Haider Ackermann: Great show, definitely in my top few contenders. Here are my two favorite looks from the show, but definitely check the show out. I loved the richness of the fabric in both color and texture, the shine, the collars and deep Vs, the over-ruched wide gloves, and the contrast the belts brought (big, [...]

Just a quick one here of YSL. Fashion blasphemy though it may be, YSL is sometimes hit-or-miss, piece-by-piece for me. This was one of those shows, although they did have a few pieces which I really liked. Kasia Struss. I love, love, love this silhouette. I’ve designed many looks with it myself – the long, [...]

Collette Dinnigan. I liked it overall, although a few of the pieces were a little severe or awkwardly cut (I thought). Alicia Kuczman AJ Strutman. I like the cut of the neck and the silhouette of this look, but not really the tier effect on the skirt. Emilia Nawarecka. This look I primarily like because [...]

Lanvin. I quite liked it; one of my favorite shows so far. Liu Wen Milou van Groesen. I didn’t post this one so much for the dress, which I think would look better without the belt, but because Milou looks so awesome here. I hope to see her go places. Melissa Tammerjin. Not a fan [...]

Just a few looks from Prada… Fei Fei Sun. I love how rich and luxe this look is, from the fur to the deep chocolately brown of the coat – almost reddish – and the desert beige boot. Mmm. Daphe Groeneveld. Siri Tollerad. Not okay: Anabela Belikova. This is an explosion of eurghh. And shiny [...]

This Prada boot. Mmm. It’s definitely unique and fun. I like the shape of the heel. And the colors. ~ r

Fendi, one of my perennial favorites. I thought of Europe, of Jane Austen, and of Van Gogh – don’t ask me why. The palette was subdued but rich, definitely saturated. What I didn’t like was how a lot of the looks weren’t very streamlined: bulky coats paired with a wider straight leg, worn with a [...]

Just a quick look at Gucci. Very 70s-inspired, which I like, though a few proportions have been played with, which is fine. Lots of eye-poppingly bright colors mixed in with more traditional neutral hues, furs and such. Tayane Leao Melo Jacquelyn Jablonski Charlotte di Calypso Natasha Poly. I like the top half of this like; [...]

Just one look from Paul Smith FW2011, worn by Charlotte Wiggins: ~ r

Another of my favorite looks from Fall 2011: Burberry, of course, worn by Cara Delevingne. The military look has now shown up in some form or another in many of the past few seasons (kicked off, of course, by Balmain’s band jackets), and despite whatever the fashion critics du jour say, I think the general [...]
