PFW: Alexander McQueen Fall/ Winter 2010/ 2011

PFW: Chanel Fall/ Winter 2010/ 2011

John Galliano, Alexander McQueen and Karl Lagerfeld are designers who present their shows monumentally, with chic and splendor. Of course they cost lots of money and take many efforts but they definitely become memorable. Don’t you remember McQueen’s monster show? Or last season’s Chanel show with all that straw and playful activities? Yes, you do! And you will remember the Autumn/ Winter 2010/ 2011 show, too. Why? Because I bet you have never seen so much ice and water in Grand Palais.

PFW: Vivienne Westwood Fall/ Winter 2010/ 2011

Dame Westwood wouldn’t be she if she created something that was ordinary. She is always very extravagant and her works make us feel surprised every season.

For Paris Fashion week the designer focused on the bluestocking young lady and footpad theme. Extremely colorful and unusual outfits were modelled on the show with girls sometimes looking funny and playful and in other times strict and even threatening.

Although garments seemed to have been made from old fabrics and worn-earlier clothes we know that each piece was actually the result of Westwood’s creation, an elaborate piece that costs lots of money. Plenty of knee-length dresses looked pretty and eccentric but some were definitely wearable. There were lots of prints of any kind, from flowers to stars and even crowns. By the way, some models wore crowns on their heads – flamboyant and huge, adding an ironic touch to the collection.

PFW: Christian Dior Fall/ Winter 2010/ 2011

The new collection for Autumn/ Winter 2010/ 2011 by Christian Dior unveiled during Paris Fashion Week was all about femininity and luxury. Airy fabrics and flowing designs looked very womanly, while chic fur and leather details added to the glamour of the line.

Sheer materials couldn’t hide beautiful lingerie underneath. And some underwear pieces were even worn as outwear, this makes us believe John Galliano suggetss wearing this trend for one more season. Sumptuous leather coats looked great. I liked the colors of those very much: saturated burgundy, brown, orange – together with trendy thigh-high boots they looked fabulous.

Accessories this season were nice, expecially classy hats that made the girls look very elegant and sophisticated. Bag range was huge: from big and roomy totes to tiny beautiful clutches. Generally speaking I loved the collection. The only thing that didn’t attract me were the stokings with frills.
