thakoon rtw fall 06

This is my holy grail of collections. I couldn't imagine loving any other moore than I fell for Thakoon's Ready to Wear Fall 06 Collection.


"Fall found the designer back down to earth after spring's ethereal show, feeling, as he put it, "moody." This meant a collection made of many themes...
...Thakoon Panichgul was passionate about cape collars, and he was also much attached to the corset. Some of these he built into dresses ...
... when paired with Manolo Blahnik's French-maid-style shoes, looked almost naughty.
...Preshow, Panichgul had hinted that the show would include "things that aren't what they seem," ...
which translated into a black dress with clever hand-painted stitches at the neckline, dresses that looked like separates, and the trompe l'oeil paint prints used for the closing pieces
The most-successful looks were those that captured a sense of Parisian chic. A striped dress and top (worn with skinny pants) had a jaunty Gallic feel, and a camel pea coat, accompanied only by leggings, nodded to Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face. – Laird Borrelli Style.com
While these cloths are near impossible for anyone with curves to wear, I think it just proves the old adage that people want most what they can't have.
And while I have spent a lifetime in a one-sided love affair with Paris and is style, I think that this collection can beguile anyone.
