Michael Kors on what s hot this fall.

Project runway judge and fabulous designer , Michael Kors, sat down with Access Hollywood to talk about what's hot and trendy this fall.

He point out the trends and gives great advice on how to wear them and god knows he knows what he s talking about.

He says:

"BLACK
Black is the new Black!
This Fall there was tons of black, but this is not basic black.
Try for a more architectural shape - think origami folds and tucks.

NEON
The 80s are back!
It is the color of the season, but be careful keep the shape clean - a strapless sheath or a collarless coat.

TAILORING
We need to accept that suit is not a dirty word.
It’s time to return to tailoring - a strong shoulder, but no 80s power suits.
There is a whole generation of 20-year-olds who now need invest in a great suit.

MAJOR SHOES
Tough clothes call for tough shoes - black patent platform pumps, mary janes and strappy heels.

STRUCTURED ACCESSORIES
A stainless steel trim clutch.
Architectural shoes.
Bold necklace - think a chic bike chain choker."

SO SPOT ON..

GO GET YOURSELF A TAILORED SUIT WITH ARCHITECTURAL SHAPE.

Miu Miu spring summer 2010 rtw preview

Louis Vuitton spring summer 2010

Model strutted down the runway in huge afros.
When asked what the look was Jacobs responded:
"about travelers—the movement that came after punk. Then we were thinking about hiking, trekking, and then denim and parkas—city utilitarianism."
What did this mean?
The first looks were japan inspired though it was hard define and find
a label for the sporty, couture-ish, military, metallic, glittery layering that was happening . Included were brocade cycling shorts, pleated kilt belts, army pocketed jackets, neon and nude camouflage dresses, and LV dyed denim looks with fringed edges. Among the sport mesh and draping there was a splash of a brilliant green pailletted number (was so cute and hot even though it looked a bit out of place).
The accessories were luxe,young and funky as Jacobs has been rightfully doing these last season.
overall a 10/10 for me!!!
Love LV!!!!Marc Jacobs certainly knows how to put up a good show and impress!

Elie Saab 2010 rtw s/s

When hearing the name E.Saab one thing comes into mind amazing red carpet dresses and cocktail looks.
Mr Saab has not dissapointed and I can so see these looks on the red carpet.
From LBD with amazing drapery and detail to colorful long gowns with embellishments this collection oozes glamour and class.
Well done Mr Saab I am in awe!!!

Hermes spring summer 2010 rtw

Looking at this collection it is clear where JPG got his inspiration:sports particularly tennis.
The words that describe this collection best are:glamorous sportswear.
The basis of this collection seems to be white and then there is this added splash of color.
The shape,flow if the garments is amazing not crazy about the tennis headbands on all the models though.The clothes are wearable and I m loving the updated oversize version of the Birkin.

yes or no?

Rihanna at Chanel.
hot or not?

Focus on McQueen...

Ok I agree these are very creative and i congratulate McQueen for his innovative design but are these actually wearable?



Yes it s a work of art but is it worth buying them to just stare at them????

Foreseeking the future at A.McQueen

Futuristic look,outer space woman,those are the words that come into mind when thinking of this collection.
Fashion and art seem to emerge,but to be honest i don t think these clothes are wearable.
Success or failure ?have a look and decide...

Chanel s/s 2010

The clothes and decor were just fabulous.

Here s the fashion review:

By Sarah Mower

"Chanel was up at cockcrow for a gigantic fashion romp in the hay. A huge barn had been conjured up in the center of the Grand Palais, and the models emerged from it, wheat ears clinging to their tousled blond Bardot beehives, straw stuck to their clothes, and a little smirk and stagger in their step as if just caught out at you-know-what. Naughty, naughty! Between them, the Chanel country coquettes managed to flirt their way around every rustic reference in Karl Lagerfeld's extensive repertoire of craft-y couture skills, from hopsack to basket weave and cane work to aprons, dirndls, peasant-y poppy prints, and fantastic wooden double-C clogs. It was a bumper harvest of everything that is chicly tattered, beribboned, and gloriously made about Chanel, as well as the season's sole experience to make the anxiety and earnestness around fashion evaporate, to make it seem like fantastic fun again.

