Lacroix's Guilded Florals

The Swelle Life15

The floral dresses from Christian Lacroix's Haute Couture collection make me think of an updated Marie Antoinette, if she didn't want to join the Noughties wholeheartedly. I can never get enough of this kind of look. I love the mixing of delicate, pretty florals with near-neon hues, and the overload of embroidery, appliqués with big jewelry.

The clashy-matchy curtains at the models' entrance complement the looks brilliantly, but I can't help but wonder about that carpet - was that really intentional? (Shh - I think they stole it from the Paris Holiday Inn lobby)

I do love the idea of the floral, sheer tights - it's one of my favourite looks to do head-to-toe in prints. But unfortunately in real life they make the wearer look to be in dire need of sclerotherapy. Or me in winter.

These however, are gorgeous on, with the pale heels and ankle decoration:
