Lily Donaldson is the Face of Joop!
I know Lily’s fans are just going to hate me, but I have to say it: I hate it! I hate it! I just hate it! This season’s faces (Lily Donaldson and Sean O’pry) with all their respective mega status and perfect looks just turn me off. There is nothing I hate more than looking at over-the-top beautiful people. Thank god, they only have 4 images in the lookbook – all of the rest are glorious runway images. Juhu!

Luisa Kamshilina, Vlada Roslyakova and Nimue Smit in Miu Miu
What a dark solemn-yet-romantic display at Miu Miu this season? It looked like every girl who stepped out onto the showroom floor had an unspeakable sorrow hidden beneath her bleak lifeless eyes, which betrayed her identity as an absolutely impeccably refined woman. We gain an insight into her life and intimate wardrobe through Miuccia Prada’s flawless visionary for Miu Miu.

Versaces Vision to the Future
The people, who view Ms. Versace as merely a typical blonde, is utterly underestimating the power of blondness, as she once again exhibits a praise-worthy collection that silently screams out: “Is there anything Donatella cannot do?”

Michael Kors, the American designer, whose part time occupation as judge on the American hit reality TV Show “Project Runway” has boosted his status globally and consequently earned him a title amongst the idolised gang of superstars on the silver screen. Whilst all things concerning popularity may appear truly dazzling for Mr. Kors, I am not completely sure if his fall/winter 2009/10 collection, shown February 18 this year, was a fair portrayal of his work, which exhibits his eligibility as a role model for young aspiring designers.

In terms of design and construction, the show undeniably crossed path with the hottest European brand names of the moment and to a far extent, it almost seemed like the looks were shipped exactly as they were directly to New York for this special occasion.

Ever since Mr. Ford left, I have mixed feelings for Gucci – the Italian luxury house currently under the reign of the creative designer Frida Giannini. When I say mixed feelings, I really mean it. There is something I love about it and something against it. It operates precisely at a 1:1 ratio and that is where the trouble begins, because neither side wins nor loses. Frankly speaking, Gucci is really something a part of me. It is an intimate subject matter and the fact that I cannot decide whether Gucci is still a friend or foe makes me utterly mental. This season, the emergence of such an uneasy feeling is no exception.

Although this fall show for Christian Dior’s Haute Couture Collection showcased only in July 2006, it already seems like a century ago in today’s hyper fast paced world of fashion. Despite that, because this video had been running on a loop on my real player this whole week, I feel like I have something to say about it and so here it goes. The show was simply spectacular! It had the glamorous and extravagant elements of a typical collection by designer John Galliano, but of course, pushed to the limit and showcased in max power that only makes us dream and dare for more.
This opening segment is undoubtedly my favorite for its fantastic elements to transform and bring the audience to the surreal exclusive world of Mr. Galliano’s pure magical creation. The first look that appeared on the runway was a black hourglass dress heavily bejewelled with metallic armour of the same colour worn by Swiss model Nadine Strittmatter along to a soundtrack that assists to create an eerie supernatural environment. As each note is sounded, this uncanny feeling is intensified. As a succession of models who almost seemed like cold-blooded guards with their hyperglamorous headdress and armour past by, one cannot help but notice each movement the girls make in this body-hugging dress and how the hips sway along rhythmically, as the gilded chain mail of the headdress clash together creating that distinct sound in the silence of the night amidst the Renaissance garden, which Mr. Galliano has created as the setting of this season’s show.

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!