Never mind the hay, Lagerfeld was on a roll. Digging into a theme can sometimes throw up some embarrassing puns, and the effort to be youthful has occasionally had off-beam results at Chanel. But with this collection, Lagerfeld's summing up of the season's tendencies—beige, ivory, and black; rough textures; transparency and lace—was spun into a collection so masterfully balanced between classicism and current fashion affairs that the whole thing felt delightfully sure-footed. The knack was that he didn't rush it—just let the thing keep bouncing out in a sustained variation of caramels, taupes, and ecrus, all logically adapted to the house's nubby tweed suits, frothy blouses, and fluttery chiffons. The editing of everything to short lengths looked sweet without being chichi—the test being that every teenage girl looked naturally at home in the little thigh-split skirts (that's what has happened to the bottom half of the Chanel suit), as well as in the mini-crinis and ruffled dance dresses.

Prince and Rihanna were competing for attention in the front row; there was a surprise turn from Lily Allen, who rose out of the floor on a hoedown platform to belt out a saltily worded country number; and at the end, Freja Beha Erichsen, Lara Stone, and Lagerfeld's constant companion, Baptiste Giabiconi, were literally rolling around in the hay together. And yet, remarkably, the clothes never became a sideshow. In a season when celebrities, concepts, and a lot of forgettable mediocrity have got in the way of seeing why luxury fashion should merit the price, this was a Chanel triumph.

Ingenuity at RM by Roland Mouret.

The Galaxy, the Titanium, the Moon that have become endlessly copied classics are what made Roland Mouret's name.

The man can drape and that s why the fashion world loves him. And his tailoring is fabulous.

Mouret manages to mix both and that s what makes this collection so beautiful.

Success Success Sucess!!!

Stella Mc Cartney s s 2010..



"Trey Speegle's giant paint-by-number canvas spelling out the word YES at the back of Stella's runway summed up the mood of today's collection quite succinctly. These were uncomplicated, upbeat, and above all colorful clothes for women who prefer not to think too hard about getting dressed but still want to look young, sexy, and chic. It's a sentiment that McCartney, a mother of three young children and the head of a growing fashion empire, understands intimately—as do her loyal customers, including front-row pal Gwyneth Paltrow.

The actress, who sat sandwiched between Stella's dad, Sir Paul, and Charlotte Rampling, wore a McCartney blazer and skinny denim. Both made appearances on the runway, but these weren't the designer's signature elongated, borrowed-from-the-boys shapes. Instead, she took her tailoring in a more feminine direction. Jackets in silvery raw silk shantung came with a graceful ruffle down one lapel, or a sweet peplum, and were paired with wrapped-waist, relaxed silk pants. Denim turned up as a pinafore and as easy button-front A-line skirts, worn with a silk shirt or a lace cami and jacket. Wedge cork Linda sandals, inspired by McCartney's late mother, complemented the clothes' slightly retro seventies feel.

"Summer's not about aggression," the designer said backstage, and that thinking extended into evening, for which she proposed red, blue, and orange rose-print pleated dresses edged at the neckline and hem with swirls of ruffles. The collection won't necessarily situate her in Spring's big conversations about sheerness or lingerie (she did transparency and lace last season). Not that she minds. "I wanted to teach my customers not to be afraid of the simple stuff," she said. McCartney clearly isn't, and it's that kind of confidence that makes her clothes so winning. "

Karl Lagerfeld s/s 2010

The basis of the collection was shorts.
Lagerfeld pushed his idea with all-in-one playsuits but i m not sure i like the end result..

Emanuel Ungaro s/s 2010

With Lindsay Lohan as creative advisor this collection left fashion critics unimpressed.
Personally i don t like all those hearts here and there and find the clothes really plain and boring..
have a look.

Hit or miss?

Here are some of the looks Rihanna wore at Paris fashion week thus far..




Hit or miss you decide..

G spot..

Yes you read right this is the name of the entry!
You may be wondering at this point why i named this entry "G spot"...
I named it such because that s the name/theme of Jean Paul's Gaultier s/s 2010 rtw collection.
Underwear has been a dominant theme on runways this season and Mr Gaultier is no outcast to this trend who can forget Madonna's notorious cone-bra corset?
The forms it came down on the runway:
the bodice of satin engineer-striped overalls, the military section underneath a green-drab skirtsuit, and again with a pair of shorts during the finale's panty parade. I would have been so embarrassed if i were a model on that runway..Mind you one model really did look uncomfortable and embarrassed.
Ok having said this time to show you the runway show..

