LONDON FASHION WEEK. FALL 2011

Collections at London Fashion Week that I LOVED! Literally want to wear them ALL! 

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK. FALL 2011.

New York Fashion Week Fall 2011 collections: My Picks. 

As usual NYFW featured amazing collections from numerous designers. I love the colour-blocking and geometric shapes of Julian Louie, mixed with winters greys and blacks. Fun and cool.

 Isaac Mizrahi on the other hand is 'sugar and spice and all things nice' with sweet candy colours, bows and a poodle to go with it. 

United Bamboo featured menswear inspiration, where tailoring was a key theme throughout, however using soft wools to create a softer look. 

Phillip Li's collection consisted of functional clothing made into key wardrobe pieces, showing pieces from silk dresses to leather carrot shape trousers and outerwear.

JIL SANDER AUTUMN WINTER '11.

I came across Jil Sander's Menswear A/W 2011 collection and I love it! It reminds me of the Spring/Summer Womenswear collection with all the pops of colour. Its a refreshing alternative to menswear with colour being incorporated into items such as tailored suits, jumpers and trousers. I'm loving the simplistic designs combined with colour.

SPRING SUMMER TREND. STRIPES.

For Spring/Summer designers have included huge amounts of colour, pattern and texture in their collections. Particularly bright colours and stripes! A nice transition from the neutrals and duller colours of this current season (Spring/Summer '10 wasn't even really big on brights) - however bright is definitely baaack! Designers such as Prada, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Jil Sander and Junya Watanabe take an artistic, digital approach to their collections this season, taking clear inspiration from op-artist Bridget Riley.

SPRING SUMMER TREND. MAXI SKIRT.

It's quite early to start thinking about Spring/Summer clothing (afterall its been a dreary, rainy week in London), However I always LOVE the transition from one season to the other! On the lead up to Autumn/Winter I couldnt wait to wear my furs! But spring is approaching and I'm looking forward to wearing Spring-time floaty, light numbers. Which brings me to the Maxi-skirt! As seen at fashion weeks for SS 11 by designers Jil Sander, Lanvin, Chloe, Marc Jacobs and Alexander Wang to name a few, it's is set to be the hottest trend for next season. It made an appearance last season, but this time will be bigger. Cant wait! I love a good ol' maxi!

SHOES BY BALENCIAGA.

Balenciaga's Autumn/Winter 2010 collection featured shoes which are simply amazing! The designs are extremely innovative, looking like wearable works of art (definitely not for the foot-shy). I'm in LOVE! The colours, the woodwork, the combination of textile. They would make almost any outfit look delicious.

MEET CAROLYN GEH.

Whilst working as a Backstage dresser at Clothes Show London in June I came across some amazing models, Carolyn Geh was one girl who I was priviledged enough to dress. Carolyn is housed by the model agency Q Managment and has walked for the likes of Marchesa, Erin Fetherston and Three AS Four to name a few. Her incredible bone structure was one of the first facial aspects I noticed, alongside her almond eyes, and a perfect model body. Not forgetting her sweet and humble nature. Her look is amazing and distinct. She's sure to go far!

AUTUMN WINTER TREND: MENS MILITARY.

Burberry Prorsum Autumn/Winter 2010

Military is a trend which has been featured on the catwalk for a few seasons now, it is a huge trend for both women and men this season. Particularly for men! Army green and Navy Blue coats with brass detailing and multiple buttons is an essential when taking on this trend. Furthermore, Aviator Boots are a must-have! Burberry's Autumn/Winter 2010 collection is an amazing representation of this on-going trend!
