Valentino Haute Couture was superb, one of the most charming collections presented at Paris Haute Couture this year, but beyond doubt the one with the most doll-like (maybe a little too much, even if they were adorable) dresses. The recall to young women in an entire Lolita style is very clear since the name of the collection: The dark side of first love. This is usually not a prerogative of Valentino collections, but I must admit I pretty appreciated the turning point, as I'm partial to pretty and innocent style.

Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture show backstage
I spotted on the Internet some fantastic photos taken at Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture show in the backstage. I don't know if it's the same for you, but I've always been charmed by backstage reports. The exclusive atmosphere, the anxiety and all the last preparations before the incoming show... I just love it! And well, I guess it's pointless to explain that the behind the scenes of a Gaultier show is extremely chic and surreal. Who wouldn't like to be there?

Chanel Haute Couture F/W 2010
An austere and strict style made of velvet and tweed clothes prevailed in the first part of the show and then it made room for more detailed and milder looks. There was an authentic play of proportions, which reaches its top with boleros on knee-length skirts, a sort of discipline meets boldness.
There's kind of a halo surrounding these incomparable and unattainable clothes in all their perfection that I'm sure I'll dream of them tonight and the nights after (and it won't be a nightmare, you bet).
