Victoria Beckham Fall/Winter RTW 2012

Victoria Beckham aka Poshh aka iconic Ferosha is pregnant with her fourth child, but she says she finished her Fall collection before she found out. The fact that she loosened up her silhouette more than ever before and pushed the draping, is merely sweet synchronicity... That the new Posh!

Mixed in among her signature body-loving hourglass dresses (this season in bright shades of SAFFRON, MAGENTA AND VERMILION, and featuring curving seams that shape the torso) were a pair of blouson minidresses, one in an iridescent honeycomb jacquard and another in a kingfisher blue matte gazar. Their cocooning shapes will be a boon as her baby bump grows. Continuing in the relaxed vein, she showed a few outfits that looked like draped cashmere shawls belted over fitted pencil skirts. But it was an illusion~

Also new for Fall were coats. But whereas elsewhere she was thinking loose and liberating, here she was all rigor and precision... The toppers were cut in structured wool, and their stand-up buckled collars notwithstanding, they were the opposite of tricked-out. That's fine with Beckham, for whom the classics have always trumped the trends...

What will she do for an encore next season?? Pantsuits, maybe? After this first shot at tailoring, they seem like the next logical step for a designer who, ironically, given her celebrity status, pays closer attention to her clients' real-life needs than many of her peers. It's an approach that continues to pay dividends...

How can you beat the boldness in her fabulous world?? She's soo fierce, better watch your bag!

But I hope she have to be more careful as all her clothes are very-her.. I mean, the clothes are not just for her, its for the customers..

FEROZITY!!

Christian Siriano Fall/Winter RTW 2012

Its New York Fashion week fever for the fall/winter 2012 ready-to-wear...

As you know, Christian has been famous since the winning of Project Runway s4 and his funny and cute personality and his trademark FIERCEE fashion became the most-awaited in New York and his fan all over the world..

2 days ago, Christian's fashion showed on the New York Fashion week and it was hmmm honestly, it is fierce but this collection was fabulously too referential like Givenchy, Lanvin and McQueen and the first look exactly like Chanel.. If you have seen Siriano last season collection, you'll found him with couture-ish trademark no matter how ready to wear are the clothes...

The show began in a Tisci-tinged dark and edgy way, with tailored jackets pieced in various textures of black over sheer skirts, before turning a corner into less-fresh-looking ladylike suits and coats. Throughout the collection, you could feel the negotiations between these opposing sides. Amid stark but chic looks like a long tulip skirt with a lean black turtleneck that had shades of Spring Jil Sander, there was a dowdy attempt at elegance in the form of a suit with a portrait collar and awkward ruffled skirt.

The usual OTT gowns showed up, but were slightly subdued. One massive petal-pink ball skirt was paired with a simple gray silk tee to chic effect. And a moody-hued orchid-print organza cocktail dress with a pretty swirling drape that ended in a rosette on one shoulder was a very nice détente. Whether Siriano's show will become a hot ticket for the fashion set remains to be seen. His point of view needs to be more finely honed and distinct for that. Nevertheless, this was a step in a better direction.

And quite slightly this is not a very Christian Siriano collection compared to the rest of his work.. Iy just don't look like him.. Just saying..

He reached his peak with Spring 2010 and who knows if he will rise again with another fabulous collection like what he did last seasons..

but those pictures are my favourites ofcourse, I love the colour palette with a twist of the green .. I need to be supprised more! OHMYSIRIANO! all models trip! @9:16 @11:10 @11:23 @12:10 @12:26..

Did he get a bad runway? or a bad luck? Poooooooorr models with amazing shoe!! and the shoe looks a like McQueen!

Thoughts?

John Galliano 2011/2012 Menswear

The well-known Christion Dior's designer, John Galliano a British fantasy-outfits-maker this year without surprising me, his fall/winter menswear was quite good as usual.. but honestly, Im not really satisfied, dont judge, but my eyes are soo hungry of fashion especially the menswear... Then his inspiration was ballet + russian cultures with splash of colours and a bit of sparkles...

Although, ballet is enjoying a cultural moment, high at the Ballets Russes exhibition at London's Victoria & Albert Museum, low in the campy horrifics of Black Swan...

