Dreams in white, gold and nude. Opulent details, lace, fringes and embroidery make these dresses look like a winter fairy-tale.

Video: Valentino Haute Couture F/W 10/11

I`m not feeling the shoes (flat mules!?! Not only fugly but also unsafe to walk in!) but I`m very much feeling the short dresses, the ruffles, layers, the black and white, the see-through blouses, the bows and Valentino`s usual "overkill of feminity, tenderness & elegance". YAY for that!

The (re-worked) Lanvin for H&M Show in New York

Why did Alber Elbaz re-work the collection for the show?
Is what we`re getting in the stores next week "not good enough"???

Cheap Monday F/W 2010

The Cheap Monday fall 2010 collection gives an apocalyptic impression but with a sense of hope for the future; holes are mended and scarring is used as decoration.
Razorblade slashes are repaired on both denim and jersey, patches are used together
with spray paint and coatings in rough detailing. A rawness and nomadicity referring to futurism and punk suggests a DIY aesthetic.
The colours consists of a monochrome palette with influences from concrete, plaster
bandage and asphalt with accents indigo, wine red and army green.
The silhouette is diverse with a strong anti fit combined with a tighter look. A clean, graphic angle is used on the styling to point our heads to the future.

Strong, cool, sophisticated: Lanvin F/W 10/11

Oh shoegasm! I LOVE the ankle boots with the cut-outs and the shoe that is half pump and half ankle boot! Stunning!
The leather gloves add an edge of coolness, strong sex-appeal and danger. Alber Elbaz empoweres women with strong, but feminine and round silhouettes, adding subtle glamour through layers, luxurious fabrics and attatched jewellery. Emphasized shoulders and sexy legs make this collection a celebration of contemporary, strong feminity.
