Couture Fall '09-Armani Prive

This collection improved as it went on. The second half, the eveningwear section, was fantastic, with clothing that, like the Alexis Mabille collection, really made me stop for about 15 seconds to take a closer look (and seeing as I usually scroll through the collections at the speed of light that was an achievement!). But most of the suits at the beginning weren't much different from the RTW collections, many of which erred on the side of caution and went for staple 'officewear' just like the first half of this collection. However, like I said, the second half was really wonderful with some excellent dresses-plenty here to like.
