Fall 2010 Couture Faves!!

Here are some of my favorites from the Fall 2010 Couture shows.. When I watch couture shows I am just amazed all over again with the imagination that the designers come up with season after season. The fabrics, the detailing but most important the structure of each garment brings it back to the the basics.. dressing the simple normal woman!! The curves it creates with each move is so romantic and doesn't every woman want to be swept away, well now you can no man involved!!
