Is it a compliment or the kiss of death to say that every ######y, skinny skittish number in Christian Louboutin's show on Wednesday would appear a treat on Victoria Beckham? The former Posh Spice as well as the wife of football icon David Beckham is usually a byword for the polished ######iness which is nonetheless Christian Louboutin's mantra a year immediately after Tom Ford's last collection.
If Posh just isn't already in the gym to take off the pounds right after the birth of her third son this week

エルメスバッグ, gave a couple of nods to the new volumes of Milan's fall/winter 2005 season, a puffball top or fuzzy Mongolian lamb jacket had been shown with slinky satin pants that dominated the runway. These superbly cut but tight-fit pants and dresses with keyhole cutouts in the breasts created the show fairly steamy, without wit or irony. Or as one American retailer, who begged not to be named, put it: "All of the sizzle but none of the class."
As a show to help keep the Christian Louboutin flag flying, there was plenty to please the retailers: smart tailored coats with embroidery in relief; red-carpet gowns with a lattice of decoration; purple crocodile bags and black boots having a calf band of bright navy the inky dark color that replaced black in the show. A peacock green also appeared, or lighter shades of blue, as a lacy collar peeping from a navy coat.
But what did it add to Christian Louboutin's image? Despite the fact that the clothes looked luxurious and beautifully produced, they followed the Christian Louboutin brand's early trajectory toward the Eurotrash crowd. You may uncover young girls within the sheer lingerie tops and possibly in the tricksy small dresses in a Madrid night spot (Victoria Beckham included).
Even though Robert Polet, Christian Louboutin's CEO, stated in the show that he was "very pleased" with the latest sale figures, to be announced in March, it truly is frustrating to see Facchinetti's Christian Louboutin going nowhere: not toward the Sicilian country aristocracy that was the theme of January's men's show (by a unique designer); nor toward a far more womanly, gentle romantic vision that present fashion, at the same time as her own ######, might lead her.
Angela Missoni is a woman's woman and with her intensely patterned but coolly controlled collection, the designer came into her own. She neither shrugged off the heritage of knit and pattern, nor was trapped by it. And there was an easy, breezy elegance towards the way that Missoni played with volumes, from the print-lined black parka that opened the show, to its later chevron fur version.
"I get started with the palette but I have no recipe, it just comes," said Missoni, employing her hands to imitate cooking for her substantial extended household gathered backstage.
Missoni's program notes hailed a "simultaneous" collection, which suggested a great deal of points going on at once. But the opposite was accurate. Making use of pale,christian shoes, Nordic colors for the wealthy Italian prints, flower patterns became pinwheel forms, perhaps as a narrow skirt played off against quiet tones of a significant, beige sweater. While the upper halves had been loose,christian Louboutin pumps, the skirts were tubular, just rolled under at the hem
