While the number of shows continues to shrink from season to season, the recent Haute Couture shows for Spring 2012 rigorously continued on with the regal, other-worldly appeal that couture has always made feel so ultimately exclusive. >>MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWSAnd although a new guard is slowly joining the ranks with collections that veer a tad bit too much towards the unnecessarily dramatic, there were a handful of top shows that offered thoroughly modern and gloriously conceived options for the elite princesses and glamor girls of the world and for us simple dreamers alike.

While fashion's come & go, they do serve as a sign of the times we live in and work as a time capsule of sorts full of memories, moments and merriment.

House of Dior Homage Exhibition for Paris Fashion Week

Retail Remedy: Le Bon Marché in Paris showcases the Eternellement Dior We know how much Richard Nahem loves the Paris that he shares in his walking tours, and he will be tipping FocusOnStyle during Paris Fashion Week. Designer John Galliano has been certainly in the news this week for his rather horrific alleged comments caught on a cell phone video. I've been interviewed a bit for my opinion on this and, based on what I have seen thus far, personally support the House of Dior in its termination of the designer as its creative director in the wake of this situation. You can see the video on The Sun, here. Le Bon Marche Rive Gauche, a major Parisian department store

Oscar Dress Red Carpet Review

Fashion's Best, Worst, and Plenty in the Middle on the Academy Awards Red Carpet It's the morning after and which star wore the most memorable Oscar Dress? Truth be told, less is more when it comes to the perfect Oscar dress unless you aim to make a big bold statement on the red carpet. It's unfortunate that so many stylists got the memo on frothy dresses with full skirts and plenty of trains because by the end of the evening it was almost impossible to tell each ‘top of the wedding cake' dress from the next. But I do know that their celebrity inspired knock-offs will be coming to a prom near you. Sandra Bullock >> Don't miss OSCAR Fashion

Capture, enduring beauty

Sharon Stone stars in new Christian Dior skincare campaign Sharon Stone will star in a worldwide print ad campaign for Parfums Christian Dior beginning in spring 2006. You bet, I've had a narcissistic eye for all references to the name Sharon since I could remember. First, there was that infectious James Darren ditty, “I Ain't Sharin' Sharon,” track number 32 on his Teenage Tears album which I imagine only my parents could hum.

So by the time I first noticed Sharon Stone's modeling headshot back when I was
