>> As much as I like the flexibility that comes with modern clothes, there's something that's always been so fascinating about huge crinolined gowns with yards and yards of trains. These are the clothes I wear in my dreams.
Annie Leibovitz's editorial for September US Vogue features both modern and rococo versions of these huge gowns -- and I'm in heaven. These gowns, if nothing else, are the reason why we can't let couture die.

Love it! Love the whole spread. This is what Vogue Magazine is all about.
That's beautiful! Annie is the best!
the floor and the dress have a kool contrast...ENID P.allabout-style.com
someone really needs to tell annie leibovitz that her cover is too much of a juicy couture ad....
They have that collection up at the met and it's worth checking it out.
Looking at Couture is like playing dress up in my mind. It is where fashion starts telling a story.
Styling is incredible and a visual feast and that's fine, but if interested in developing a film than that's not enough. That's why it's a film and not a magazine layout or a music video. Ludivine Sagnier would have been perfect and not because she's French but she's naturally beautful, talented and has something edgy and hip and interesting about her. Kirstin is too simplistic and has maybe three expressions in her repertoire of flirty/sexy, weepy/victim, giggly/jumpy which is perfect for Cheerleading flicks. KD was fine as Sofia was good at painting her a new face, new style and directed her movements but all of her three expressions are not enough. She's a bit clicheed but I guess that is why some people like her, she's satisfying on a basic level of let's say eating a Dunkin's Doughnut.I hope Sofia creates more clothes that are a bit more upscale than MilkFed and sells them in the US. She really has an aesthetic eye and is quite the talent.
I think Alison Lohman would have done a terrific job.... she would have conveyed innocence and naivety in Marie Antoinette very well. I personally think Kirsten Dunst did a good job but it was the stylistic elements that carried the movie, and and so her acting kinda came secondary to that.
I kind of like her as an actress, but that's just me.Out of curiosity, who would you have cast as Marie-Antoinette instead?
the gowns are lovely and amazing, but... that girl, kiki dunce is sooo not worthy.
totally agree.. love hugehuge gowns!
