NOT in white...


* i guess the white was just for the presentation...
which i think was really beautiful and successful...
it really allowed the shapes and silhouettes to come through...
which is something i find really appealing...
undercover was a fave for me actually...
especially the little 'graces'...


lanvin seemed repetitive and bulky to me in most places...
i liked this fall's collection ( the one in stores now) a LOT more....
so i was really looking forward to this one...
that was a bit of a bummer for me....


i really liked dries and demeulemeester...
yohji had some really strong pieces as well... *mostly pants suits...
(though it didn't sing to me)

oddly...
i find myself drawn to sonia rykiel's playful french fashion these days...

The only show I REALLY loved from the first to the last look was Dries van Noten.

[bittercain]

loved:Givenchy( it's criticized badly not as good as last season, but we can still see some bold & great ideas such as the combination of denim and leather that Tisci created. I'd like to say that it's a little bit insane for our daily wear,but it will cater for a bunch of celebrities' taste.Even Mrs.M is dying for these outfits, and the dark sweet gothic le smoking suits gonna be essential to editors.)
Alberta Ferretti(of course fringes)
Rick Owens(Santa Maria)
Giambattista Valli(the exaggerated poufy silhoustte is by heavens)
Versace(the shape and the zip)
Hated:Hermes(where are my sophisticated Hermes women?tacky and gross for this brand)
Unsatisfactory:YSL(come on, please take the glamorous femininity back, tired of seeing these kind of tough powerful girls, Pilati, you were really good at it, but now you only have crush on tougher and toughest , what a shame)
