Paris Fashion Week: Viktor & Rolf, Stella McCartney, Givenchy
Paris Fashion Week:Dries Van Noten, Hussein Chalayan, Emanuel Ungaro
Beautitful colors, relaxed and elegant pieces - love it!
Not a bad collection but the true Chalayan spirit was misssing. I guess that's also due to economical suituation and I really hope that Chalayan survives this crisis, he is one of the most innovative designers out there. I did like the collection none the less, the neon pieces and those bodice pieces were great.
Paris Fashion Week: Isabel Marant, Maison Martin Margiela, Comme des Garçons
A really nice and wearable collection, a bit simple but I like it. And I need those studded booties <3.
Such creative construction and cuts! You really should check out the whole collection, there's so many interesting pieces and looks. I think my favorite is that robot shoulder.
Absolutely amazing and so imaginative collection. It's like a fusion of so many garments and materials and done in such an interesting manner that you can stare at each look for minutes analyzing it.
Paris Fashion Week: Rue du Mail, Balmain
I love the color palette, the fabulous structures and materials in this collection.
Decarnin picked up where he left off last season. The shoulders of the glitzy embellished blazers were even more prominent, there were more studs and glitter - all in all a very predictable collection. But it works, it worked last season and so does it this season. Seeing that the body con glitter dresses were copied from NY to Paris I guess it was only logical that in a time of recession he wouldn't step out of his comfort zone. Especially given the huge commercial success. As much as it's nothing new I do really like the collection..it's very very sexy, very rock and extremely cool. What I most liked were the embellished slouchy pants - pure perfection <3!
Milan Fashion Week: Prada
I always look forward to Prada as it's always so unexpected and inspirational. This collection was very tough and warrior like. I really liked the flapper dresses and all those greatly cut coats. But as usual with Prada you got to let it sink in a bit before you can really make a judgement...and even if end up not liking it at all, it will be so all over the place that eventually it'll grow on you =P haha.
Milan Fashion Week: Marni, Fendi
I like Marni's collections, they're always so fun and sophisticated. There is so much going on in each of the looks - color, shapes and lots of textures yet it looks very clean and pulled toghether. And as always at Marni, the accossoires are to die for...<3!
Fendi presented a very modern, urban and as always a very luxurious collection. There was lots of leather and absolutely love how they mixed it with the other fabrics like velver and fur. I loved the shoes, the glitzy deatils and the corset details.
Milan Fashion Week: D&G, Gucci
Although this is D&G and I never like D&G's tacky-ness I feel myself strangely drawn to this very theatrical, almost costume-y collection. Yes, there were quite a few looks which I totally hated but I couldn't stop myself from liking these cute "sofa"-skirts and dresses and the beautiful tulle pieces. If this had been done in a more tasteful and toned down version I would've loved it even more. But this is D&G after all so I just look at it as a very fun collection ^o^
All in all way too much glitter in this collection but there were a few very nice looks. But I'm not a fan of Gucci anyway so I didn't exactly have high expectations.
Milan Fashion Week: Burberry Prorsum
I know I say this every season but Christopher Bailey never disappoints me! The fall 09 collection was very toned down and natural with lots of basic and really timeless pieces.
The romantic and classic looks were toughened up with chunky lace up boots, spiked chain bracelets and the classic trenches were cut to look a tad bit slouchy for a masculine touch. Easily my favorite collection this season =)
Milan Fashion Week: Missioni
I love the styling of this collection, so messy and yet very well put together. I especially like the bits of shiny jewelry peeking out between the layers. It is refreshing to see such a light color palette in a fall/winter collection. Just what I needed after what seemed like endless all-black collections.
New York Fashion Week: Max Azria, Michael Kors, Derek Lam
Although I think black is a bit overly present in the fall collection I couldn't help but love the subtle sexyness in the Max Azria collection. My favorite were the long flowy dresses that made the girls look like dark gloomy goddesses.
Michael Kors presented a very sleek and elegant collection which I would loooove to wear to work. So many great tailored pieces. I epecially love the grey suit...the short sleeves, the layers on the skirt - love it!
This collection looked very chic and very New York to me. I loved the styling and just how amazing is that blazer+dress outfit on the left?! <3
New York Fashion Week: Erin Fetherston, Rodarte
Nothing outstanding but incredibly cute and doll-esque. I love almost everything in the collection and some of the pieces got my imagination racing taking me into fairytale land =D. I also saw a little Alice in Wonderland in this...<3
I'm gonna have to jump on the I love Rodarte bandwagon because what the Mulleavy sisters presented for Fall 09 was another outstanding collection.The beautifully crafted dresses looked liked abstract paintings constructed upon the bodies of the models. I can't wait to see these beautiful art pieces in editorials!
New York Fashion Week: Elise Øverland, Preen, Alexander Wang, Ruffian
I love the designer's take on metallics. I'm usually not one to be drawn to metallics but on these fabulous leather pants and jackets it actually looks really nice. And then there are these sexy rock n'roll party dresses which I loved too.
Alexander Wang's collection was probably one of the most anticipated shows in New York, especially in the blogsphere. I have to say I wasn't too impressed with what Mr. Wang presented. True, all the trends from last season were continued and there were some really nice individual pieces but overall I just didn't like the collection, the biker shorts, the cut off leggings and lots of ill fitting tops and jackets (yes, they were oversized but not in a nice looking way) didn't really do it for me.
As a sucker for everything girly, ruffly and romantic I absolutely adore this collection. So many nice individual pieces and gorgeously styled outfits.
I thought that somehow the collection looked like it was designed with Blair Waldorf in mind, I kept on picturing her in each of the looks =P The whole collection what very sophisticated and chic, I only disliked the few leopard looks but that's just due to my dislike of leopard print in general.
New York Fashion Week: Christian Cota, Shirley & Hamos, Yigal Azrouel
I especially love the top left look here, dark and wonderfully draped with a wonderful mix of fabrics <3! The whole collection had a very dark theme which I always love in a Fall/Winter collection. There were some kick ass tomboy looks as well as lots of beautifully constructed body hugging dresses. Loved every bit!
Very elegant and beautiful collection. I also really like the jewelry.
New York Fashion Week: Day 1 (Rachel Roy, Monique Lhuillier)
Very strong collection with beautiful cut pieces and a lovely muted color palette. I really like the sheer fabrics and the corset details. There were also some misses in this collection like the heavy looking very shiny silk dresses.
Beautifully detailed gowns, ballet inspired dresses and sheer fabrics - very unexpected from Monique Lhuillier. I always love feminine and romantic designs so this collection was very much to my liking. The detailing is wonderful and I love the shredded sheer shirts and tights worn underneath, this adds an edge and very subtle tough-ness to the otherwise so delicate look.
