Love / Hate : Your personal highlights of S/S 09

[Mr-Dale]

I think my two favorite collections are Louis Vuitton and Alexander McQueen Also I digged Prada, Valentino and John Galliano. But I think that I will remember this show season the most as the season of shoes. There were some really amazing shoes this season which just let you gasping for air while looking at them. Cases in point:

Christian Dior



Prada



Louis Vuitton



John Galliano



Alexander McQueen



Burberry Prorsum



Proenza Schouler



I could go on forever, but I think you got my point...the shoes were on fire this season
