just looked at the burberry collection as a whole, and thought that this look could've been edited out, the colour and styling doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the show. the colour, when compared to the beautiful plum and aubergine and that sunflower yellow and military green, just doesn't fit, its, in my opinion, to graphic and cold, the rest of his colour pallete has warmth, this doesn't. to me, just a small glitch in what is an amazing collection.
stunning, so subversive and rich, librarian chic with a kinky twist. i love the full-skirt shape, the ruffled busts, the hair, the flash of flesh under the bust in the last few dresses, the cable tights, the unusual mix of knit + pvc. the glasses make me die... amazing. this show was made for lara
lots of surpirses today at the prada fall 2010 show in milan, ms. miuccia cast victoria's secrets staples alessandra ambrosio + miranda kerr, what! these girls are sex on legs, so it was quite a shock to see them all done up and covered up in pradas homage to prada. some other unexpected prada girls were, abbey lee, mariacarla, natasha poly, doutzen kroes + maryna linchuk. i was also extremely happy to see catherine mcneil make her runway comeback, and what a show to do it in.
christopher bailey is really moving fashion forward with his fall 2010 collection for burberry. and when i say moving fashion forward, i don't mean the clothes, but the way we see and purhcase them. the show, which was amazing, was streamed live on the burberry website, beamed, in 3-D, to new york, l.a., tokyo and dubai, for invited guests who couldn't make it to london for the show. but the most exciting advancement, as the clothes came down the runway, you were able to pre-order the brilliant outer-wear and accessories, to be delivered within 6-8 weeks. now this... is amazing, this cuts turn around by over half, in fashion terms, this is almost instant, no 6 month wait for the collection to hit the store floor, as when you pre-order the clothes are delivered to your door. mr. bailey has definitely thrown down the gauntlet, your move rest of the fashion industry...
kate + laura mulleavy showed their fall 2010 collection for rodarte in new york on the 16th of february. the show, which was quite a departure for rodarte, was light and airy and quite pretty, which, for the last couple of seasons, is a word you wouldn't have necessarily used to describe rodarte. although, like last season, their inspiration was quite dark, the resulting clothes, like always, were beautiful. patchwork draped floral dresses, were naive and pretty, but in a way that was grown-up and mature. 'big hug of a' wrap cardigans were luxe and cosy, rendered in patchwork check and suede. wool-fringed skirts added interest to little knit sleeveless sweaters with a scallop edge. each look was paired with nicolas kirkwood 'candle-stick' shoes, worn with sock or sheer embroidered leggings. the final passage of white dresses were like a dream, heavenly draped, some with feather adorned sleeves, others were dripping with strings of pearls and girlish lace. another whimiscal and complex and undeniably beautiful show from rodarte
