Random SS10/RTW

Random outfits that caught my eye from various designers from Spring 2010 collection. Pre-Fall 2010 is out now. These runway shows always mess us up with their earliness but I guess other designers need to compile and synthesize their own takes on the trends before it comes out for us to buy!

Balmain

Dior
Bow sleeves so cute!

Carolina Herrera

Erin Fetherston

Love everything about this look

Chanel

From looking at the massive collection of sherbet metallic tweed short suits, I'm dying for a cropped, softly metallic tweed blazer! I just realized I didn't save any pictures of their tweed suits.....

Tory Burch

Lanvin
Love this drapey orange dress

DKNY
Love love love love love!! Sequins on top!! My fav.

Alexander Wang
Wasn't too fond of Alexander Wang's whole "American Classic Twist" concept with rugby jackets etc.. but this dress is wearable.

Fall RTW looks so gloomy compared to Spring!

3.1 Phillip Lim SS10/RTW

T-strapped close-toed pumps, satin black, red peeptoe lace-up booties, the metallic blazer dress, grays, cinched duo-shade a-line dresses, metallics, high waisted, cream oxford pumps, the leather jacket with cream lining, overall easy-wear. I didn't really think the whole flow was greatly executed, but I like every outfit individually.  If I saw these outfits in different stores around Vancouver, I'd probably pick them up to try them on, but if they were all in one store, I'd probably only choose the metallic blazer dress and the ivory dress in the 3rd row. Anyway, that's 3.1 Phillip Lim!
P.S. Anyone notice the adorable hair?? That's the kind of hair I'd give my toddler! lol yet it suddenly becomes chic because of the clothes and its slickness.

DVF SS10/RTW

Dropped waists, crocheted macrame, free flowing hair, breezy Spring florals, bronze sandals, chunky neon bangles, animal-print-transformed swimsuits, rose gold blazers, and fabulous little white dresses.
This is Diane von Furstenberg.

Burberry Prorsum SS10/RTW

I just realized I previewed around half of the Spring 2010 rtw collections on style.com back in late October! hah.. I want every piece of clothing from this collection.

Oh so btw, I bought this trench from H&M last week. I instantly fell in like with it because it was different! It's a classic colour and material, but it had some excess material detailing which made it fairly heavy (and warm.. not exactly a Spring trench). They only had 3 left in varying sizes, but after trying this one on, I decided I will return it unless I can exchange for a size down. I really like it.. my mom doesn't really, and my dad says that it's a lot of material lol. This trench is different because it looks totally funny if I wear it just buttoned, double-breasted-style. I need to literally wrap it around me and then belt it. Yea it stays put fine.. I like it that way 'cause it looks like a dress.  Sorry for such crappy pictures.. like I said, my camera broke and I had to use my mom's (super super super old) 3.2mp Canon that produces pink-toned or streaked pictures...

You can also wear it open and all bow-like in the back (if I could see what I was doing) for a different look. I actually like how fold-y it is when I do it.

Emilio Pucci SS10/RTW

I received an e-mail this morning from net-a-porter (I subscribe) regarding their latest video snippets of the highlights of recently released Spring 2010 RTW (ready to wear) collections. There are 18 videos in total - one of each brand net-a-porter will sell.

Out of the 18, my favourites are:

1. Burberry Prorsum (as always)
2. Diane Von Furstenberg (DVF)
3. 3.1 Phillip Lim
4. Emilio Pucci

I was a surprised by the last selection! When I hear "Pucci", I automatically think of loud, wild, colourfully neon, geometric prints older Asian women loved to wear. I never gave them a chance. When I was watching the short snippet of their runway highlights, finger ready to pounce on the button for "next designer", I was shocked at how tasteful and wearable their clothes were!

Here are my Top 5

Except for the last shot, the video does a much better job in capturing the movement and wear-ability of the outfits... they aren't as boxy looking on the runway as they are in these pictures. I will post up my other Top 5 outfits from other designers eventually!
