Yumi Katsura Spring 2009 Haute Couture

Some people called this collection tacky but I think this collection is simply stunning. Great color combinations, intricate details & really rich prints! This collection is just really well done. If I have the money I will definitely buy the gold dress + gold chains home.

  4. I would never have anywhere to wear it, but I do actually like the third dress you picked with the peacock feathers :)
    This collection is very intricate and well-done...not the most practical, but it's still beautiful!

  43. Some pieces are a little bit "too much" for me, BUT I love the last dress, I think it could be the perfect wedding dress!

    ReplyDelete
  44. I'm not sure which side I agree with, haha! I can fully appreciate the creativity that went into this collection. The fabrics are beautiful, I love the use of feathers. Each dress (except one or two) has soooo much fabric on it. I would love to see these in person, to be able to inspect them and feel them.

    ReplyDelete
  45. wow i haven't seen this
    i love that first gold dress
    everything is so over the top
    perfect example of art in fashion ;)

    ReplyDelete
  46. well damn! I've never seen a collection so overly designed.
    The black and gray fur coats are highly stunning, but some of this stuff is way too much for my eyes to take in.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Hmmm well I would say the coats are a tad tacky, but everything else is just grande. I adore the back of the gold chain dress. I also just fell in love with all the big gowns. The red/gold gown, and the white gown are stunning and oh so extravagant.

    And yes that is Coco Rocha!

  65. Somehow looking at these pictures calms me down. It's probably the white background...
    I like the gold dress too!
    I can see why some people called this collection tacky, but I also like it. It could look tacky if you do something wrong, but everything's been done right here. I think it's the minimalistic runway that makes the pieces seem even more elegant too.

    ReplyDelete
  66. P.S. Used one of your photos and linked you today, darling!
