Wearing: H&M black fedora, H&M denim button down blouse, cream tank, latex leggings (I think Simons in Montreal), vintage sneakers (Montreal), arm full of bangles, gold ring w/ bow, flower cocktail ring, gold cross dangle earrings, over the shoulder small fringe bag (accessories collected on my travels from totally random boutiques/kiosks)
...and upon checking out at the grocery store I stumbled upon Harper's Bazaar Fall/Winter 2010 "Runway Report", so I threw it in my basket. I flipped through it later this evening, I'd watched some of the runway shows in class this week and with the conclusion of fashion month approaching I was inspired to do my own mini-first-anlysis runway report (more detailed blogs on fashion month to come). And so my favorite collections this season are probably; New York FW: Alexander Wang (although I was really not a fan of the hair in the show, at all), Boy by Band of Outsiders, Dennis Basso, DKNY, Diane Von Furstenburg, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Proenza Schouler, Rag & Bone, Rodarte, Richard Chai Love & Zac Pozen. I'm love love loving the use of furs this year, the layering and structured tailoring with jackets are a favorite of mine as well.
London FW: Christopher Kane, Louise Goldin, Peter Pilotto, Pringle of Scotland Milan FW: Blumarine, Brioni (especially the jackets in this one), D&G, Dolce & Gabbana, Emilio Pucci, Fendi, Iceberg, Jil Sander, No.21, Roberto Cavalli, Versace. In both London and Milan FW I was especially drawn to the tailoring of the shorter cocktail dresses and I'm always partial to fabulous knits. Paris FW: Alexander McQueen (r.i.p I may go into more detail on this one in a later post), Balenciaga, Balmain, Chanel, Dior, Giambattista Valli, Givenchy, Hermes, John Galliano, Lanvin, Rick Owens & Yves Saint Laurent. Again like NYFW I was attracted to the use of fur and structured tailoring especially with the dresses and jackets, which is looking quite popular on the runways this season...
I still have to analyze the collections a lot more closely but upon my first look my impression of the collections this season was generally a good one. Most of the collections were nothing but fabulous, but the above mentioned were the ones I think really stood out.
I'd kill for the pants in the image on the left from the Proenza Schouler Fall 2010 collection
I have a mid-term exam this Tuesday for my business entrepreneurship course so the next two days will be a cram study sesh and hoping I don't have homework in fashion elements, retail buying or fashion styling... because I'm entirely business entrepreneurship focused the next three days. wish me luck?
And on a final note excuse the awful MacBook photo quality in my daily outfit posts, I have yet to purchase another good quality camera (r.i.p old Nikon) heh
