Chloé Fall/Winter Ready-to-wear 2010/11 Paris

Chloé Spring Summer Ready to wear 2010 Collection Paris

Perhaps it’s the golden rays she sends out each season at Chloé, I’m actually warming up to Hannah MacGibbon – Creative Director of the French Luxury Fashion House. Well… It’s not the most avant-garde show I have ever seen, but nonetheless, it’s delightful and it’s desirable! With this winning combination, I am confident that Chloé’s financial matters will be enjoying quite a pleasant ride in the forthcoming fall.

Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy

Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy

Although between Robert and I, we could make a million cheeky jokes about Givenchy’s new fragrance ad campaign for Eaudemoiselle (starting with whether the perfume should be named “eaudepond” or in the park “avec la cape de vampire”?); we know that seriously speaking: we love this daunting and haunting photograph of Polish model Magdalena Frackowiak by Liz Collins (and that above all, we secretly want Magda to bite us intensely and passionately!). The campaign perfectly portrays Givenchy’s dark yet romantic style, while exemplifying the French House’s core aristocratic values as well as its couture spirit as founded by couturier Hubert de Givenchy. Rose is accordingly the chief composition of Eaudemoiselle to create the imagery of “flower bathed in morning dew”.

Get ready! Eaudemoiselle is set to release in the first half of 2010.

Since I like my clothes sharp and strong, I was expecting and kind of really wanted to see the remarkable return of technorobo for Balenciaga this season. Well… This only made it all the more unpredictable and beyond amazing to see designer Nicolas Ghesquière turning the wheels once again and redefining the refined Parisian label for Spring/Summer 2010. Well… Afterall, we are entering another new decade [1]. This pleasant collection surely accompanies us through the times and pushes us forward to be ready for the imminent future, that is bright and full of energy and enlightened optimism.

It was so nice to see Chloé’s Spring/Summer 2010 show. First of all, Freja, the first face at the show (Yay!), looked so super womanly with her long hair. Secondly, there is only 29 looks! Really, anywhere between 25-35 is the ideal number of looks to present in a show for me. 40 looks and above is dangerous, because it could really be mindbogging and loses the effect. Win a go, Hannah!

There is no surprise when the Estonian top model Carmen Kass opened the Michael Kors Spring/Summer 2010 show along with her good looking male entourage Noah Mills. As for every show by the celebrity-embraced fashion designer, this one exhibits his signature upbeat and optimistic attitude towards fashion and life.

Alexander Wang Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010

Honestly, when Alexander Wang, the 25-year-old designer, first became officially established, I never really felt that he was up for the title. Due to his youthful appearance, I always felt that he might not be a serious designer; but I was so wrong. He is just truly talented. What a visionary? The real turning point for me was when I watched one of his interviews at saksfifthavenue.com, which really demonstrated his true passion for the clothes he creates and that really made me believe in him. I appreciate his work even more now that I know more about his aesthetics and I fully understand why Freja is all “Ja! Ja!” for his clothes.

Narciso Rodriguez Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010

The two things that make each Narciso Rodriguez collection beyond special for me are: the manner Mr. Rodriguez intertwines a unique architectural structure into each piece of his designs as well as the details and attention he put into the entire piece of clothing - from top to bottom and front to back – before presenting it on the runway and in stores. This certainly makes his minimal designs anything but ordinary – a true gift to today’s strong and powerful women, who not only is smart, but also dresses accordingly. Wink wink, Mrs. Obama!
