Louis Vuitton Fall 2010

I am very attracted to this collection for many reasons, but mostly because it is so 50's New Look! I love the tiny waists and the big, pleated skirts. I especially love the leather skirt because it gives such great texture and the weight of it is so unexpected for the shape. I also love the color palette, I think muted tones are going to be big for fall. I love all of the textures in the fabrics and the mix of those fabrics in the garments. And I love how boobs are a big focus, they couldn't show them off then, but we sure can now!

Alexander McQueen Fall 2010

Sorry I'm so lame and just getting to this now....

I have two words to say about this collection...ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING. And I'm not just saying that because it is the last and final collection from Alexander McQueen. I have always been a fan of his work, but lately it's been blowing me away, and this collection is no different.

I love the color palette, the gold details, the pleating, brocade, spiked headdresses, chiffon, draping, and basically everything else. I love how ornate it is, and romantic, all I want to do is walk through huge gardens and give gorgeous men meaningful glances.

This collection might not be as striking as his last collection (the reptilian one), but it is definitely not insignificant. It may be more demure, but it is not quiet. It is dramatic, well crafted and truly speaks to McQueen as a designer.

I am so sad that this is the last we will ever see of his work, but this post is not melancholy. It is a celebration of his genius.
