Christian DiorI thought this was a pretty strange collection, coming from Dior. I do see the tribal elements, so at least he followed through on his vision, but it's still not sitting quite right with me... hmm.
Dries Van Noten I love this outfit. In fact, it just gave me an idea for a vest I'm making. Woo hoo!
A perfect skirt for any occasion, day and night... the sequins save it from being another boring pencil skirt, while adding texture.
GivenchyOh, yes. Oh, yes. (hahaha)
"Western bondage," indeed.
Tischi, I could kiss you. But that would probably result in a stint in a holding cell and a restraining order...
Hussein Chalayan Windshield wiper heels.
Hair like you stuck your head out of the window at Indy 500.
Maison Martin MargielaI won't lie. I don't get it.
Is he saying it's all about presentation?
Viktor & Rolf Looooooooooooooooooooooooove.
Vivienne Westwood Yves Saint Laurent YSL has turned out to be one of my favorites, but that's not too surprising.
Alberta Ferretti These pants are awesome! I hope this sort of open-weaving (for lack of a better word right now... I'm not sure how this look is achieved) makes its way down to Topshop, at least. To steal a phrase from Paris Hilton *shudder*, this look is hot. I love that it's covered up, but showing skin at the same time. Ladies, paradoxes are your friends. Alessandro dell'Acqua
Mmm, 3D collage.
Here's that "open weave" again!! This needs to be a trend, ASAP.
Derercuny
Sweet and ladylike, in a futuristic fabric. Like George Jetson's wife... what the hell is her name?
Etro This is the best pajama set I've seen so far. Yes, it looks just like a pair of pajamas, but the color palette makes it extremely wearable. I would still break this outfit up and wear the pieces separately, but since the colorway doesn't scream, "ready for bed," you might be able to get away with wearing this all at once.
Fendi This is literally the only thing I liked at Fendi. I hated the models' feather-duster-gone-crazy hair, the not-exactly-t-strap shoes... Major frown.
Gianfranco Ferre *sigh* Gianfranco Ferre, take me away. Oh, maybe I should put that on a House of Holland-style shirt!
Gucci
This is my second favorite Milan collection, after Gianfranco Ferre, of course. I just looooooooooove the 70's pimp look. Pimps, on the other hand, I'm not too big a fan of.
This looks like something Lupin the 3rd would wear... if he were a girl?? (P.S. If you don't know Lupin, get to know him! One of the best cartoons I've ever watched -- and I've seen plenty.)
I could probably die happy if I ever got to own one of these suits. And I'd probably wear it every day.
Iceberg
I really like this dress, but it just reminds me of Christopher Kane/Alexander Wang/etc. There's something very familiar about this dress... I don't think that once a new design or style has been done that it shouldn't ever be made again -- obviously, Wang is influenced by the 90's, and I definitely remember dresses like this from that time -- but I guess if you're going to rehash something, make it special. The more we see it, the more impact it has to have. You know what I mean?
Missoni Ugh, I so regret not buying something from Missoni while I was in Rome. :(
Klimt, is that you? Moschino Updated Breakfast at Tiffany's, eh?
Sarcasm alert: So I'm thinking ruffles will be in next spring? (see below and above)
Moschino Cheap and Chic Reminds me of the surface of the moon.
Pollini Roberto Cavalli I usually really, really, really dislike Roberto Cavalli, but these gowns are quite nice.
Salvatore Ferragamo I am so wearing this outfit next spring/summer.
This outfit would be perfect in any color. Love it!
My mouse BROKE. :( Unfortunately, that means no Fashion Week collages till this weekend, at the earliest. I would do them anyway, but it's damn near impossible to use the lasso tool with a touchpad.
To tide you over, here are three outfits I made on Polyvore.
I actually wore the first and third ones, but I would loooooooooooove to wear the second outfit. I've been looking for some super-bright loafers. Anyone know where to find red ones? I saw blue ones at Old Navy, but there weren't any left in my size.
Oh God, I want this coat.
Doesn't the designer look awesome?
