Spring 2010: Best Runway Looks (Part 10: M)

Marchesa

 

Insanely beautiful gowns at Marchesa. Of course these are not daywear, but - my God! - how gorgeous are they!

Mark Fast

This designer is new to me and I must say I really like these super-sexy dresses, perfect for hot summer!

Mary Katrantzou

Psychedelic colors and interesting cuts really caught my eye here.

Matthew Williamson

Very yummy collection at Matthew Williamson, the colors and their combinations are very pretty, plus beautiful embellishments make a great fresh summer look.

Michael Kors

Good collection based on simple colors and clean lines, no ruffles and stuff - just sharp silhouettes. Most of all I like sequined dresses.

Missoni

To be honest most of Missoni spring collection made me yuck... But I managed to find some quite nice looks. The rest of it was simple shocking for me - I mean, even my grandma looks more modern then those looks (as you understand I didn't put them here).

Miu Miu

Very beautiful dresses.

Moschino Cheap & Chic

Very pretty dresses, 1st and 2nd are my fave.

Numéro May 2010

I don't really like Dree Hemingway as model, but this photoshoot by Solve Sundsbo called "Sang d'Encre" ("Blood Ink") is very beautiful and artistic.

      

'MET Costume Institute Gala 2010

This Monday Metropolitan Museum held its annual Gala: the MET Costume Institute Gala. It took me a while but I want to share with you my choise of the best dressed ladies of the night.

 

These 8 ladies opted for golden/nude gowns and I must say that is nearly always a perfect choice for a big event.

So, here we have (from left to right): Alessandra Ambrosio in Versace, Gwen Stefani in L.A.M.B. (really respect her for wearing her own line to such a big fashion event!), Sarah Jessica Parker in Halston Heritage, Emma Watson in Burberry (very daring dress). Second picture: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Burberry, Anne Hathaway in Valentino (she's my favourite here), Jessica Szohr in Atelier Versace (one of the best looks of the night) and Donatella Versace in Atelier Versace (speaking of the gown and the hair she looks stunning, but let's leave talks about her face aside).

These elegant women have chosen shades of blue for the big night (from left to right): Maggie Grace, Blake Lively in Marchesa (she's shares my 1st place with Anne Hathaway), Amber Valletta in RM by Roland Mouret (exquisite) and Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad Couture (she is my 3rd fave of the night. Stunning).

Here are several more gowns of random colors (from left to right): Ivanka Trump in Atelier Versace (very beautiful lilac color, very gentle on her), Stella McCartney, Liv Tyler and Kate Hudson all in Stella McCartney (each has a beauty of her own) and Kate Bosworth in Valentino Couture.

Numéro May 2010

Model Anja Rubik in photoshoot "Plein Soleil" by Camilla Akrans for Numéro May 2010.
I really enjoyed this editorial, I like the lightening and make-up. Hope you'll like it too.

       

GOOP

Today I have discovered Gwyneth Paltrow's website called GOOP and I just want to share my discovery with you.
To be honest, I've heard about this site long time ago, but I thought about it as something not serious and boring and just something that doesn't worth my attention. I am generally very sceptical about everything various starts do besides their jobs. But today for some reason I have decided to open it up and see what it is about anyway. And you know what? I was very much surprised just how interesting it was for me! There is information about cooking (and that is my huge passion), spending free time, staying healthy, styling (that was funny, but nice), psychology and some more. So if you're interested in any of this - go check this site yourself. I wouldn't recommend it to you if it was nonsense.

Spring 2010: Best Runway Looks (Part 9: L)

Lanvin

 

Beautiful collection full of drapery and shuttlecocks. Can't say that I liked a lot from this collection, but there are several really beautiful dresses.

Lela Rose

Nice casual feminine looks.

Louis Vuitton

To be honest, my first reaction when I saw these pictures was "WTF, is he kidding?!" I mean, seriously? What was Marc thinking when he made this collection? Just how stupid and blind his clients are or what? Especially those shoes... Ew! But then after looking at these pictures for about a thousand times I figured that you can actually wear some dresses and not look ridiculous. But shoes get a big NO-NO from me.

Louise Goldin

Gorgeous gentle looks, I fell in love with them.

Luca Luca

Nice & elegant daywear.

Fresh Flow Spring 2010

More pictures from the show.
This is our wonderful hostess Larisa (she's wearing pants by Olga Buzytskaya, and they are absolutely fabulous! They have the craziest detail on the back, not everyone can pull them off):

Designers, I am very sorry but there were 11 collections and I can't remember correctly which was made by who, so I'll just post all pictures together. If you want me to correct something and write down your name under a certain picture - that's no problem, just let me know.
