I usually like Narciso Rodriguez’s vision, but this season, perhaps not so much.

Neon and sparkly seem to be the key trend for F/W 2009/10. I am fine with the sparkles, because I do believe it could look great if executed correctly. What I am not so sure of is whether these eye-popping candy-like colours go so hand in hand with Mr. Rodriguez’s own aesthetics. Despite all efforts, all I see in my eyes is plumpness on the runway.

Seasonal Greeting love from Chloé 2009
I do not know whether I should feel lucky or not, as I am one of the ‘few’ people who have received an exclusive new year seasonal greeting with love from Chloé for 2009. There are two reasons for my hesitancy:

The season was spring/summer 2003. That was the season when I first discovered the magical fantastic world of Fashion and you know what? Cacharel was one of the first houses that I first loved. At least 5 whole years have passed and lots have occurred to my life as well as within the France-based fashion house with the change of appointment in creative director twice. Although Cacharel has been quite quiet recently, evident of this is that the collections have unfortunately not been featured on style.com since Spring/Summer 2003 (link), the house does not cease to produce things that I simply adore.

I had been looking forward to seeing the entire Jil Sander collection for awhile and now that I have seen this display of purely remarkable creation, I feel a little scared about writing about it, because it is simply amazing! If I don’t write enough, I do not focus enough on the collection; and if I write too much, I will kill the simplicity of an iconique Jil Sander Collection.
While any references are made in a minimal fashion, which in turn allows the ingenious Simons to exhibit his freedom to be inspired by the moment; the philosophy of the German fashion house to focus on elements of purity is no doubt present in this season’s collection as well.
I love the show, because it is very twisted in a peek-a-boo way! It really plays with the viewers of the clothes in that obscure manner. The hypersexual element is very minimal but when tuned to the right channel, it is very voluminous and so powerful, which makes it fit to be presented in the city that is no stranger to sex and not inferior to other collections presented there. The black stretch bodysuits with silken skeins of fringing drapping down accentuate every curve of a woman’s body perfectly and eroticise it to present a look that is simply understated in a sensual sexual way yet elegant and chic, see Polish Model Magdalena Frackowiak in her first outfit. In fact, the entire look is balanced ingeniously with an equal emphasis on the back of the various pieces. Some of which are opened up bare or draped with silken skeins of fringing – perhaps symbolising a sort of opening up as Simons brings us to venture with him into a brand new world that is incredibly streamlined and modern.

Another great show from Lanvin this season. I love this season’s volumes! Every season, Alber’s immaculate taste comes through the clothing he designs. No doubt the Balenciaga technorobo influence is present in his show, his take on it is to implement it on elements of richness originating from the house of Lanvin: rich fabrics with rich embellishments in a rich colour palette, which includes shades such as luxious green, passionate red and deep-sea blue. The tailoring once again is superb. I really would like to buy those high-waisted tailored pants, which accentuates Raquel’s already endless legs. Another great purchase for this season is no doubt those one-shoulder dresses, which makes anyone long for Lanvin!

So many wonderful pieces to die for in this collection. I love the bomber style fur coats, the colour pallete and just everything. It’s great! Thank you, Monsieur Theyskens!

Dear Mr. Rodriguez,
Ohhh… Narciso! I don’t care what people said. I love your show!!! I think it had elements that are very Narciso, like the way you play with the silhouette and the contrast of black and white all finished off in a very modern sleek yet elegant style; yet, it was also very experimental, because you went beyond what you did and I like that! I really loved Diana Farkhullina’s black and white starry dress. She looks simply divine.

I also love Toni Garrn’s criss cross top. I think it would be interesting to wear it to work, because it’s purely extraordinary.
