Haute Couture for 05/06 By Christine Albrecht

The Haute Couture line for Winter 2005/06 is now official.

Black is back, yet textured. Expect bows, tulle, brocade, taffeta, fur, satin, silk, feathers, quilted fabrics, embroidery, piping, and layered chiffon. The key component about the return of black is that the colour saturates the outer layers, allowing rich tones of emerald, lemon, fuchsia, lavender, (and the always chic winter white) etc. to peek through.

Silhouettes are slimmer, tailored, feminine, with a dash of beaded/chiffon overlaid flapper styles thrown in the mix. Sensual and sexy. Gold and silver accessories, stilettos and kitten heels added to the glamour.
