Some of you may not have known, but Oscar de la Renta first started his fashion career by working for the late Cristobal Balenciaga, and this season was all Balenciaga with a modern De La Renta twist.
This collection De la Renta featured voluptuous sheath dresses, frothing blouses and of course pencil skirts. De la Renta chose an interesting color pallet with just about every color under the sun, from the girliest shade of pink, to navy, to the daring black. This collection was one of my favorites to show out of New York this season. Here are my picks from the runway.
One stunning piece after another, but what would be an Oscar de la Renta show without a beautiful, one-of-a-kind wedding dress to complete the collection. The bride that wears this will be one lucky bride indeed.
If I died right now I would be happy knowing I got to see this collection before I did.
In other news, London Fashion Week started today. I don't think I'll be posting many reviews this week except for the Burberry show.
That's right everyone it has once again approached - the January in fashion, the new year - It's September, which means fashion week. Starting tomorrow we have nine days of none stop shows. Clothes! oh the clothes! There is only one slight problem. This year I am in college and have no time for anything other than my college work so hopefully I'll have plenty of time to review shows. For New York's fashion week I'm most excited for Vera Wang and Donna Karan. As for London I'm only looking forward to Burberry. Now Paris and Milan are different stories, I will most likely review every show during their fashion weeks. Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Valentino, Prada, Lanvin, the list goes on and on... I think I'm in love, with clothes that is.
I thought I would take the time to go back in time and look at my favorite looks from the 2009-2010 Sping/Summer Fashion season.

Don't ask me why I chose nine looks, nine just sounded good at the time, but god those are such stunning ensombles. But what kind of fashion blog would this be if I didn't post some beautiful, gorgeous, stunning, magnificant shoes? Who could ever forget the show stopper at the Alexander McQueen show? The Armadillo Stiletto. They send shivers down my spine.
Those shoes are beyond amazing, there are no words for shoes like those. I would give my first born child just to try a pair on. They are breath taking.
Also I thought since we are approaching the Fall Season I would dig up an one of my all time favorite fall collections. Ever. This is John Galliano's 2009 Fall/Winter show. It's only the first part, but it's still a wonderful show.
