As you all know, Paris Haute Couture Week was held last week, and I’ve been spending whatever time I get obsessing over all the collections. Since the Cathy Horyn article, many have been talking about the future and possible death of couture, which is really sad. Often, when I’m checking out ready to wear, I somehow get sidetracked and end up in couture, and, well, end up staying there! From the decadent, truly one-of-a-kind gowns to the larger-than-life hair and makeup, it all just takes you to a world of fantasy. And caught up in all that fantasy, I often imagine how gorgeous I’d look flouncing around in an Elie Saab or a Zuhair Murad. Oh and I also end up sending pictures of the dresses to my boyfriend, who by now is fine-tuned to reply back with an “Oh, you would look like an angel/princess in this,” every time he gets such weirdo emails from me! 😉
Along with Elie Saab and Zuhair Murad, who are clearly the obvious choice, here are some of my favorites from Fall 2010 Couture Week. It was truly a daunting task to pick from so many exquisite pieces, but I managed to pick ten of my favorite ones. Take a look!

Clockwise: Givenchy, Christian Dior, Elie Saab, Zuhair Murad, Valentino, Christian Dior, Zuhair Murad, Elie Saab, Armani Privé, Valentino
Which ones are your dreams made of and which ones would you like to see on the red carpet? Would love to hear back from you, lovelies!

Hmmm! They are all pretty but neither them is really ‘me’ … but I was at a gun point and had to choose one out of them I would choose the Red Elie Saab. It’s flowing mysterious and shows a little skin but covers up mostly. I guess how I like it 🙂
Ohh wow..!! I lovveeee!!! 😀
All of them look sooo hot!! Especially the Zuhair Murad and Armani ones…
wow what a collection <3
I loved it and ellie saab <3
even christian dior <3
I loved the armani one too <3
Even i keep pestering my BF with such dresses 😛
Love,
the first one is exquisite..i can totally see myself wearing it..generally i have a kind of obsession with gold..this has gold (color) and sequins and is definitely a class apart..love it…and it would totally sizzle the red carpet as well..
great picks 🙂
I love, love Ellie Saab. All his gowns are so stunning and princess-like:-) Armani Prive was my second fav. I am a little iffy on the white gowns from the Givenchy collection…I would love to see the Dior gown on the bollywood red carpet!!

Splurja: I saw those 2 links. I liked, infact loved, Elie Saab. Its really Saab (Lion), especially those Autumn-winter 10-11. The first 3, vibrant red are outsatanding, also the rest 2. Ya, it takes a superfit physique n a tinge of courage to flaunt it.
But I would love to see me someone makin me awwww..!!!
Shantanu.
Don`t expect me to choose one now.. they are all bloody gorgeous.
If I had ten grand events in a year to go to, I’ll wear all of those, one by one.
Ok, the one that turns me on the most would be Givenchy and Elie Saab
Armani Prive. Hands down. 🙂

@Sonali: I liked both the gold ones from Givenchy though…would love to see Dior on Bollywood red carpet as well..Who do you see wearing it?
@ Shantanu: Elie Saab is my favorite!! Agree about the super fit physique but courage — don’t know about others but I would step into any of these in a heartbeat! 😛
@ Dipti: khehehe! Would be a dream come true to wear all of them! We need to have our own red carpet events!
@ Tamanna: Yup A LOT! If not in store than online! Serious problem..I have decided to make a list of all the things I could possibly be using shopping as a substitute for..after I get everything on my current wish list that is! 😛
