Light on my Feet


I was never a ballerina, but if I were, this would be my outfit of choice.

Girl with a Monogram Handbag




Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 07/08 Collection.
Classy pieces with a mix of romantic designs.

I couldn't really get a good look at the handbags, but from a far, none were too impressive.
Loved the shoes, though.

Make you do a Double Take

When I first looked through the Chloe F/W 07 collection, I found it a little short of amazing. So I took a closer look at the shoes and accessories (very signature Chloe) and I looked through the collection again, and then it began to grow on me. Specifically, the orange, sheer, drop-waist dress just got me. Orange never looked this good and feminine. The asymmetrical-strap dress was also a darling piece reminiscent of what was earlier this week from Costume National (bonus: the dress has pockets).

All in all,
Designer Paolo Melim Andersson has omitted some of the usual frilly Chloe looks that people know and love, and instead, brought a harder, young edge to his designs (similar to his days at Marni). I'm intrigued; not so sure about the brand loyalists though.

Short and Sweet

Stella McCartney's Fall/Winter 07/08 Collection was just adorable! All her pieces looked so effortlessly feminine and chic. Nothing was overtly trendy; everything truly looked classic and timeless, even the hot pink jumpsuit. I'm not one to wear jumpsuits but this one just looks well-tailored and amazing. And, of course, the shoes. I couldn't take my eyes off them. They were simple but yet stylish (especially those pink t-strap ones at the bottom right - too cute!)

Criss-cross



Costume National Fall/Winter 07/08 Collection. Very sleek looks. Bold colors. Some designs a bit military-like. Strappy necklines (love!). All of these have made Costume National stand out just a bit more.

Brand New Colony


Givenchy's Fall/Winter 07/08 Collection. As a whole, I liked this collection. Although I couldn't do the dramatically ankle-flared pants (not shown here), everything else seemed wearable. I loved the mix of dark blues and black. Such a great pairing. A military-feel seemed to be an underlining theme to most of his designs (especially the jackets), but yet, Riccardo Tisci managed to keep it soft and feminine.

Oh well

Balenciaga's Fall/Winter Collection did not impress me much. I kinda thought it was all over the place. There's layers of clothing, but even if you take it apart and wear them as separates, they just don't seem that exciting. Hmm. For a much-talked-about designer, I expected more.

Plaid Done Right



A few designs from John Paul Gaultier's Fall/Winter 07/08 Collection included these great plaid pieces. Yellow plaid is always great - eye-catching and adorable. Also, the form on these pieces is great. It fits in all the right places.

Glamour



My picks from the Christian Dior Fall/Winter 07/08 Collection.
It's all about glamour with the Dior collection. I never pay much attention to the label's designs. They usually don't connect with me, but who can resist glam like this?

Westwood

Vivienne Westwood brought life to Paris Fashion Week. Besides Asturo Tayama, everything so far has been booooring. But Vivienne Westwood has created a great fall collection that consists of cute pieces with perfectly cut jagged edges. Layers and layers of goodness. And oh, the mix of colors - they are just right.

Go Mod





Atsuro Tayama Fall/Winter 07/08 Collection.
This collection has Twiggy written all over it. Not sure about paisley tights with a paisley dress; a bit too matchy-matchy don't you think? But as separates, it could be great.
