Ever since I've loved fashion I've loved Marc Jacobs. He has a way with clothing that no other designer has. He could make two bottle caps and tooth floss become the next big thing since skinny jeans. And I love him dearly for that. But why do I feel so empty after watching his 2011 Spring/Summer collection? I just didn't feel Marc in the collection, I personally do not believe he was in his zone while designing, maybe he had something on his mind, I don't know, but I'd never think I would see the day when I was... disappointed with a Marc Jacobs collection.
His big theme of the evening was retro, ruffles, and prints, and he nailed it. He managed to pull off a combination color pallet of bright vivid colors and soft girlish colors. He even threw in a few metallics. I was beyond obsessed with metallics last season, but I'm not so sure about this season, though he manged to make it work with the rest of his collection. Here are my favorite looks from the runway.
They are quite stunning, but now I'm worried about the Louis Vuitton show come this Paris Fashion Week.
Stay stylish everyone and enjoy the last days of Fashion Week.
Fashion is perfection in the form of Jason Wu this season. Just like Wu's last spring collection, this collection was dangerous. He didn't play it safe, and for that his collection was perfection. This season was a bit extra special for Wu because it was the first collection that featured his labeled accessories including shoes, bags, and optical gear.
Wu opened with a lovely transparent bow-topped shirt, tucked into light gray high-waisted pants. The opening really set the tone of the collection as the main colors of his garments were white, black, camel, with hints of blue, yellow and pink.
I know there are 16 looks there but I truly enjoyed his show and had trouble narrowing it down to just my normal 8. Wu ended the show with two very stunning gowns. One blue (Fourth column first picture) that featured a transparent top and a stunning ruffled neck. And a pretty-in-pink satin gown that was extremely fitting and made the model look flawless.
All-in-all this is one of my all time favorite collections.
Everybody who is anybody knows the face of the youngest person ever to win Lifetime's hit show, Project Runway. His thick framed glasses and edgy haircut made Christian Siriano unforgettable. Siriano was one of the first to show during Fashion Week this season, and once again did fashion justice with a one-of-a-kind collection.
Christian set the tone with a very neutral fitted leather jacket and straight-legged white pants that fit the model perfectly. The collection was filled with a lot of white, camel, and neutral colors, with some colorful prints. In a Style.com interview Siriano said that his clothes were, "A bit of African, a bit of Asian, a bit of Mediterranean-Greek." So all-in-all he showed us a collage of all different types of cultures. Here were my favorite looks of his collection.
These eight looks were my favorite out of his forty. And I hate to say this but I expected more out of Christian, his older work is more artistic is more Christian, I don't know about you guys but whenever I see this collection I see a lot of Oscar De La Renta inspired work. No? Well, maybe it's just me. But don't fret, there is more. The show stopper for me was his last two garments.
These two garments above are what Christian is all about. Those were the only two that actually made me gasp for air. I love how delicately he placed the feathers to really bulk the dress. For me, I truly hope to see a starlet wear one of those dresses on the red-carpet very soon!
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.
