Blank Doll swoons.

Shame on Marc Jacobs for his collection, so hastily put together he seems to coast merely on his fame alone. Granted this season has shown us a more sombre (and sober) Marc than last season but really.


Disappointingly, Jean Paul Gaultier does not do enough for Hermes this season though craftsmanship remains superb. John Galliano seems lost though his work for Dior was palatable and without a doubt, sellable.


To really appreciate the legacy of haute couture, look no further than Chado Ralph
Rucci and Alexander McQueen. Chado has done some very exquisite work based on the theme of quantum mechanics while in McQueen is the British Raj fantasy reborn.


I must confess for the tardiness of my entries. Trip to Macau was uninspiring though afternoon tea at the Peninsula in Hong Kong was rather nice. As of now, too many collections to digest in too short a period of time.


C'est tout.
