  1. Happy New Years dear :) I love the idea of transparent clothing, that concept of a garment being there physically but not being fully there visually is so wonderful. Plus it gives a whole new spin to the idea of layering.

  3. Hope you had a splendid New Year's Eve!

    Transparency is my all time favorite trend. Complete transparency is a so daring that it's great. I think I'll leave the transparent pants on the runway, but a coat seems reasonable.
    The Chanel and Galliano shoes make my heart flutter.

    Amazing Post, as always. <3

  13. I'm not a huge fan of transparent clothing, but I did love some the transparent-ish dresses in a Dior collection a while ago.

    But awesome connection to the New Year!
    Happy New Year's - I hope your year is filled with joy and tons of great fashion!

  14. Happy New Year, Couture Carrie!!

    This post totally made me miss my transparent jelly sandals. :D I'm talking about the ones I wore as a little girl -the ones that were all the rage- silently missing them now.

    I love your posts. Always an inspiring read, my dear. Keep it up. :)

  19. Happy New Years! I am in the middle about transparent. It looks so fabulous on the runaway but if I wore it on the street, I would fear I would look like a homeless woman:) I wouldn't mind those grandois windows!
    Happy New Year Darling!

  31. Ooh I like the architecture shots, it's so clean and sparse. I wouldn't do those transparent handbags though, no need for everyone to know what junk I carry around on a daily basis!

  34. Hey darlin CC! Happy New Years to you! I know I've been MIA for quite a while but I've had a lot to deal with these past weeks. I hope everything is great with you!

    When it comes to sheer clothing, I tend to lean more towards the softer, more flowy fabrics rather than the see-through plastic type. I'm totally loving those transparent heels though!

    Have a great day tomorrow and I hope you enjoy your weekend as well. All the best sweetie :)
