Givenchy Spring 2010

...So Many fave looks, So little space! lol. Since i had to narrow it down, Here are my top 6 looks...
Givenchy has me craving for Spring 2010!!!

I take away from his latest offerings...

• Sheer draped tops (very sexy, esp. if the see through pt is strategically placed )
  
• Futuristic inspired asymmetrical cuts
  
• Stripes, stripes, & more stripes!!!/ Linear prints (try not to stare too hard, you might get dizzy..lol)
  
• Color blocking with prints and solids (really makes design details POP!)
  
• Zero accessories! (the main focus is the silhouette of garment)
• Plunging necklines (mainly in a "V"- shape variation)
• Draped tapered pants (they arent going anywhere!!!)
• Layering various sizes of pleated ruffles asymmetrically (see skirt...im in ♥)
  
• Emphasis on the hips...(Many of the looks gives those of us who weren't blessed with curves, a sleek illusion : D)
• Each piece has an added touch of volume (May it be layering, draping, or cut)
  
• The Balmain-esque shoulders are slowly starting to get toned down... (Thank You!)

Give Me Wedges!!!!

....Givenchy has set the tone this spring, serving up a full dosage/ variety of killer wedges. I cant stop staring at them, they are all SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! Some 1 send me a pair....xoxo : D

Lanvin
Spring 2010

My fave looks.......

I've been meaning to post LANVINS S2010 collection for a while now, just never got around to organizing my imagery! lol. I AM DEF IN LOVEEEEEE... The construction of his clothes are forever timeless in my eyes!

I take away from his latest offerings...

• A new approach on drapery (be slouchy, yet elegant!)
• Asymmetry (see necklines, draping)
  
• Not to be afraid to get GAUDY!!! (Do you notice how a majority of the jewelry is layered on the most embellished pieces?)
  
• Go BLACK, Stay in ALL BLACK! (the silhouette looks much more emphasized, and really makes a statement... w/o the "extra-ness")
  
• Clinched waist (ALWAYS! : )
• Penciled skirts...Loose fitting tapered pants!!! (HOT!)
  
• Emphasis on ankles (is it me, or does shoes w/straps make your ankles look so much smaller?!)
• Minimal makeup (the clothes are a statement in themselves...lets keep it simple ppl)
• One piece anything (jumpers etc.) inst going anywhere!!!! Neither is the "power" shoulder.
  

Effortless Style! ; )

I Spy.......

Eccentric Accessories!!!

Also:

• Layered chokers, chains, cuffs, and rings on just about anything! (Are anklets back?! lol)
  
• Embellishments (jewelry, clothes, shoes)
  
• Leather long glove worn on one hand
• Symbolism - Snakes - A Modern Egyptian feel...
• Precious metals miXed (who said gold & silver dosent go?!)

A little scraps from Milan Fashion wk I've been meaning to post...[Spring 2010]

Nicholas Kirkwood never disappoints!

Azzaro

This is another collection I didn't enjoy as much, but hey! Atleast these looks work' Im a sucker for deep V cuts... ; ) [Spring 2010 Paris Fashion Week]

Emanuel Ungaro epic fail...

But atleast THIS was cute.... Bc I try to stay positive I'm not going to state how I really feel about the rest of the collection...you can peep it @style.com... I do know Lindsay Lohan (who was named "artistic advisor" for the company recently) should just stick to her leggings line! High fashion is not her steez..... [Spring 2010 Paris Fashion Week]

Balmain this yr...

I've been meaning to drop this post for a while now, but it breaks my heart everytime I see his latest collection....Last yr Chris Decarins show was one of the best Paris fashion wk had to offer! He gave me glam, and had every party girl, socialite chic rocking his looks from head to toe' So there's no surprise how much I anticipated 2010's collection... Instead of over the top looks, Decarin opted for a more laid back collection filled w/ lame, leather, shredded, holey, DIY looks! His latest effort isn't bad... But I'd rather see talented designers such as him bring it every yr! In this industry your only as good as your last collection so I feel each yr on the runway should be a banger! Out-do yourself.... {the motto I live by} [Spring 2010 Paris Fashion Week]

Balmain last yr...

Aquatic Fierceness

I must say I really enjoyed viewing Alexander McQueens show...I love it when designers are so creative their final productions take you on a timewarp into another dimension! In this case, McQueen took me down under and showed us all the fierce aquatic fashion creatures that lurk below~ Some of the overall looks I couldn't personally wear but from a designers stand point of view I can understand and appreciate the hard work, and innovation put into the line. The silhouettes are very original and many of the prints are reminicent of Mary Katrantzou's bold graphic style. Also, the stage set was pretty dope...Sir McQueen you truly put the I in INSPIRE!! Some of my fave looks (I would wear) and detail shots... Below! [Spring 2010 Paris Fashion Week]
