LANVIN F/W 2010

I don't suppose I can ever stop singing praises for Alber Elbaz and Lanvin - this season Elbaz churned up yet another collection of lovelies for me to drool over. To be honest, this wasn't my favorite collection by the designer (not every collection can be a gift from the gods!), but there was still a lot to be excited about. The color palette was really lovely in subdued greys and dim hues. The styling for the shows is always spot on - I'm so glad my long leather gloves I was wearing all winter will come in handy again this coming fall! I'm ranking the first dress as my favorite, but it isn't an easy decision to make. Sorry for the brief post, I have to get to the library and study study STUDY!

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN F/W 2010

Of course, as soon as Paris fashion week rolls around, I have a million and one things to blog about. Of course, Paris fashion week coincides with midterms... of course of course! I just happened to be stalking TFS and up comes Alexander McQueen's final collection - and how lovely it is! It's quite fair to say the man was an artistic genius, and I can only credit him as such here. The details of his clothes are nothing short of inspiring, and this last collection is absolutely gorgeous. He leaves no spot on a dress forgotten: every inch is meticulously detailed and planned. The embroidery on the first dress (and the sleeves) is absolutely amazing - I would love this as a wedding dress! I could go on and on, I'm sure, about this collection. McQueen was one of my favorite designers, and this final collection did not disappoint me (except, perhaps, in regard to size! I want more!). The fashion world's loss is truly immeasurable. RIP.
