formal wear in general. Here are a few of my favorite images from the runway show:
