Nathan Jenden’s Fall 2010 collection was a mix of black-and-white zebra stripes, neutral gray, vivid colors and bold prints.  He sent 24 looks down the runway, each filled with drama and personality.  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 was a playful collection that will hold a lot of appeal with the youthful and eclectic young woman with a flair for the dramatic.

The opening look at Burberry’s Fall 2010 collection summed up the show in total, a model in a sheer dress, thigh-high boots and of course, a shearling jacket.  There is something intrinsically beautiful about the masculine jacket paired with a romantic sheer dress.  Shearlings ruled Burberry’s runway, and relegated the celebrated trench to a supporting role.  Though the trench may not have been the headliner, they showed they were a timeless classic.  They were updated with a military inspiration; my thought, ‘where do I enlist’?  It was an earthy color palette of olive green, mustard, tan, off-white, and grey with burgundy and navy mixed in.  The ultra sexy thigh-high boots served as a pant-like substitute to some of the barely there hemlines.  At the end of the day, it was a stunning collection with pieces we will all be coveting from now until the fall season.
