Fresh Flow Spring 2010

Fresh Flow is a fashion event held in my city - it gives young designers the opportunity to show their collections to public and in some cases these are their very first shows. Yesterday I helped organizing this event and everything went well. We had a great audience, so many people came - thank you everyone, that was amazing!
Designers did their best and made the best shows possible. Two of them - Садовская Татьяна and Масленкина Елена were announced as winners and they will show their collections at the Siberian Fashion Week this fall. This is such an opportunity and it was definitely the right choice!
I have several pics from the show now, more will come later.

The beginning of the show:

Show by "ТО МАИКЮЮТ":

Show by Садовская Татьяна:

  

There was an awesome crowd that attended the show - I don't know if that was a flash mob or those people just have a huge sense of humor and also a huge confidence, but there were: Lady Gaga, Верка Сердючка (that is an artist from Ukraine with a very special style), Alla Pugacheva, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Valerii Leontiev and many more. Guys, you were very much fun :)

And the last one I've got so far is from show by Кондратьева Соня &Булыкина Даша:

Girls, one advise: you will do great if you put a big impact on menswear. Your looks were very good and as long as there are plenty of womenswear and nearly none of acceptable menswear you should put stress on the latter.

So this is it so far, but I am hoping for more pictures soon.

Spring 2010: Best Runway Looks (Part 8: J & K)

J. Mendel

Very beautiful elegant feminine looks.

Jason Wu

Can't say that I like the image of the models, but dresses are very nice.

Jil Sander

I love the rolled-up sleeves of jackets and gathered fabric details on the dresses. The 2nd dress really reminds the the Giambattista Valli dress (you can see it in the part 6), they are very similar.

Just Cavalli

Sexy attitude at Just Cavalli - as always. I like how all the pieces are combined.

Karl Lagerfeld

First 3 looks are nice and elegant and I really like the metallic details on the last 2 dresses, very powerful.

Kenzo

I absolutely like how different patterns and fabrics are mixed and matched in every look. And normally I don't like the military style or details,  but the 4th dress is gorgeous.

Spring 2010: Best Runway Looks (Part 7: H & I)

Halston

Gorgeous looks! So fresh for spring/summer. I absolutely like the fabrics and the embellished details on dresses.

Helmut Lang

This is a different approach to spring - very loose forms, quite pale and a bit toned down colors.

Hermès

Hermès had a tennis-themed show and so was the collection itself. I liked flirty dresses and cosy cardigans.

Hervé Léger by Max Azria

If you are not tired of Hervé Léger bandage dresses yet, then you might be interested in this selection of the most interesting looks from Max's Spring collection. To be honest I have been over these dresses for a couple of seasons already and this collection doesn't strike me as well. I think these dresses are pretty much done. 

Iceberg

There were some funny Mickey-inspired pieces and some other interesting sexy clothes.

Isaac Mizrahi

Just some nice clothes, but I didn't really get the theme of this collection, too much at once.

Isabel Marant

Sexy skirts, shorts and dresses at Isabel Marant. The looks are very well put together.

Chtistian Louboutin ad campaign

Christian's newest ad campaign has a weird twisted fairy-tale mood, it really caught my eye...

       

Vogue Paris May 2010

Natasha Poly posed for Mario Sorrenti in hottest swimsuits of this season and the result got the "Plage Privée" title which simply means "Beach" - how I need it right now!

       

Spring 2010: Best Runway Looks (Part 6: G)

Gareth Pugh

Not that these clothes show what spring is to me, but the constructions are very interesting and materials are chosen very smartly. Maybe another color and they would be completely perfect for spring - I mean spring mood. But then it wouldn't be Gareth Pugh, you know :)

Giambattista Valli

 

I really like what Giambattista does, espacially his spring collections. This time the collection is full of interesting prints and fringe, with hints of volume here and there. My #1 favorite is the white dress (far right on the first picture). All the dresses are very lovely.

Gianfranco Ferré

 

This collection is very romantic and light. Especially love first three dresses.

Giles

Edgy dresses and I love the look with the pants and jacket.

Givenchy

 

Interesting collection. Again, dresses are the best, they look very gentle.

Gucci

 

Good geometry, interesting prints, perfect tailoring.

Alexander McQueen Fall 2010 accessories collection

Though we don't have Mr. McQueen with us anymore, his house is determined to proceed his work. Right now we are able to view their Fall 2010 accessories collection.

We have clutch with classical skull fastener and angelical futuristic shoes.

 

Beautiful floral and wings details on boots

Great bags & clutches. There are also bags that can be transformed into clutches.
