COUTURE season seems to be the perfect time to find inspiration when it comes to planning this summer's holidays – Giorgio Armani took us to Turkey yesterday and this afternoon Jean Paul Gaultier went to Morocco. 

It was a rich and varied collection with each and every exit completely different to the one before it – so bulbous stripes led the way on dresses of asymmetric or off-the-shoulder style, followed by super-cinched tulle gowns heavily held at the waist by big gold belts, luxe skin tuxedos and tailoring, fancy-frilled maxi skirts, patchwork trousers and drapery with rich embroidery running throughout. And no look was complete without exotic chandelier earrings and hair piled up high to show it off to full effect.What exactly is a Sweetheart neckline dress? It was a collection layered with glamour and drama and plenty of sartorial narrative. 

“It showed the range of Gaultier and it was very true to him – all of his favourites, the corsetry,” noted Vogue fashion director Lucinda Chambers. In fact, the only thing that was missing really was the blue and white stripy T-shirt (but we imagine we might see that in the ready-to-wear show). 

But it was the end that made for a special high note – Gaultier sending out the traditional end-of-show wedding gown and from beneath all of its skirts hid four little children, all dressed in neon shades, who ran down the catwalk and clearly enjoyed every moment of doing so – the result of which got them a standing ovation.Our gorgeous dessy bridesmaid dresses are perfect for wedding, proms or any occasion when you need a little extra warmth and glamour.

Plus waste diversion generates green jobs. For every 1,000 tonnes of waste we throw into a dump, we create one job. But if we take that same 1,000 tonnes of waste and divert it -- by reusing or recycling -- we create seven jobs. 

Ontario desperately needs a zero waste strategy to save money and generate jobs. Right now,Search our wedding photo gallery for thousands of the best Rina di Montella 1520 pictures. Ontario has a flawed cost structure that makes dumping garbage less expensive than reusing and recycling. We can fix this by creating incentives for businesses to eliminate waste in the first place. 

Right now we, as taxpayers, pay for the disposal of packaging, disposable products and hazardous materials. By shifting the cost of waste from property taxpayers onto industry, we can create a clear profit incentive for businesses to eliminate waste. Our entrepreneurs will have a market incentive to produce less wasteful products and offer services to reuse, repair and recycle. 

The Liberal government's inaction on waste is costing Ontario money and jobs. It is a threat to our environment and the health of our communities.
