Burberry... Going off to Milan

CONCLUDING LONDON

Burberry

Loved it!, Breathless, fashionista as God is, exactly got my point (the one I pointed out in the last post)

Amazing Christopher Bailey has come out a little bit out of the tipical, Burberry was no longer a classic shaped/color monogamy. STILL kept the elegance, the soul of the brand, that very brit wave of .. young but classic, chic but relaxed; and definitely took those jerseys to another vibrant fresh level. We saw the dimensions of the pieces, filled with rich fabric, we get the sense of equilibrium when we contemplate the outfits, the colors diverted the clothes. We see these "emblematic" pieces glowing out of this essence, cause each peace almost can't handle being so simple and fabulous at the same time. Loved it, breathless, is how you should describe spring burberry.

BCBG MAX AZRIA

The best word that comes to my mind to describe the sparkle of the show is maybe... predictable. As it went on, of course Max Azria didn’t fail us, and gave us some very cute and perfect short dresses, as always before, about them you just can't go wrong with BCBG. I do have to say that the long dresses were beautiful, very classic chic. We saw some pieces with very vivid colours, but a great deal of the collection was dark, black. With exception of a few very beautiful impressive pieces, the rest of the collection, as said before was unrelevant.

I think we need a little bit more creativity, Oscar de la Renta said that he knew what his market was about, and knew what they wanted, it's the same people that has been there all along his career, his collection is beautiful, well he IS Oscar de la Renta, chances are he WILL do, among some other classic labels, something you'll want to dress in your wedding day. But, seriously people, there are a bunch of designers out there, and it seems that they all want to be accepted playing it safe. Before, I thought that I didn't like 100% Fall Winter Marc Jacobs, it was beautiful but not something you can dress on the street I used to say... Now I think that flips like that is what we need to see, a whole new era is made of those kinds of turns. I think that every label is made of an essence that has to be kept alive cause it's the soul of the industry, and I'm definitely not saying that we should go back to the eighties crazynesss (funky colors and funny shapes that sometimes were simply uncomfortable), I'm simply suggesting creativity out of those terribly artistic minds, that we know are capable of doing so much more.

Zac Posen

Very colorful! , Vivid colors!, like it has been quoted before, it's became a young woman iconic couture. For the first time in Zac Posen history, we start looping at a young man’s Collection (style.com), since he’s always been characterized by being really classic. I think I understand Zac's evolution: in my seeing, he's a very talented designer, capable of impressive, shocking and aesthetic significant pieces of clothing. Also, logically, if he's capable of such things, he can also definitely put up a simple, geometrical show. I think, all these years, he's tried to gain a certain level of trust among the fashionistas by putting up classic shows, and believe me he was damn good at it, but finally we see him pulling some original sign style. the shapes are perfect, if you yourself like design, you can really appreciate the geometrical dimensions that make this such an harmonic... spring harmonic, collection. What I admire the most in Zac, is that he is really daring when he makes his collections, even in the classic shows, there are some crazy pieces, but it is he same man's creativeness than make some other pieces just perfect.

It's Fashion week NY, and everyone who's into the fashion industry is very excited about it. First of all I want talk about Fashion's Night out, for those of you who don't know what that is, it's a shopping party night, in which a lot of fashion and retail stores keep their doors open 'till late, it seems that the fashion capital it's been or about to be rocked out every day of this week. There are a bunch of parties going on and stuff like that. By the way, I really liked the commemorative shirts. Since the main objective of Fashion Week is for the designers to illustrate us in their new accomplishments, we will today talk about Alexander Wang. 

  

The Alexander Wang 2010 Spring Show took place yesterday, and I'm honestly having a hard time finding out how I feel about it. The runway started with kind of like a sport look, most of the clothes were minimalists (colors and shapes) and square, and some others were playful with stripes and shapes. Some of them very well put together, balanced, but I consider that in a few of the outfits, the pieces didn’t agree with each ot

her, if that's possible. I think the collection has generally played it safe with the colors (black and gray were used a lot), I thought they would be more vivid, since it’s a spring collection, but Alexander among other designers have decided to break that propensity this year, of course, not falling into the extremes; and I’m really happy for that, black and gray have a lot more to offer in May than people think. I also noticed some north american folk indian pieces like brown leather vests and jackets.  

Among the things that I liked, there’s this white dress, that, for me, stands in a perfect equilibrium, it transmits effortless simplicity, that simplicity that is interpreted as high class. I also liked the leather shorts, and again we see the eighties come back, with strong shoulders.
