2009 Couture: Christian Dior and Giorgio Armani
Things are getting haute in Paris this week, as the famous fashion houses show off their couture offerings. First up: Giorgio Armani and Christian Dior. Fab loved Dior's dresses, and I'm a fan of the models' beautiful hair and makeup.

The couture shows have begun in Paris. Now that we've seen the
relaxed resort collections, I'm ready for drama, drama, and more drama. John Galliano's theatrics touched every aspect of his production: the clothes, the shoes, the makeup, the models, the celebrities.

Step it up, it's time to step into the wonderful world that is glam-o-rama. Plain old flip-flops won't do your sexy bikini justice so opt for some fantastically fetching sandals. Take a clue from Victoria Beckham (cute son optional), who proves every day can be a glamorous day.

I am always reading about the history of fashion to see where designers' inspirations come from and what experiences they went through in creating their artistic masterpieces.
The Golden Age of Couture, Paris and London 1947-57 ($31), is highly recommended to any self-proclaimed couture addict. The book takes an in-depth look at Dior's authority on what was considered one of the most hailed fashion decades of all time.

Online Shopping Alert: Get Glam in Vintage Dior
One way to make sure you’ll never see yourself coming and going like Sarah Jessica Parker did with her
Sex and the City premiere-dress debacle, is to follow the lead of stars like Natalie Portman and Nicole Kidman — and even Parker herself on luckier days — and go with vintage couture.
