And So It Starts...Donna Karan S/S 2010

Okay my fellow lovers of fashion...MB Fashion Week has officially kicked off. The first collection that I am absolutely loving is Donna Karan, but i love her every season. Sometimes, well most times, who am I kidding, I wish I were famous, just so I could afford to buy all these wonderful designer pieces and have somewhere to wear them to. the third from the last dress was MADE for me...she just doesn't know it yet. Noemie Lenoir would look amazing in the last look. The first look is very NYC...power job, power ego. Loving what I've seen thus far. BRING IT ON!!!

Let's Talk About Marant, Shall We?

So I really love Isabel Marant for Fall Winter 09.10. It's kind of "rock & roll boho-chic", which I like. It's funny because I was so completely happy when that whole boho-chic movement, heavily influenced by Rachel Zoe, whom I love, finally went away. I couldn't have been happier. But then the whole "lady-like" look came in, which initially, felt refreshing, but after a good 6 or so seasons of it I was completely done and ready for the next thing. This collection by Marant, however, reminds us of all the reasons we loved boho in the first place. It's so completely free, which, after everything we've been through in the last several seasons, is refreshing.

Plus...love the boots on Anja.

Stella McCartney Autumn/Winter 09.10

This is an absolutely lust-worthy collection. The boots alone makes me want to re-think paying tuition fall quarter, which I'm not stupid enough to do, but I'm just saying. That is the sucky part of being a student: you can't really afford anything aside from the essentials. But, back to the topic at hand: Stella McCartney. Her clothes are just so effortlessly cool. These clothes are for the girl who seems to wake up with the perfect hair and minimal make-up, throws on some McCartney without thinking about it, and ends up being the best looking thing walking down the boulevard. Amazing.

Valentino Haute Couture Auturm/Winter 09.10

I am so inlove. So corporate Valentino fired the previous designer, whom I love, not only because she is an excellent designer, but because my guy, Tom Ford personally picked her to continue designing for Gucci after his own demise (and they should have kept here...look at the mess they've made of Gucci now), I didn't think Valentino would ever be the same. But surprisingly enough, I actually like what the new desginers have put out. Sure it is a little McQueen, 2006 (I believe), and maybe even a little Viktor & Rolf, back in , I want to say 2005-ish, but that's actually okay because those were brilliant collections. I feel like this was an extremely strong collection for Valentino, and they better not fire these two. I would love to see Theron in the dress above. She's such a swan.

Dasha, Dasha, Dasha

I love Haute Couture season. It tends to bring out the best in terms of show attendence. The Pret-A-Porter shows have become so much of a specticle lately, with reality show personalities posing as stylistas. It's not about the show anymore, but who is in attendance in terms of celebrity. The amount of celebrities at a given show is not an indicator of the talent level of the designer.

Okay, I've started to go off on a bit of a tangent. But the point I was trying to make is the Haute Couture tends to attract truly stylish people, and it bring out the best in them. Dasha has been looking amazing this season. Above she attends the Chanel show, and below she attends the Givenchy show.

Sorry for the watermarks. You get the picture, though.

I cannot believe how completely chic Rachel Roy's clothes are. Even more surprising is that it all comes from the (ex) wife of a hip-hop mogul - which is partly to blame for her lack of recognition. For someone who is fairly new by designer standards, her clothes are remarkably finished. They are American but with a Parisanne flair - her latest resort collection featured chicest trench coat I've seen outside of Burberry. The trousers are just long enough, the dresses just chic enough...it's time Ms. Roy received some much deserved recognition from the fashion world.

Rachel Roy Pre-Fall 2009

Rachel Roy is definitely on my radar. Her clothes are so completely chic. These are clothes that you can wear through out the year, and in every city. Moscow, Tokyo, Frankfurt, Prague. I feel like that is the mark of a true designer. The collection has it's own unique look, but it still versatile enough to transcend all lines.
