Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2010 runway show was a reunion of the supermodels in Paris. Laetitia Casta, Bar Refaeli, Adriana Lima and Elle Macpherson walked the runway, and they looked fantastic. Curves were in fashion this season in Paris. These clothes were made to fit the bodies of real women; they had a grown-up [...]

My fantasy dress pick for the 2010 Oscars would have been this Balmain Fall 2010 runway look worn by Kate Hudson. Alas, neither the gown nor Ms. Hudson were present last night.

The first thing you noticed about Balenciaga’s Fall 2010 collection were the colors, a beautiful sorbet of flavors. Like a sorbet it cleansed the palate of the shows that came before, there were no sparkles or bling to distract us from the quiet beauty. Next fall we will be treated to orange, lime, [...]

Gareth Pugh’s Fall 2010 show had the audience in anticipation for the show to begin, the lights flashed as though they were lightning from the heavens. Each look could have come straight from the future in intimidating black leather and chains, even if the leather were buttery soft. Dare I say I felt a bit of fear and apprehension upon [...]
Prada’s Fall 2010 collection was a case of the present revisiting the past for inspiration for the future. In this instance it was an expedition to the 1950’s, a simpiler time that is often idealized in film and television.

The former creative director of Diane von Furstenberg only used models of color on the catwalk. Asian inspired hats were showcased throughout the show. It [...]
J. Mendel’s Fall 2010 collection was all about luxury, think luxurious mink stoles, jackets and vests. The furs were divine, and the gowns breath taking with wonderful movement. All the ruching on the dresses were done to perfection. It was a youthful collection, and that point was reinforced by the hemlines that fell at mid-thigh. J. Mendel [...]
Davidelfin’s Fall 2010 collection had a parochial vibe from beginning to end, but there was nothing provincial about it. Upon careful inspection, I noticed the red soles on the models’ feet, they were wearing Louboutins. Even the Gossip Girl crew wouldn’t mind abandoning their designer duds and donning Davidelfin’s runway looks. As far as the [...]
My first thought upon seeing Toni Francesc’s Fall 2010 collection was of Lieutenant Uhura of Star Trek. Yes, it was futuristic sexy. The collection had strong structured shoulders, some even angular like the hair. Visual projections onto the walls completed the sci-fi effect. All of that could not distract from the beauty of the clothes. Mini [...]
Tibi’s Fall 2010 collection will give the younger set something to cheer about come fall. It’s for the 20-something woman on the brink of finding herself a more grown up look without sacrificing youthful style. The prints give the collection depth, simple solids would have voided the pieces of personality. In this case, the fabric selection was [...]