Section 1 of the show:
Denims.layered looks.engineer striped overalls..

Section 2:
Military looks.Brights.

Section 3:suits,graphic looks.

Section 4:lingerie looks.sheer looks,sporty looks.

I know some of the looks are a bit out of section but that s the order is which JPG showcased the looks on the runway so...

Lanvin

Video and review from youtube and style.com

"It takes a lot—a gilding of genius, in fact—for a designer to drag several hundred tired, hard-bitten professionals to a bleak industrial shell on the outskirts of Paris, and then send them away feeling ecstatic. That, though, is what Alber Elbaz did in a show that was a bombardment of emotional and visual pleasure. It climaxed in an overload of color, glitter, and originality: the sight of dozens of girls marching, with a furious glamour, along a runway so long it seemed to stretch into a foggy infinity.

The collection was a triumph of breathtaking technical achievement: drapey, pleated jumpsuits in polyester ("like collapsing fabric," Elbaz said); a candy-store array of pink, salmon, peach, and vermilion; a dash of extraordinary fine leather (an unforgettable carnation red dress); and a buildup of encrusted gold sequins and jewelry. The designer didn't really have words to sum up the powerful, slow-building impact of the vision he'd created. All he'd talk about were the technical difficulties of handling the polyester, making spirals of ruffles, inventing a soft, puffy form of quilting for coats, and how he'd ended up layering one dress on another to make a whole.

And, in fact, it didn't open all that promisingly. The first passage Elbaz fielded was in black, with ruffles—the familiar Lanvin aesthetic that is visible in stores worldwide. Only when he got past the tailoring and into the intense passage of developments of plissé (a kind of modern, abstract Fortuny pleating), as well as the navy and mushroom jumpsuits, did the mood lift and the audience realize that something incredible was transpiring. In the end, as the girls—headed by the crop-haired Iris Strubegger and a rivetingly intense Karlie Kloss—walked back into the darkness under a giant Art Deco chandelier, every head in the crowd strained to take in the last glimpse of a collection that will be remembered for a very long time."

Dior 2010 rtw

Balmain s/s 2010



review By Sarah Mower

Christophe Decarnin is the man on whose glittery, highly padded shoulders rests the success of the whole of the mass market as it currently stands. It's a known phenomenon that the cost of a single one of his jackets ($9,000 or thereabouts) could pay for an entire wardrobe of Balmain knockoffs for ten teenage girls, but no matter: He is hot. His models are scorching. And if what he does is the opposite of intellectual, it's also so clever it's simultaneously fueling spending frenzies up-market and down-. In terms of the general sequins-for-day trend, Balmain's influence is visible almost every which way you care to look in a chain store.

For Spring, Decarnin brought out another whammy of a no-brainer blockbuster: disco cavewoman goes to the front. His army of sizzling, sleek-limbed supergirls strode out with huge-shouldered, metal-epauletted military tailcoats. Their T-shirts were tattered, bullet belts were slung around artfully "destroyed," stained, and holed jeans or yet more sensationally minute, hypersexed, raggedy suede and leather loincloths (the term "skirt" hardly covers it). Patching together seventies M*A*S*H and early Versace chain-mailed goddess-dressing, the show moved from camouflage to sequined camouflage to patchworked gold-sequined camouflage without a flicker of irony or the slightest fear of treading on politically sensitive ground. Some schools of thought will condemn that outright. Others will argue, purely on taste grounds, that wearing a belt with bullets arranged in a flower pattern, or a military shirt with shrapnel holes filled in with gold patches is a fashion misdemeanor worthy of ten days in the slammer. And yet, none of that is likely to have the slightest effect on the runaway success of this Balmain collection.

I LOVE THE MILITARY LOOKS AND SHOULDER PADS.
FIND THE CLOTHES HAVE A VERY SEXY FEEL AND I CAN SEE ALL THE KNOCK OFFS AT TOPSHOP ,ZARA,H&M LOL
PERSONALLY I AM A BIG FAN OF GLITERRY SEQUINS SO I WILL DEF BE BUYING SOME IF THE SEQUIN LOOKS EVEN THOUGH MY BANK ACCOUNT MIGHT TAKE A HIT FROM IT!!!
BALMAIN IS LOVE...

BALENCIAGA

this collection was all about sportswear gone urban and every day looks..
Love the feel and vibe.
Bravo N.Ghesquière!!!
