Dear readers, I am participating in Alphabe-Thursday where ‘F’ IS FOR *F*ASHION – HAUTE COUTURE 2000-2003!
Do tell me! And do check out other Alphabe-Thursday posts @ Jenny Matlock!
And, finally, thank you to all my dear readers who visited or commented.
Happy Ruby Tuesday (Works of the Poet)& Rednesday (Sue loves Cherries)!
Enjoy!
XOXO LOLA:)
Btw Thank you all so much for helping to make my novel, The De Clerambault Code - that I’ve just had issued in ebook format and wrote about in my last post – reach the TOP 50 psychological thriller category of Amazon’s eBooks! Woohoo! And all profits to charity too! I’m so grateful to all you dear readers wherever you are! Incidentally, in answer to the question I asked about the future of the traditional book, some of you commented you like its feel and smell (!) and could never see yourselves without it, but a small majority preferred the convenience and compactness of ebooks with book storage space at a premium in some homes.
But, where was I? Oh yes. In Monty Python’s immortal words, and now for something completely different! Fashion. Here’s Part One of a little retrospective: Haute Couture 2000-2003 (rest of the decade to follow soon!).
1. John Galliano for Dior, 2000 (above)
2. Laetitia Casta, YSL, 2000 (below)

Maybe I should get you to search me out a black and white number for my daughters wedding next may
Hey daaaaahling, congratulations, that is fabulous news about your book. I am so happy for you!
Of course you know I'm going to say John Galliano for Dior even though he is involved in that horrible mess. Also Alexander McQueen.
*kisses* HH
Fashionista for sure!

I can't wear anything that doesn't work with boots...
sigh..
well, i love love love the ungaro 2002 and the valentino 2003 pieces! just right for the gypsylife!
and great news on your book!
Downloaded your e-book couple of days ago, am half way through-really enjoying it! Hubby wants it as soon as I've finished.!!
Hi Nora and Lola,
I love the collection of Chanel, with Karl Lagerfeld. All the pale pink and ruffles are cute.
Happy day
Hugs

I love Versace and Valentino!!

Fabulous! You always have great fashion sense over here! Have a great week! Anne
I confess that I cannot see myself wearing any of these. :)
The YSL one totally made me laugh. It might be figure friendly for us chubby girls, though! Definitely hide every flaw!
Thanks for a fun stop this week.
You are fabulous!
A+
Now I've got it downloaded on my Kindle, am going to read the novel on my commute into work.
I am not at all knowledgeable about fashion, but is that spikey purple sea urchin looking thing on her head supposed to make her look attractive or artistic or something?
Love the eBook-great read.
Well, I don't think I could wear any of them. Maybe number 9. Kidding! I'm afraid I'm not too fashionable.
love these fashion photo shots.
enjoy a blessed weekend.
Hee. Some of the fashion on your list had me laughing at the absurdity! Thanks for sharing such a fun post! And congratulations on making to the top 50!
Thanks for this retrospective! I quite like the YSL looks, although the 2002 pieces is pretty much unwearable. I did see that in person though and it's pretty fun. I think McQueen's own collection (not pictured) was very interesting in the early 2000s as well.
Congrats on the success of your book! I hope I don't offend anyone when I say this, but #9 looks like a walking condom! I don't know a darn thing about fashion, but #5 looks like something that maybe I could wear. The rest of it is way over the top!
Happy REDnesday,
Carol
