In an absolutely ethereal atmosphere, Marlena wears these amazing Haute Couture looks from the Spring Summer 2011 Collections of established Couture Houses the likes of,\u00a0 Gaultier Paris by Jean-Paul Gaultier, Maison Martin Margiela Artisanal, Chanel Haute Couture by Karl Lagerfeld, Elie Saab Haute Couture, Alexandre Vauthier Couture, the last Dior Haute Couture Collection by John Galliano, Armani Priv\u00e9 by Giorgio Armani, Valentino Haute Couture by Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci.<\/p>\n

A New Generation of Couturiers<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

This new publication reveals 3 bonus images featuring 3 fashion designers of the New Generation. There is an interesting twist in what they have on offer, their use of silver and metal in their outfits, which were\u00a0 all selected by the young and dynamic Japanese fashion editor, Sohei Yoshida<\/a>. These designs are in stark contrast to the soft billowy mist surrounding Marlena Szoka.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Maxime Simo\u00ebns<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The 26 year old French Fashion Designer, considers his Collection Semi-Couture (an intermediate category between Haute Couture and\u00a0Ready-to-Wear) as the prototypes are not tailored made for the client, but are available in different sizes. Nonetheless,\u00a0his\u00a0craftsmanship\u00a0featuring the “\u00e0 la Fran\u00e7aise Know-How” gave him the privilege to be invited during the official Schedule of the The\u00a0Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture<\/strong>. For his first “Haute Couture” show, he gave his own interpretation of French Queen Marie-Antoinette’s slice of life (no pun intended).<\/p>\n

The chain dress is one the master pieces of his collection that needed more than 300 hours of work and weighs more than 35kg. It represents Maxime Simo\u00ebns vision of Marie-Antoinette as a prisoner in La Conciergerie waiting for her judgment and execution.<\/p>\n

Since 2007,\u00a0Jantaminiau, from Dutch Designer Jan Taminiau,\u00a0has showed his collection twice a year in Paris during Couture fashion week. Surrounded and inspired by\u00a0antique dealers, decorators and interior designers, Jan’s Collections are a combination of\u00a0artisan techniques and a constant experimentation with forms, shapes and fabrics.<\/span>
\nMarlena is waving in a silver and gold sequins embroidered jumpsuit and full pearl grey chiffon over-coat perched on extremely high pumps inspired from Japanese\u00a0Ippon-ba Geta<\/a> <\/strong>and Chopine<\/a><\/strong> platform shoes worn in Venice in the 15th Century.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Couture has nothing to do with reality or being wearable. It is about free imagination and the extraordinary…
\nIn my quest for the perfect fit I pursue new shapes and unconventional techniques. By weaving and interweaving fabrics, I enable a natural form to emerge which highlights character from the wearer.”
\nJan Taminiau<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Their Spring-Summer 2011 Collection takes us in a “Kingdom of dreams where\u00a0the bodies of the fairy queens are covered with a thousand sets of jewels that shine with a fiery glow.” <\/em>Marlena embodies the LadyBird in this spectacular\u00a0outfit mixing Haute Couture and silversmith craftsmanship with its\u00a0leggings and body entirely embroidered and topped by feathers\u00a0carved in a metal cartwheel ruff which\u00a0has already been purchased by the only other LadyBird: Lady Gaga herself <\/strong>!<\/p>\n
