Mexican panna cotta..

After looking at Christian Cota's A/W 09 collection, I feel like going to some place fancy.. where I can be elegant and poncy. I'm happy to accept wedding, bar mitzfah, garden and dinner party invitations..ehem.

What I loved about his collection is how he put a twist on elegant pieces. With a mute palette, hints of metallics, there's lots of poofing, twisting and turning going on. I generally love poofy stuff..especially poofy sleeves. The poofiness was excellentally executed in this collection especially in the black blazer jacket, the midi skirt, and the gold jacket.

I will never forger my dress hunting shenanigans for my friend's wedding last November. Maybe my next ballgown will be something sheer like one of those dresses..

After being brought up as a painter in Mexico, Christian moved to Paris to study painting, and then was whisked off to Parson's school of design in NY. His attention to detail is impeccable (impeccable? what? I never say that..). A lot of embroidery, organic clean cuts are incorporated. Here's a closer look..
