D&G Ski style

Apres-ski, reindeer, sweaters and 'yeti' boots sum up the D&G show. The line was filled with sweater dresses, flirty skirts and dresses paired with yeti fur boots. The outfits were accessorized with ski gear, from helmets to goggles. The line was a great wardrobe for the snow bunny look.

There were flirty chiffon dresses and skirts for daywear, infused with the reindeer sweaters and yeti boots.

The collection overall was greatly inspired by the Vancouver Olympic games. A step in a very different direction for the label. What do you think?

NY Fashion week Fall 2010 FAVS

Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.

Here are my favorite outfits of the 2010 fall New York fashion week!

Erdem wins

Erdem won the best British designer at Elle style awards. Erdem has been a craze since he established his line in 2005. Erdem Moralioglu has studied fashion in both England and Canada, where he is from. He was born to a Turkish father and English mother and was raised in Montreal, Canada. He has won numerous awards, his collections are now sold in all the premiere department stores world wide, and his line was a hit at London fashion week.

He has a great style, and aesthetic. I am very excited to see what he is going to do next.

Naeem Khan Sparkles

Sparkle, gold, and glam are the words that come to mind with this collection. Naeem Khan, an Indian designer, has been on the fashion scene since launching his line in 2003. This collection demonstrates to me that Naeem Khan is definitely a force to be reckoned with! This collection is by far one of my favorites of fashion week! Khan pulls off the East meets West factor flawlessly.

Isaac Mizrahi dazzles

I really liked this collection. Mizrahi combined wearable clothes with high style urban glamour. The textures and color combinations of all is pieces were so unique. Mizrahi explains, "there is a comfort food quality of my clothes, but there's also a fancy, delicate quality that I bring to it," I couldn't have explained it better myself. I think this collection was one of the weeks best.

Ralph Lauren

Ralph lauren played heavily with the masculine/feminine trend in this collection and wrapped it all together in a country trend bow. Velour pants were paired with masculine vests, feminine tops were paired with manly herringbone pants, and florals were paired with neutral cardigans. The country theme mainly came out in the accessories, shoes and color palette.

The evening portion was a bit less glamourous than usual, however that does seem to be the idea this season. I love the black beaded chiffon layer dress.

Proenza Schouler

Graphic prints, school-girl look, fur, and COLOR are the words to describe this collection! Proenza Schouler brings fashion week to a close and certainly closed it with a bang. The designer duo behind the label did not buy into the dark and serious tone set by other designers this week. They went against the black motif and opted for more color and pattern.

They showed a few items with the same components but layered in different ways. At one point they had the same dress silhouette portrayed in different prints. Overall they used the style of mis-matching patterns on their garments, a trend which has dominated the runways for the past 4 seasons.

They did however incorporate many of the elements found on most of the runways this week; the fur, the school girl inspiration, and the strong statement coats. They certainly proved why they have become the favorite of fashionistas all over hollywood.

Marchesa fashion week

The collection drew it's inspiration from Lola Montez, the adventuress, dancer and courtesan. This woman loved the dramatics, used her feminine charm to get her way, and ended up as a circus preformer after being mistress to King Ludwig of Bravaria. If the inspiration for this collection is any indication you cqn guess that it was a romantic, sexy, daring and over the top line.

The style was flamenco for some of the dresses whereas for others, there was this quailty of an intricately painted body suit which translated into a beautiful unique garmet. Another staple of the line was perfectly crafted and detailed handwork which has become characteristic of Marchesa's gowns. This new pleating technique introduced is a sure hit. I loved the romantisim and flare of the red soft oragmi inspired dress.

Get ready to see a lot of these stunning dresses on the red carpet!

Oscar De La Renta

Sparkle and dazzle. Femininity was ever present, his collections are always a celebration of women. Colors were luscious, emerald greens, gold, jade, ruby reds and rich yellow. All the clothes seemed to emulate royalty and power with soft accents. The garments almost looked like single gems sparkling down the runway. Pencil skirts with belted jackets, fine tailored coats, mink trims.

There was also an art deco inspiration for a few garments, as in the top dress. The evening gowns were champagne with golden details fit for the royal family.

I love this collection! Every piece feels rich, womanly and priceless.
