| McQueen's world of Theatrics on a Grand scale were always appreciated, this gown with hounds-tooth puff's & tight bodice are exchanged for red satin covered in birds flying in all directions a pronounced & electrifying example of his skills at pattern making & balancing the madness of fashion with the mind-bending imagination inside his head. The proportions are dead on. This would be a dress a future Queen of England could wear, crown filled with diamonds of birds and a design of the hounds-tooth as the foundation. Duchess of Cambridge would wear it well. If only! |

| It started with the ankle boot 2 years ago, then came the "bootie" then the bootie evolved into whatever you wanted it to be such as the armadillo shoe of McQueen's. Mary Katrantzou dressed her yellow booties with studs, a floral pattern of greens and orange, The studs made a frame for her painting in yellow and they are drop dead gorgeous. |
 |
| Orange, Yellow, colors still very relevant in this season along with layering one of the most important additions in fashion to come along create one of a kind silhouettes, allowing summer clothes to be worn in winter with layering pieces. It should have the award for most fashion forward part in our 1990's having no silhouette to define that decade. |
 |
| Giles with the Valentino Red, turns Peplum into ruffles, the skirt straight to the ground sweeping along as the model walked, swaying her confection, like a warrior Queen from some distant land. The imagination and cuts of these gowns, so new, so lovely and refined. |
