Italian designers are heating things up on the Milan runways with their Spring/Summer 2011 collections.
After countless seasons of basic black, this week’s fashion celebration is coming alive with both bright refreshing pallets and bold prints.
Incorporating cheerful shades of orange, violet, green and royal blue, Italian designers are pulling inspiration from exotic island getaways and capitalizing on the summer vacation spirit.
The message was simple—carefree couture. [Read more...]

When your clients include the ultra-outrageous Lady Gaga and Brooklyn-based MGMT, normal is just not in your vocabulary.
It’s true, the purpose of a runway presentation is first and foremost to draw attention to your collection, well French-born Charlie Le Mindu did just that.
Le Mindu stayed true to his outlandish reputation, shocking guests at his London show earlier this week by sending his models down the catwalk adorned in Noritaka Tatehana pink platforms, his one-of-a-kind headpieces and nothing else. [Read more...]

Fall 2009 RTW and Couture collections have been presented, and a bit of analysis is in order.
Overall, looks are stronger and more dramatic. Puff sleeves and stronger shoulders with cinched waists, invoking the 1950′s and 1980′s; however, this influence is presented in a more modern and softer way. Come Fall, there will be bolero jackets and some boxier cut jackets and coats showing up on the racks. For the most part, hem lines were shown high (or non existent as the pantless look continues). Draping was used, most interestingly, in shorter dresses and less like the grecian goddess draping of the past. You’ll see a mix of modern with revived and revised classics. We’ve seen embellishment, luxurious fabrics, mixed with torn and deconstructed or unconventional and casual. Old-fashioned lingerie, hats, and gloves are reinterpreted and mixed into outfits. Much of what is presented here can be added to a basic wardrobe easily. There are plenty of opportunities to thrift, buy vintage, and DIY. Below are my picks for Fall/Winter ’09 trends.

Dior kicked off the couture shows in Paris today. Recession be damned. According to Fashion Week Daily, the turn out exceeded expectations, although Ms. Wintour was noticeably absent. When I first saw some of these pictures, which were tweeted directly from the show, I said “Whoa! 80′s color inspiration mixed with 50′s, Mr. Galliano?” What do you think? I see the pantless/skirtless trend continues, as well. Mr. Zee tweeted that the finale dress required two ushers, but I have yet to see a photograph. Wouldn’t it be fabulous if quality photographs were tweeted or posted as the show is in process? More photos after the jump. [Read more...]
