Fall 2009: Best Runway Looks (Part 12: L)

Lanvin

I had sensed forties in this collection, and I liked it very much. Though on the one hand it has a bit of retro, I can absolutely see it on the streets and in the offices in the 21st century.

Loewe

The well-known leather goods company is taking clothing serious, and I've found these 3 looks the most interesting amongst their fall collection.

Louis Vuitton

Luisa Beccaria

Very gentle collection. First three - good for daywear, and the last dress is outstanding! Divine.

Siberian Fashion Week

This past weekend Siberian Fashion week was held and I was there sitting front row watching the shows. I have a lot on my mind to share with you, guys.
First of all - the show was really good, better than the spring one. I saw several very interesting and promising designers (some young, some experienced). I'd like to show you the most interesting pieces I saw.
The night started by the fur show. I am not that crrrrrazy about furs, but this coat is quite elegant, the picture doesn't give it enough justice though:

Than I liked one piece by Leonid Alexeev, very sexy! And if you ad a pair of tight black pants you can wear it to the office:

I was charmed by Olga Buzytskaya show, it was very positive and made me smile all the time it lasted :) Unfortunatelly not all dresses were pictured properly so I have only these 3 (the blue coat is my favourite!):

And last but not least was Dasha Gauser, I loved her geometric, sculptured dresses:

Now a little but very important notice to all models who are reading my blog: ladies, if you were chosen to walk the runway at a less or more important fashion show, please shave everywhere. And also if you consider yourself a model, take time to work on your body - some muscles and body tone in general had never hurt anyone, you know.

Anyways, the show was fine and fun, and most of the people were nice and friendly and smiled (!), which is unlikely in that type of social circus. So I had a great night :)

Guys

I've been absent for a while, but I am back now and I'm planning on sharing a lot of news with you. One of them: I've been to Siberian Fashion Week this past weekend, and I loved it, and I'll tell you much more about it in a short amount of time, so be in touch! :)

Fall 2009: Best Runway Looks (Part 11: K)

Kenzo

I enjoyed this Kenzo collection so much! It was clearly Russian-inspired, and it is always flattering to see people being inspired by your heritage. The clothes was very easy and cosy, yet very stylish and feminine. I loved coats and light dresses - I wanted to wear them right away the moment I saw them! What I like about the 3rd look - is the way how absolutely different prints are combined in one look, that is not easy, but here it is done so perfectly. Loved this collection a lot.

J. Mendel

That white fur coat is one of my most favorite coats this season - it is so simple, elegant - divine!

And those dresses - mmm! Lovely. Gorgeous evening gowns.

Jason Wu

Jason Wu is great at all kinds of feminine looks. The 1st dress is really simple yet not boring. 2nd look I'd wear to work. And evening dresses are so beautiful, I love their volume and fabrics they are made of.

Jean Paul Gaultier

Most of the time I can hardly imagine Jean Paul Gaultier's looks off the runway in everyday life, but here we have an exception. Those dresses are not everyday of course, but definitely a stand-out evening wear.

Jil Sander

Clean lines as always at Jil Sander. This collection was less clinic than the spring one, and I like that.

There were several good suits, coats and dresses. I picked those that I liked the most. I like that flashes of color like in the 2nd coat with the lemon-yellow. And I was very intrigued by the color and shape of the orange dress.

Iceberg

I like the big pink knit sweater with a tight pencil skirt. The second dress is good for day and a fur wrap will make it very cosy. 3rd and 4th dresses are obviously for evening, I like big sequins on them.

"Water on the lens" photography exibition in London

These pictures are fantastically beautiful, I was speechless when I first saw them. It's hard to belive, but this is NOT photoshop or any trick, it was really shot that way. OMG.

I am amused.

Novosibirsk Fashion Week

Yes, there is one :) I have just discovered it and decided to go. Well, what can I say? I was not a "fashion week" fashion week, more like a couple fashion days, one of which I visited. Usually when something doesn't approve my expectations, I say to myself: "At least I saw it and now I know what it is like". Well you know - now I know what Novosibirsk Fashion Week is like. Anyways, there was one particular designer, Alexander Baranov, who impressed me. His dresses were quite beautiful and feminine and well done. That is all I can say about this fashion day. Nice experience anyways.

Hermès

This was a very much flying-inspired collection. LOTS of leather (I've picked a leather skirt here) - coats, jumpsuits, dresses, jackets... Anyways, here's my choice: a nice coat, a little bit edgy ensemble with the leather skirt and a cosy knit coat with the dress.

Hervé Léger by Max Azria

The hysteria over Hervé Léger dresses has definetely cooled off now, and that's good. Frankly, I didn't see that many great dresses in this collection - these 4 are the best. Others are more boring and to be honest often very questionable.
