"Girl-Scout Camp Military" Meets Fall 2010 Couture

Straight from J. Crew's Creative Director Jenna Lyons, we can look forward to "Edie-Beale-goes-to-summer-camp" fall 2010 catalogues and a softer military look that's balanced by sequins, pearls and bright lip colors like "Funny Face" by NARS. Stills from the fall 2010 catalogue shoots:

How does this style agenda fit into the couture frontier we're beginning to see in Paris right now? Well, lots of frills, lace, floral-inspired designs and feminine shapes. Floral look below from Dior, a Balmain-esque design from Givenchy, and a gorgeous, neutral floor-grazer from Elie Saab.

Finally, another look from Dior, left, that pays homage to a Fendi oldie-but-goodie of Spring 2009 RTW, right:
