RESORT '11: Alexander Wang

The thing i always look forward to when it comes to Alexander Wang is the minimalism. I'd always find black and white the most perfect color combination, and this collection is amazing! I honestly think i will buy and wear everything, just because he was also able to connect to every different type of girl. Its amazing what he do at such a young age.

Latex, leather, knitwear, sheer and drapings caught my eye in this collection. Its so awesome that he mixes new york preppy girl with downtown street chic, but even so, girls with different styles will always find something they like. Sock in shoe trend is also obviously in this season for Alexander Wang, and the hair is a classic! Check out the entire collection here.

FALL '10 Fashion Week: Louis Vuitton

Metallics

Outerwear

Plaids

Florals

Red Carpet

To sum it all up, this season's Louis Vuitton was 50s with a twist. That rich and beautiful woman walking along the streets with class and elegance, wearing beautifully made clothes. Most of the looks this season was very vintage, but Marc Jacobs had twisted it in a certain way which still brings us to the future. Skirts were 3/4 length but made from leather, or the blazer would have a little padding, with a bold metallic color splashed on it. Not to mention detailing was very important this season, as Marc Jacobs had zoomed in on the shoes and bags, and was not afraid to show the goods.

The set was beautiful, with a huge fountain in the middle and models walking around it. Supermodels such as Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, Rosie Huntington, and Jessica Stam were all present and walking down elegantly in Louis Vuitton. Marc Jacob had said that this season was a no-brainer. It was just a celebration of original women.

FALL '10 Chanel Purses

Ice cubes, Ice bergs and snow are the elements for Chanel's accessories this season. Ice Jewelry conspired to create intensely worked ruffled and beaded silhouettes that glinted with rock-crystal neckpieces and fistful of rings. Somewhere in there, a flash of translucent silver seemed to be a clutch in which the quilting of the CC classic bag had been frozen into the likeness of a refrigerator ice cube tray.

The unique thing about this season's accessories are also that ice boxed purses are invented. I have never seen anyone used a cube as a purse before, let alone carrying a box around. The classic CC purse has also been frozen and made into a cute little icy purse, which I would expect a lot of fake ones really soon.

FALL '10 Fashion Week: Chanel

outerwear

suits

embellishments

This season, Chanel had incorporated its classic vintage chanel, with 60's retro and today's ridiculously cold weather. The set itself had giant chunks of bona fide icebergs, specially transported from Scandinavia, forming a frozen landscape around which the models would splash through a sea of 'berg-melt in shaggy snow boots with ice-blocked heels.

White and Black colors are usually the norm for Chanel, but this time red, blue and khaki tones are being used to create a (sort of) ancient mongolians, and a hint of retro shown in the entire look itself. Leather and Fur seems to be a great match as well this season in Chanel, so are the modern meets tribal accessories. The twist is that these fur are actually fake, in which Karl Lagerfeld explained that it was woven into brown tweeds. Some might even say that Lagerfeld had put in a lot more than he did on Fendi, which is extravagant.

P.S don't you just feel the chills while looking at these clothes?

FALL '10 Alexander McQueen

Before he took his life, Alexander McQueen did an amazing job in his last collection for Fall. It had imagination and technical wizardry, and it reminded me of Star Wars meets the olden days british empire. Each piece was made of couture satin, and paved with golden rococo swirls, the sleeves erupting into three-dimensional embroideries for the "avatar" age. This captured the span of his mind and the skill of his hands.

Alexander McQueen's designs have always been unique and creative, but not bizarre. His creations had a lot of digital graphic patterning, and amazing weaving and embroidery. Each look was worn with a bronzed cap, some spiked with a mohawk of gilded leaves. To me, I find every look was very angelic yet spooky in a certain way. The presentation started off with a haunting soundtrack of operatic music, and tears were welling in the eyes of the people in the audience.

Each piece is unique, as was he.

FALL '10 Fashion Week: Christian Dior

outerwear

jump suits

goth

lingerie

From all i have seen so far in fashion week fall '10, Christian Dior would be the ultimate show ever. John Galliano has been an inspiration for me, and his work of art is impeccable and unpredictable. This season for Christian Dior, he admits that his muse was Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean, but just the early part of the movie (whatever that meant). I felt that this season was more of the olden english days, when the only transportation were horses, and people wore boots and wizard ish hats.

This season, patent leather is definitely a big highlight of the show, as well as lace and a dash of pearls. As for accessories, Dior had been working on the vintage and classic pearl necklace, with a twist. Threads and feather features were added to create a hairier look, which would add that sense of edginess to the outfit. Over the knee boots were incorporated, and big leather coats were created.

FALL '10 Prada Shoes

Its all back to the 60s with Prada this season, and I was especially in awe with the shoe collection this fall, just because of its foxiness and vintage accents. These brogue shoes were originally created for men (of course without the heel) since the 1900s. This shoe has stayed on and converted itself for women, adding a heel on it. It then became extremely popular during the 10s and 20s, and came back this year.

Many have said that after watching this season's Prada fashion show, they felt like they had gotten a sense of the vintage foxy women, those who would "have a cigar for breakfast". Those filthy rich women, who just hangs out at the bar, with her own sense of class while holding on to a cigarette and a martini at the same time.

I have to agree that I do feel that aura when I saw the complete collection. This season the shoes are mostly worn with wooled tubed socks inside. This completes the fall/winter part accessories wise, but without the socks, I feel that these shoes can be worn for any occasion.

FALL '10 Fashion Week: Dolce and Gabbana

Lingerie in suits

Suits

Lace

Lingerie

Animal Prints

This season Dolce and Gabbana had made most of the people in the audience cry, as usual. The presentation of the entire show was magnificent, with a video behind showing Mr Dolce and Mr Gabbana working hard on the garments we would eventually see when they appear on the runway. The fact that these geniuses had carefully created their work of art was very touching, and emotional. I would say the best part about the show was the finish, when all 85 models would walk the runway once again, but in suits and lingerie.

This fall, Dolce and Gabbana brought the true and classic brand back, featuring mostly black, lace, and leopard. Sheer and a hint of graphic prints are also shown, and lingerie is definitely present. To be honest, I am really impressed with the suits, which looked like flannel, but they really are jersey. As I saw the ensemble of the suit with a shorter pant, it gave a taste of Italiano, so it seemed as if a girl were to take her boyfriend's pants and cut it off to make it chic and brand new. As for accessories, cute little sling pouches were created, which I felt was inspiring. Dolce and Gabbana has definitely brought back 1930s, and threw a dash of minimalism this season.

FALL '10 Fashion Week: Marc Jacobs

Suits

Outerwear

Sheer

Red carpet

Marc Jacobs has reinvented the 1930s era back to his line. This season i find that his garments are all very classy and clean. Upon opening the show, Marc Jacobs himself came on stage and revealed something that looked like a giant box, with 56 models inside. These models walked while "somewhere over the rainbow" played, and the audience received a sort of relaxed feel which was what Marc Jacobs himself was trying to convey to us with this collection. The feeling of coming home played a very important role in this collection, and it definitely brought us back to the simple times.

This collection focused more on suits and outerwear for the upcoming fall, and the fabric is exquisite. Most of the garments showed a sense of coziness and warmth, and were mostly soft and cool colors. The effect that the material made is incredible, and it shows a taste of classiness and vintage. As for the accessories, flats are a must this season. When paired with a certain shade of tube sock, it would create a subtle feel to the rest of the outfit. Also, shorter heeled shoes are reintroduced this season, which reminds me of the clogs that were a big hit in Chanel Spring '10.
