So it’s Labor Day, the day we view as the last day of summer.  Now we can start thinking about our jackets for fall.  There are great options for fall 2009.  The military jacket will play a substantial role in your wardrobe this season; D&G, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Luella Bartley and Moschino all provide you with wonderful choices.  There are sufficient glamorous looks to keep you looking sophisticated and fierce as well.  Take a look at the video and start planning your list now.

Today we bring you Christopher Bailey, the creative director of Burberry.  We are treated to an interview with the designer giving us insight into his creative process.  When you learn more about a designer and his thought process with a collection, you walk away with a better understanding of the clothes.  That should be the overall goal.  The consumer is more likely to frequent a designer who she understands, and even more important, one she feels understands her.  ”There’s  something very effortless about the Burberry girl”, she is relaxed and elegant said Bailey.  He is very gracious and gives a lot of credit to his design team.  Take a look at the video to hear more about the Burberry girl directly from Christopher Bailey.

In anticipation of fashion week in the four major fashion capitals, I thought it would be interesting to hear the designers speak about their clothes and inspiration.  Today we will hear from Matthew Williamson.  His explosive use of color in his designs has singled him out for praise.  It’s easy to spot a Matthew Williamson piece, think bold color and prints in a sexy and feminine cut.  In this video interview from Net-A-Porter.com, Williamson discloses his mother’s role in his decision to become a fashion designer.  If you are a fan, you will want to see this interview.  It’s always thrilling to see someone who is passionate about his work, and this is evident in Mr. Williamson.

Temperley London Spring 2010

On Friday we talked about the new lower-priced line for Temperley London, well consider this to be part II on Temperley.  We could not resist bringing you a short interview with Alice Temperley from Net-A-Porter.com.  First, it gives us a look at the original Temperley line, and thus a glimpse of what the new line may look like.  Second, it is always good to hear from the designer.  I love learning about where they get their inspiration, and it’s always interesting to hear them speak about the woman who wears their clothes.  The mini interview does not cover the diffusion line, but it does give us a little insight into the designer.  Check out the video, and then begin your countdown to the launch of the diffusion line  for spring 2010.
