Balmain Spring 2010 Collection

Balmain is offically the "it designer" of the momment. Personally, I never heard of him until his famous shoulder pad jackets were worn by Beyonce, Rihanna and even Michael Jackson last season. This season is hot hot hot including super sexy mini dresses, destressed t-shirts, cut off shorts liquid blouses, leather pants and the no brainer jackets with stunning shoulder detailing. I can see brands like Bebe, Guess and A/X making knock offs of every outfit. This is one of my favorite collections this season, I was almost tempted to post pictures of all 38 looks. I encourage you to visit style.com to view the entiere collection.

 

 

 

Diane von Furstenberg Spring 2010 Runway Collection

As you know from previous post that I love Diane von Furtstenberg and appreciate her for always having the most beautiful and diverse models on the runway. DvF spring 2010 collection is very bohemian with loose, flowing dresses and of course prints, print, prints! This season it all about animals, with tiger print safari suits, leapord spotted shirt dresses and floral goddess headpieces. View the entire collection at style.com

Alexander McQueen Spring 2010 Shoes

Alexander McQueen literally created a new silhouette of shoes for his spring 2010. As interesting as it is, will anyone really where it? Honestly I wasn't in love when I watched the show live online but it must just me because this collection had great reviews.View the complete collection at style.com

 

 

 

 

Chanel Clogs For Spring 2010

This is a perfect example of when bad things happen to good people. Is Karl Lagerfield taking advantage of his customer, knowing they would buy anything he approves? What other explanation could their be for such a horrendous shoe crime? Clogs, really? Yes i will admit my mother did buy me a pair from Payless back in 90something and I wore the proudly. But now I know better. Will you allow clogs to make a comeback in spring 2010?

And here are a few other renditions of the horrible clogs by the likes of DVF, Piperlime, Crocs and more in stores now

Backstage Pics @ Ashish Spring 2010 Runway

I've never heard of the UK clothing line Ashish until this morning, looking at backstage pictures. There have been many runway shows that I though was not for me, weird or too couture but I've never flat out said "I don't like a collection" until now. Haven't we seen this look from the young 80's wannabees walking around Soho, NY last spring. These oversized t-shirts and tanks are not flattering on anybody even if they are sequence. And when will the large printed, cheesey fraze shirts die.

Ralph Lauren Spring 2010 Collection

Ralph Lauren tells an interesting story with his spring 2010 runway collection. Focused on the depression era, Ralph gets very detailed dressing the models in newsboy hats, vest, distressed boyfriend jeans, floral frocks and mens suits. Towards the end of the collection he gets a little glitzy in blue flowy dresses and gowns. "I believe in the resilient spirit of America. Hard times seem to sharpen our capacity for idealism and our optimism that tomorrow will be a better day. I am inspired by the character of the worker, the farmer, the cowboy, the pioneer women...I have always admired the honesty of their work wear..." Ralph definitely nails this collection!

Norma Kamali Spring 2010 for Ebay + Walmart

Norma Kamali unveiled her spring 2010 collections for eBay + Walmart at the Apple store in Soho, NY. Norma Kamali for Walmart previous season has been a such a hit that it is sells on eBay for more than twice the original price. After months of research she decided to sell a small vintage collection straight to eBay. In her signature red, white, grey, black and stripe there were jersey dresses, roughing, and her classic sleeping bag coat.
