My Five - Givenchy Couture Spring 2012
Here's a group shot of the compact Givenchy Couture collection (gigantic nose rings and all). Anyone up for a glamorous game of basketball?
Even if it's not your style, you have to admit that these are impeccably crafted. Tisci and his team are so darn creative. In fact you have already seen one of these dresses on the red carpet on Zoe Saldana at the SAG awards last Sunday. She looked amazing, loved this look so much!

My Five - Giambattista Valli Couture Spring 2012
Where Dior lacks in bridging old and new (as discussed earlier today), Giambattista Valli excels at it. In fact he makes it look so effortless, THIS is how Couture is done in the 21st century! It's wearable, sophisticated, modern, yet timeless. Thank you Mr. Valli, you created a masterful collection. Oscar stylists, look here for glamorous gowns galore! Here are my picks:

My Five - Christian Dior Couture Spring 2012
*Sigh* I so want Dior to have some direction again, I want that SHOW that we used to get, that homage to the past while at the same time reaching to the future. That perfect mix of technical and fantasy, old and new. McQueen did/does this masterfully, Galliano was right there with him. Such a shame he effed it up by being a d-bag. Anyhoo, this collection was nice, but too much an homage to "old" Dior, as in "oh, there's the new look silhouette, from the 40's and 50's!" Oh well, enough of my rant. Here are my picks:

My Five - Chanel Couture Spring 2012
This collection was all about blue, black and boatnecks set in a futuristic airplane. And Karl says air is blue so there's the connection. I don't really know if air is blue per se, but hey, SpongeBob's pants aren't technically square so I won't split hairs. Whatever. You know some girl I went to college with won a fabric design competition for a Russian airline. So her fabric is in some Russian airplanes. Random thought that popped into my head. Just call this post "Jenny's Potpourri". Here are my picks:

My Five - Armani Prive Spring 2012
This collection was all about blue and green and texture and sparkle and sheen. This is one of those times I wish I could get my hands on the fabrics and just study them, they look amazing. If I don't see that last dress at the Oscars I'm going to be PO'ed! Check out my picks:
