Fashion Week Fall RTW 2011: Monique Lhuillier

With Fashion Week ending soon, I started to, again, browse the looks of my favorite designers. Sadly, this season didn't really appeal to me as much as the Spring/Summer 2011 shows. Well, that maybe because I'm not really the burgundy and long skirts type of girl. Although there isn't really a defining trend for this season, but I've been seeing lot's of 70s glamour, spangles, classic and somber pieces. But in general, they're all too dark and... uhh... I have no idea what's the best word to describe it. Simply said, I was less than impressed. BUT there are, of course, the very few collections I love.

One of them are Monique Lhuillier's. It's the first time I heard of her and I absolutely love her Fall 2011 collection. Lots of dresses, very glamourous, very pretty. First saw her collection from The Cut on the Runway app for the iPad (which is amazing, btw. Great interface, very up-to-date, doesn't crash like the Style.com app), my new best friend :p Well, enough with the blurts, on with the pictures!

Here are my favorite looks from the show:

MY FAVORITE!!

Although the color I don't quite love, the dress itself is just gorgeous!

Not really a huge fan of animal prints, but this is love!

I also love what they did with the hair!

I will post more favorites soon! I have another one in queue and will probably post it tomorrow or the day after :D so stay tuned!

{Fashion Week SS'11 Favorites: Anna Sui}

Celebrating her label's 10th Anniversary, Anna Sui is back with her signature dreamy, youthful and eathy vintage-inspired pieces. Print ponchos and patchwork print dresses, countless prairie-chic plaids, paisley prints, ruffles and lace confections are huge in this collection. I've always personally loved her collections. The sort of bohemian details, sweetness, and femininity that she exudes through her pieces NEVER fail to get me hooked! Even the models smiled in the runway!! I just love fashion shows that aren't all straight-faced-models-with-very-serious-guests. I think a smile makes everyone look even more pretty :) HAHA okay anyway, back on track, the collection also got really good reviews! AND WOAH!! Frida Gustavsson is the First Face!! LOVE♥

“What is always in the back of my mind when I design anything is, ‘Is it nostalgic but trendy, rock’n’roll but feminine, good girl and bad girl?’” -Anna Sui 

I'm sure you're all psyched to see the preview video right? just be honest with me already. pfft. i know everything. Soooo here it is!! From NylonTV:


And I absolutely agree to NylonTV's comment on the show: AMAZING HAIR!! YES YES YES!!! Loovee the hair! Mmmhm! Light, bouncy, shiny and wavy~

Don't believe me? Here are some eyecandy to prove how pretty they are ;)

LOVE!! OMG SOMEONE TELL ME WHO THIS IS DX

Lovin' the headpiece on her♥

You know what to do...

{Fashion Week SS'11 Favorites: Dolce & Gabbana}

Ookay so as you can see I changed the title to just Fashion Week because I got mixed up @.@ clumsy me I will, though, try to tag the posts with the proper places (Paris, Milan, New York, etc.) FORGIVE MEHH!

Ayt, moving on... Next is: Dolce & Gabbana. Okay so I don't usually like Dolce & Gabbana but this season's is sooo worth writing about!! I mean, hello?! WHITE!!! White Italian lace!! OMG I could die. Sheer dresses and micro minis are also a huge in this collection. Dolce & Gabbana doesn't usually showcase pale colors and whites; black and more vibrant tones are usually their thing. But this is like a really refreshing start!


Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the preview of the show in youtube :( Sooo, you'll have to make do with the full show. Don't worry, it's only 10 minutes Soo, without the preview, its on with the favorites!! 10 pictures as usual ;) So here goes...

I LOVE THIS ONE! 

HAHA! AND THIS ONE TOO♥

MOAR?

{Fashion Week SS'11 Favorites: Tommy Hilfiger}

TOMMY HILFIGER is next :D Okay, so I don't usually rave over his collections and designs because they're usually just plain american clothes, but this season's collection is just AMAZING!! Can I say it one more time? AMAZING!!! I read somewhere that they're celebrating it's 25-year heritage, delivering an exaggerated, beyond-preppy rocker-meets-country-club vision for the season ahead. Pleated tennis skirts, super-short high waists, pop-colored blazers, fisherman hats, and brights dominated this show. Okay, HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE THAT?! I mean, HELLO, it's a whole lotta awesome packed in one show!!

They still stuck to the roots of classic Tommy Hilfiger, just with a modern twist and bright colors. Just how I like it ;) OH OH!! You HAVE to see the runway setting! They put on these, like, fake grass which is so cute for some reason :/ So yeah, moving on... Here's a preview from FTV in youtube:



Now, on to the pleats and polos:

LOVE the red!

More down beloowww

{Fashion Week SS'11 Favorites: BCBGMAXAZRIA}

MEHH -___- sorry. Didn't post yesterday as you might notice. But this time I have a good excuse!! I came home late and was really tired... So, yeah. Here's another post! BCBGMAXAZRIA!!
The whole Spring/Summer collection just screams GODDESS! Light and airy dresses, whites and sand, nude makeup, clean, pulled-back hair--absolutely beautiful!! The married duo, Max and Lubov Azria, just never fails to create a collection anyone will favor.

"The collection was abundant in dresses, but it allowed the Azria's to fully explore their chosen theme. Diaphanous shifts grazed the body and sometimes featured asymmetrical draped tiers, overlays or hints of sheer gauze peeking from beneath a hemline." -Vogue UK

It's just a dream seeing the collection. You really get that serene feel from the spring frocks.


Here is a preview of the collection from MBFWNewYork in Youtube:




Pictures, pictures, pictures!!

MY FAVORITE♥

{Fashion Week SS'11 Favorites: DSQUARED2}

Hellooo theree! First of all, IM SOOOO SORRY :'( I wasn't able to post yesterday because I came home sooo late and was so tired :( to make up for it, umm well, I'm still gonna make 7 posts soo yeah. Hahaha -_-


Ayt thenn, today's favorite is DSQUARED2 (Women's collection of course ;P). This season, DSQUARED2 went geek! DSQUARED2 duo Dean and Dan Caten always have a surprise up their sleeve and for their sping/summer 2011 collection, that came by the way of geek chic, but in a way that only they can do - which meant sequins, eveningwear and preppy tomboyish looks all rolled into one.I really loved the collection! Oh and another thing I loved about the show was Sasha Pivovarova being the FIRST FACE!! WOOHOOO!

"It'll be very grown up and all about smart, clean chic. Everything will be very polished and well turned out. I think we're returning to that look now. People want to buy classics and that's what we're doing" -Dean and Dan Caten

I can't find any preview videos so you'll have to watch the whole fashion show or just make do with the pictures :( Trust me though, the runway show is a MUST WATCH! You won't regret it! On to my favorites:

MY ULTIMATE FAVORITE!! Frida looks stunning!

Vlada vlada vladaaa♥ I loove the ensemble

{Fashion Week SS'11 Favorites: Marc by Marc Jacobs}

Okay, my second post this week! Aandd as the title states, I'm loving Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring Summer 2011 Collection! Primary Colors and grey rule this season with simple ensembles, long dresses, and jumpsuits. How could you NOT love that?! I've read reports on the show itself and some say that the bold stripes and jumpsuits are just like any other fashion show. Well, I think bold stripes can never go out of style. They're a classic!! Especially how Marc Jacobs put it in his designs. Simply marvelous! I sound a bit british there. Maybe I've been watching too much skins :p


Marc Jacobs just nails it every time in daywear! Take a sneak peak of the show here: (taken from NylonTV):


Andd next are the pictures!! These are my favorites:

MY ULTIMATE FAVORIITEE!!! And it's worn by Frida Gustavsson too ;) love her.

{Fashion Week SS'11 Favorites: Betsey Johnson}

Helloooo there! Since fashion week's been goin on for quite some time, imma post some of my favorite fashion shows each day for the rest of the week which is kinda unlikely since there are SO much to choose from so maybe 7 days wouldnt be enough ;P My first post will, of course be, from my favorite designer, BETSEY JOHNSON♥ I always loove her fashion shows! Her runway shows are anything but boring. I don't quite fancy fashion shows where models don't smile at all and just look straight to the audience.

"The collection is based on the different types of people you encounter when you're on your bike in the city" -Betsey Johnson

Watch a sneak peak of the show here from NylonTV:


And what's a blog post without some pictures? Here are some of my favorites: (trust me though, just watch the video of the show. WAY BETTER!)
