BECAUSE: "I don't have to give you a Tylenol to feel good, I give you, maybe a red dress, and you feel marvellous."







I may have a mild obsession with nail polish.. I came across these pictures a while ago and thought I would share. If only I was talented enough to do the smiley face ones!


BECAUSE HE'S THE MAN OF THE MOMENT.


Haider Ackerman. All I can say is that his draping was flawless! Will be VERY interesting to see the Dior situation unfold...




So much structure in the beginning pieces, but I preferred the balance of structure and drape he showed in the final pieces. Really interesting structures I had never seen before - I think a mark of true designer (not that what I think should be at all relevant).

BECAUSE OF FAT KARL

BECAUSE SHE'S SO COOL

CHANEL! To be honest, I wasn't looking forward to this ready-to-wear fall collection. After Fall 2010 I didn't really know what to expect, and if fur had anything to do with it (I don't care if it is fake, it is still ugly) I did not want to know about it.



LOVE LOVE LOVE. Mens wear style suit pants rolled up with pointed heels underneath, rugged almost moth bitten classic Chanel jackets and coats layered with tuxedo jackets. The mix of masculine and feminine was perfectly balanced.


Overall I thought there was a good mix of youthfulness and sophistication, things that you could wear forever and things that will be staples for the season. I think Karl did good and in my mind has nearly made up for what he did last year (although once that couture collection hit I was pretty much sold again).
