Haider Ackermann

love the skirt!

My Favorite!

I am in love. Haider Ackermann, just wow. I don't know what has been inspiring him this year, but after a great fall show I seriously did not know what to expect from this one. The desinger shocked and awed once again!

He stepped away from his signature darkness and brought us pops of color. The layering was just genius, the outer wear, the mix between the feminine and the masculine was spot on. I am usually not a fan of the menswear look but this was done so well. Maybe it had something to do with the plunging necklines but it was more than that, it was the execution. 

A great all white suit, a mix between the teal and lime, the gorgeous leather jackets, and my absolute favorite look? The silver ensemble, a plunging neckline, dark charcoal pants, and a silky layer  streaming across the body.
Ackermann brought a whole new aesthetic to the world of casual, amazing work!

LV LV

Love the colors

This is over due I know! But to all the Canadians out there: Happy Thanksgiving! okay, now back to the fashion..

This season at LV I felt like I was in an Alice and Wonderland world. Everything was in candy colors and buttons were exaggerated, with plenty of dropped waists. The whole collection's elements were something reminiscent of what you may see in a little girls room. The workmanship however was far from it, there was a lotta organza, cut-outs, and a dash of feathers. I feel like with this collection Jacobs was feeling a little nostalgic, it is a woman's solution to reconnected with her youth in grown-up world.

There Jacobs said to style.com that he "wanted something gentle and kind" And that's exactly what he did. Jacobs makes a statement with every season, he manages to craft his own look that is different season to season. Before it was "lets go back to the 1950s" and now its lets go back to your childhood. The colors looked like candy, the shoes looked like various pieces of twizllers (in a good way- whatever that means).

Overall, I loved it! Jacobs made the show lighthearted, fresh, cute, and ever so high fashion. It was weird, the theatrics that were absent from the Galliano runway seemed to make it here. The drama was there, the thinking outside the box was also there. There is no doubt Jacobs would do great at Dior but I just love what he's done for LV!

Color Shock at Elie

Kinda looks like Angelina Jolie's Golden Globes dress

Color Shock was the name of the collection and it was indeed a shock. Elie normally known for his red carpet stoppers for Hollywood starlets did not fail to deliver this season. The designer started with a palette of nudes and pales and then went into the oranges, the greens and yellows. Each look could definitely stand alone but they all looked like a unified collection.

There was a lotta lace, lotta of sequins and a lot of fabulousity. This collection was a great one to close the Spring 2012 season with. This will for sure translate into many a Media hit and great sales. Great job Elie!
