Spring 2010: Best Runway Looks (Part 3: C)

Calvin Klein

This season Francisco Costa kept the clean look (his signature look for CK), but changed his last year strict geometry into soft washed-out crumpled shapes.

Carlos Miele

Amazingly beautiful dresses! Love-love-love them!

Carolina Herrera

To be honest that collection didn't impress me that much, but nonetheless there are several good looks.

Celine

At Celine I like fabrics and tailoring. My most fave here - the 1st dress and the black leather skirt + white blouse.

Chado Ralph Rucci

Nothing special, but just nice and elegant looks for day.

Chanel

  

Here comes Chanel! 

I think it is very symbolic that Karl used this set for Chanel Spring show, because Coco was very close (both physically and especially mentally) to the countryside. I really enjoyed watching this show full of beautiful dresses, it was such a pleasure to look at models who smile and act playfully and walt this "runway" the way they want and feel. Have to say that is not the first thing you might expect from Karl who is known to be very strict about fashion standards. Thank you, uncle! :)

Chloé

Nice comfortable looks, great dresses, I like the flaunting light fabric.

Christian Cota

Sweet dresses :)

Christian Dior

 

Sexy dresses at Dior, so sexy that when you look at them you might question: should I wear them to the bedroom or dare and wear them to the outside? Definitely a clothes for a super-confident women, you better be one. The tricky thing is not to look like a woman of a certain profession if you put it on to go out, you know what I mean ;)

Christopher Kane

 

I really like the shapes and color of these dresses and the way plaids match other prints and colors. Ther last 4 looks are awesome!

Costume National

Well these are some looks for a very hot summer!

Cynthia Steffe

Nice looks, I like how the drapery and ruffles are used, interesting details.

Resort 2010 (Part 3: C)

Calvin Klein

Very light, flawless collection. Very clean, I would say. I like the fabrics, I feel hot summer from these looks.

Chado Ralph Rucci

This brand is new to me. Such a great cute dresses! Love the volume of the skirts in 1st and 3rd dresses and like all the colors here.

Chanel

This collection was shown in Venice and was called "Coco on the Lido" (Mademoiselle Chanel used to visit Venice for nearly 10 years starting in 1919). We see the classic for Chanel sailor theme here, a perfect suit and several gorgeous evening dresses. The hair & make-up might be a little too extravagant and a bit distracting, but all together they form a complete look, very thirties. Love it.

Chloé

We see some sailor theme here at Chloé too - I think it is a universal thing any designer can use in his cruise collection. About the 2nd look with the jumpsuit - can't explain why, but I like it :) And I love the 3rd dress - though it might be a jumpsuit as well (the pants are so wide I can hardly tell if they are pants or skirt), that would be even more interesting.

Christian Dior

Classic Dior looks + crazy hair = funny, but classy and elegant :)

Collette Dinnigan

Mmm, a burst of color :) Nice shapes and fabrics + interesting details.

Costume National

Well this is purely a daywear - nearly anywhere and everywhere you can dressed up like this.

Haute Couture Spring 2010

Yesterday the week of Haute Couture shows started in Paris. And in started with the Christian Dior show by John Galliano. What can I say? Outstanding, as always. A bit complicated, but wonderful.
The inspiration for John was Charles James' gowns: "I was reading that, actually, it was Charles James who influenced Monsieur Dior to come up with the New Look," he said. "And then I was looking at a photo of Charles James doing a fitting—and on the wall behind him was a picture of women riding sidesaddle. And that was it!"
So obviously the collection is full of "riding" ensembles (of course, noone in the right mind will ever ride a horse in a Dior couture gown nowadays. Or maybe...) and monumental evening gows.
I've picked the most interesting for you, take a look:

Fall 2009: Best Runway Looks (Part 3: C)

Calvin Klein

To be honest I am getting tired of Francisco Costa different-but-the-same style every season... Here we go again with asymmetrical sewing, unexpected forms and weird shoes. I managed to pick something I could possibly wear somewhere like a party though.

Carlos Miele

I so love this looks by Carlos Miele, they are so elegant, so feminine.

I like the fur coat a lot, though I'm not a huge fan of fur as I've mentioned before. I like one sleeve dress, it's a trend this fall. All looks are gorgeous.

Carolina Herrera

Really liked the muted dark colours here at Caroling Herrera. My picks are more ready-towear, no evening gowns this time. But these are so chic!

Chanel

Oh, and finally Chanel :) It is my BIG love, so I couldn't resist and picked 6 looks :)

I love the mint nail polish, it's so fresh, it'm gonna have it :) Mint colour is so good for the suit too :) Love sequins and the last skirt.

Well mainly these looks are typically "Chanel", classic.

Chloé

Soft looks at Chloé. Usually I'm not a fan of velvet, but it looks very good here.

Christian Dior

At Christian Dior John Galliano went a little east bringing us signature hats, make-up and the craziest shoes (as always). The coats are a-ma-zing, I'm totally in love. Dresses are gorgeous, not for winter in Siberia though, but who the hell cares? :)

Christian Lacroix

Surprisingly I liked several pieces from Lacroix collection this season - usually I don't feel for them. I love the stockings a lot here, and the shapes of clothes are just very right and elegant. Not 'too much', as it is usually.

Collette Dinnigan

This collection by Collette Dinnigan was very calm and dark. Nothing actually stood out, but this are just good clothes to wear.
