It began for CC with Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring 2008 show, where both the models and their attire appeared drenched! Recall the seemingly sopping runway, pictured at right.Whether achieved with leather, plastic, silk, polyurethane, patent, sequins, or polyester, fabrics were made to look, well . . . moist!
Balenciaga's coats for fall are SLICK!
The slippery silver bodice of this Balmain drop waist dress could douse the flames of its fiery pleated skirt!
Versace strapless dress
Alberta Ferretti shiny tank dress
Thakoon puffed cap sleeve frock and gloves
Givenchy jacket
Ruffian belted coat 
Temperley London leather pants
It is perhaps most appropriate to channel the wet look via raingear!How cute is this Maria Lizaso mod raincoat with Peter Pan collar?
Visit lolaymaria.com to purchase.
CC also highly recommends a fabulously shiny pair of Loeffler Randall Matilde flat wedge patent boots (below left).
Anlo's Willa straight leg jean is treated with polyure-thane for a slick, leather-like appear-ance. Both at shopbop.com.

Hey CC!
I don't know about wearing, but there is something sexy about the wet look. ^^
Very cool. I count on blogs like yours to keep me on top of runway trends!
thanks for commenting on my blog! your blog is great!
Love the shiny shiny stuff! Great picks!
I also think it's very cool, and that I might wear some pieces of this wet look.
Thank you for sharing all this information.
xoxo
Not really all that excited about the wet look but there is something cool about it. Gucci crystal CC has this similar wet look as well.
epfantastic!
a kiss
Love Gaultier and his collection was great. And I definitely could wear the Loeffler Randall boots.
Lovely blog, puedo añadirte a links?
Thanks, darlings!
Y Patri, por supuesto! Yo hago lo mismo.
hi, you have such an interesting ed bio...and a fun read blog. stop by mine anytime.
No sé como llegaste a mi blog, peor ha sido divertido entrar al tuyo, sobre todo9 porque no me entero de nada y me dejé llevar por la pasarela y cambiar un poco la temática que siempre persigo... ¡ si es que en la diversidad esta el gusto!!!
me gustan esas botas...mucho.
saludos!!!
mmm the wet look is hot, but something i would never be able to pull off..lol.
right back atcha link!
Great post!!!
I say everything is possible in moderation!
i'm not a fan of the wet look. X( especially the hair! blah! haha.
All that shiny stuff looks great to me!
First, I´m really lovely many things: boots, bags (almost all), etc..
And after that, I´m so glad for your visit in my blog... I´d like see you again... Thanks a lot
Kisses
Hi Couture Carrie-the Jean Paul Gaultier top I bought has trimmings in the black patent wet look-I think a touch of it is a great way to get into the trend!!
I really do not like Balenciaga's clothes at all! Nice blog by the way:)
the balianciaga dress seems like made with chocolate, that's really fun. Anyway, i love the first one, it's so amazing!
The return of the minis. I love the Balmain.
Love the fabrics plus they look super onn the catwalk...not sure how'd they look on most people though!
I like the wet look, maybe I should get a wet look dress...
I really like the Balenciaga material, it's incredible but I really don't think I'd wear it!
So sexy ... but I'm not sure if I would be able to wear it myself. I loved Gaultier's mermaids so beautiful :)
I have definite issues when I wear the wet look. I have a wet look top and as explained on my blog, it makes me feel like I'm wearing a garbage bag when I wear it. Regardless of these issues I recently bought a wool pencil skirt that has wet look panels on the sides of the hips - v. cool and can't wait to wear it. So I've decided to embrace the look afterall (depending the garment).
I luvvv the piled on necklaces. so metal, and yet so chic.
great taste in fashion!! i'm adding you to my blog roll!
