Two favorite looks from the couture shows

Two opposites, really. I love the somberness, the simplicity, and yet the elegance of the black Lacroix - especially appropriate at this time. The mix of textures, and the silk turban, really work together amazingly. And the white Givenchy, is light and strong at the same time. I love the subtle white-on-white houndstooth, and the jewelry and accessories, which remind me of both the Statue of Liberty and The Little Mermaid.... yet are altogether modern.
