Byblos didn't compose for the Spring/summer season so I have to turn to other more expensive labels for haute couture. And I also decided that Armani and Valentino's safe designs are not worthy of much perusal so I skip featuring theirs.
Chanel's characterized by leggings and black stockings, full/knee length patterned dresses, Greek styled dresses or 18thC inspired shifts, gold/silver sequins and body hugging satin. Those and zebra striped cloth, see-through black material, elaborately feathered and frilly designs on full bodiced gowns. Skin tone to silver, grey, to white, black and other flat monotones flat tone form the palatte with occasional repeated/checked squares.
Dior's displayed strong oriental influences (Korean/Vietnamnese/Japanese), Kimono, Korean or Vietnamese traditional dressing, with extricate motifs of oriental emblems, painted faces, Perfectly starched and pressed cloth, folds deliberate. Even shoes and headgear borrowed orient's style, clogs and wide brimmed hat. Colours were bold and bright, (reminiscient of geisha age.
Givenchy's this season is macabre and not without nuances of influence from the dress of the Pope. Matched with upturned hats (bowl-shaped), most models wore full length dresses revealing little skin, if not sleeveless, formless but fold-applenty pull-overs/jackets. Most of the collars also huge, and merges so you are not sure where the dress start. Colours were either flat toned or elaborately patterned.
Jean-Paul Gaultier's my favorite this season, with work heavily influenced by the Stainglass and Catholicism, mirroring almost Givenchy. Think coronation attire; heavy royal and gold sequins. Coloured scarf-like alternative materials peer from underskirts, else intricately flowery cloth, crosses applenty. Formless dresses, elaborate ball gowns (wedding dress style) with colours mostly stuck in the gothic-age; mostly beige, grey, black, oceanus blue, with occasional golds and yellows, else. Gautier displays his creativity this time through his extensively elaborate "corronation-style" headgears.
