Recently in Fall 2010 Category

With temperatures nearing 100 degrees everyday, some of us wouldn't mind if fall comes next week. One thing is certain though, when the mercury starts dropping fashion becomes 'hauter'. A staple for fall, boots are hotter than ever this fall (no pun intended).

Just take a look at this Versace Patent and Suede Boots. I love the modern and very chic design. The wooden heel gives the boot a Yin and Yang feel. And the touch of red detail on the sole is subtle but speaks volumes. These boots can be paired with endless looks for fall. Not a bad investment if you ask me.

Leave it to John Galliano to stray from the pack and create another spectacular collection. His Fall 2010 Couture Collection is simply breathtaking. If flowers bloom in fall this how they will look, colorful and enchanting. This is by far one of Galliano's best in my opinion. There wasn't a single garment that walked the runway that I didn't like.
I love Galliano's play on volume, bright, bold colors, very feminine silhouettes and the ombre dresses are so chic. The styling is perfection. The models hair resembled flower buds and some even had headgear resembling florists' plastic wraps.
Ending the collection was a series of exquisite and masterful ball gowns that are mesmerizing. All in all, the collection had a delicate feel showcased with precision and confidence. Galliano gave us a glimpse on how something as small like a flower can inspire greatness. Bravo!

I was going through my fashion week archives and came across one of my favorite 2010 Fall Ready-to-Wear Collections, Chanel. Though the collection wasn't perfection, I still liked it. To collection simply answers the question, 'What would Coco wear if she was stranded on an iceberg'

Chanel's signature knitwear as always, impeccable. Designs were modern, innovative and very chic. And I loved the fur boots.

The not-so-fabulous pieces in the collections were the faux-fur trousers and Chewbacca inspired garments. Granted most of the fur was fake (snaps for Lagerfeld in doing so) it was a bit to much. I mean, imagine wearing one of these head-to-toe fur garments and asked who are you wearing? Big Foot.

Total shock, sadness and a feeling of great lost is what I felt upon hearing the death of Alexander McQueen, one of fashion's greatest designer. McQueen was a visionary. Always pushed the boundaries. On the day of his death, alexandermcqueen.com was temporarily taken down in respect to McQueen's passing. Speculations surrounds his death and I guess no one really knows the real reason why McQueen took his life. His legacy will live through his creations and it was decided that the Alexander McQueen band will live on.

Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2010 Collection is regal, opulent, chic and the designs are fit for a queen. The fabrics, designs and silhouettes are chic and modern. The collection was shown in a romantic setting without the extra effects we would expect from a McQueen show. The show was serene and underneath the oohs and ahhs... there's a feeling of sadness in the air because this was the last collection we will see from Alexander McQueen. The collection was titled 'Each piece is unique, as was he', so true. He surely will be missed.
Alexander McQueen was a beacon of creativity and innovation not just for me but for a lot of people. Here is a slideshow of a few pieces from Alexander McQueen's collections through the years. 'Goodbye Lee and thank you...'
