Alexis Mabille’s Spring/Summer Haute Couture show 2010 is certainly something that I did not expect to see at first glance. No frills. No pretty bows. No lace. The show opened with Belarusian model Olga Sherer dressed in the French designer’s bi-colour pant suit look. As oppose to what the Lyon-born designer had been doing famously, this is certainly something new and fresh.

Paint the Town A Dazzling Shade of Black in Viktor & Rolf’s Stunning Little Black Dress

Just as you think you have had enough of the little black dress, here comes another one – making its way gracefully as the cool new kid on the block in my favourite list. In many ways, this little number (EUR 785,00) by Dutch designer duo Viktor and Rolf is beyond special. Naturally, the first thing that caught our eye is the razzle-dazzling diamante element. However, the exquisite material (100% China Silk), its stunning slightly squared-off shape (around the hips) as well as its fantastic front pockets design are not to be left unsaid. Wearable may not a word directly linked to the avant-garde Designers at all times, but this simply ingenious piece certainly shows the world something different! Just stunning!

Viktor and Rolf’s short silk dress with front pockets is available at The Corner.

I simply cannot believe I did not see Viktor & Rolf’s Resort 2010 collection earlier. I mean everything in the collection is so phenomenally beautiful that I really hope each and every piece of the collection could and would make its way to the stores. Unquestionably, it ought to!

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!

I wanted it to look loose and casual-fitting, so she can wear things with the attitude of pulling on a T-shirt” was the justification of Alexis Mabille’s show directly from the lips of the designer himself. With such a strong statement, it is no doubt that the fantastic fall collection by the ingenious young couturier is to die for beyond anyone’s imagination.
