I really like this Longchamp advert with Kate Moss. I absoultely love the concept and am very interested in photography right now, especially black and white photos. The photo strikes me as being classic, which I really enjoyed. What do you think? (photo from just jared)

Bandwagon Hopping

To be honest, I'm usually a tad wary about the things people rave about. I've been disappointed too many times to simply take their word for it. Such was the case with the Christian Dior Couture show. I had heard people raving about it and seen a few photos, but the full magnitude of just how lovely the collection was didn't hit me until I got a chance to go through the runway photos today. I absolutely fell in love with the collection. Being a girly-girl at heart, I was delighted by the colours and ruffles. Still, there was enough black to anchor the collection. Definately one of my favourite collections of the season!

Fun fun fun

Whoever said fashion isn't fun never met Vivienne Westwood. From models on stilts to clown-like painted faces, the show was nothing if not entertaining.

Besides to somewhat over-the-top ideas, there were also some more wearable clothes that I liked. My personal favourites are the yellow dress and the orange jacket. (phots by nymag.com)

If only...

So, I went on a little net-a-porter window-shopping spree this evening and this is what I fell in love with this time:






















Burberry Prorsum



















Marchesa



















Christian Lacroix



















Moschino



















Christian Louboutin

Unfortunately for me, I'm not really in the position to be purchasing any of these gems any time soon, but a girl can dream, can't she?

Alexander McQueen

Still looking through the Fall 08 shows, but I've found another favourite (big surprise here, it's been one of my favourites for a long time): Alexander McQueen.! I really liked a lot of the looks in the fall show. The variety of looks was very diverse, which I think can be good and bad. Good because there is a better chance of appealing to a lot of people, but bad because it's not really cohesive. Regardless, I'm in love with the collection and think that the looks are gorgeous. My absolute favourites are the dress with the peacocks and the last dress with the gorgeous colour and delightful frills. Absolutely incredible.

Sorry again for the absence, I've been sick and doing a lo more sleeping and a lot less blogging. Apologies. Anyhow, I figured I might as well get started on Fall 08 with one of my favorite designing duos: Victor and Rolf! There were some definate themes, with the words "NO" and "Dream On" appearing everywhere (including in giant letters on the front of coats). I think that the second last dress is terribly clever and I absolutely love the first photo. Generally, I think the collection is lovely and everything I would have expected from Victor and Rolf.

Back!

Hey! I'm terribly sorry that I've been away for the last few days, but life intervened in the form of a midterm and Father's Day. But I'm back and I've been looking at the Resort collections. One of my absolute favorite collections in Stella McCartney. Some of the dresses are absolutely delightful! Very exciting. Here are a few of my favorites:

I'm sorry, I know I'm a little behind, but I'll try to play a bit of catch-up this week. Let me know what you think or your favorite resort collection this year. <3>