And in the white tights, guess who?? My baby boy LACHOWSKI! ;)

Tipping his cap to the trend, John Galliano ambitiously settled on primus ballerinus Rudolf Nureyev, a figure who effortlessly bridged both extremes. And this time, the ever-changing drama of Mother Russia provided the backdrop. So the show opened with a harried horde of Russian emigrés in great big coats, tufty shearling, and military jackets (more tips of the cap to flavors of the moment)....

Then Nureyev defected to the West and started wearing tightly tailored pantsuits and caps as a curious analogue, all the while working himself into a lather at the barre... That gave Galliano the opportunity to parade sweat-soaked workout wear on Simon Nessman, though the model was surely grateful to be wrapped in a chunky puffa...

The final passage of eveningwear garbed the dancer for glittering, embroidery-crusted nights on the town in the kind of Cossack finery that would once have been catnip to Galliano. Why, then, did it feel less than exuberant???

In fact, the whole show had a flat, low-budget feel. That wasn't even induced by something as banal as commerce compromising creativity... More likely, it was a simple matter of Nureyev himself not being such perfect fodder for Galliano after all, too real perhaps to sustain the kind of blinding fashion fantasia the man has unleashed on us in the past when's he looked to the Ballets Russes for inspiration....

Thats my thought, you can compare this show with his last season show.. trust me!

Im sorry, I couldn't find a good quality video in youtube...

Dolce and Gabbana 2011/2012 Menswear

Ohhhh my DG!! This is my favourite one.. soo colourful and gayy :D and the models are soo delicious...

Frizzante! Buzzy fun has always been the serving suggestion of D&G. The audience members may be the type to sip Coca-Cola Light, but Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana know a big-flavored, high-calorie kindred spirit when they see one. Echo the shirt that opened the show, blaring a commandment that would repeat... "ENJOY COCA-COLA!"

There was a schoolyard cast to the collection, with its fitted blazers, repp ties, and corduroys... Those cords came in the same curious shape explored at the Dolce & Gabbana show earlier in the week... low rise, drop-crotch, and pegged skinny through the leg. Or maybe it's more accurate to say things had a truant tinge, since these were clothes that likely as not would get your knuckles rapped in class.

You'd have to be brash to try, as the collection's notes had it, "the whole color palette," with brilliant blues, yellows, and grassy greens piled on all at once. Dolce and Gabanna even designed their own Day-Glo take on the ultimate young man's accessory, casket headphones, made in collaboration with Skullcandy...

You couldn't help but smile when, at the finale, the boys poured out all at once in graphic tees and high-top sneaks. They looked like so many brightly colored candies. Maybe that's another reason D&G's counseling Coca-Cola. Legend has it no good can come of mixing Pop Rocks and Pepsi...

And there's my boy, Francisco Lachowski, the super-cute-penistard!

And ofcourse these are my favs and the fur jacket!!!!

Dsquared2 2011/2012 Menswear

Have you watch bareback mountain??

ohh hell you must!! I cant believe the gay movie inspiring the gay designers with the gay theme and gay models :) Just saying... LOL

The church-y version of "Come As You Are" that opened the latest Dsquared² show underscored the mash-up of pioneer spirit and grungy guy that Dean and Dan Caten imagined for their new collection. The result was so chaste by the Catens' own porn-chic standards that the show had little of the life that once made their presentations the campy high point of fashion week in Milan, and the collection disappointingly followed down that enervating spiral.

The identi-kit models in their wide-brimmed Borsalinos, prim spectacles, and clerical black and white looked like Southern Gothic preachers and they hurried by like appropriately possessed.

So you sat back to analyze the items that will fuel the Catens' burgeoning global fashion empire. Lean, mean monochrome tailoring; skinny denims; judicious use of black leather detailing; hints of luxury in fur trims; and crystal-beaded waistcoats. It may just be enough to seduce their fan base, but today it felt like slim pickings for everyone else....

You have to love them, how creative is that??

and ofcourse, these are my favs...

Versace 2011/2012 Menswear

Who doesn't love her? righttt, non :)

With her latest men's show, Donatella Versace returned to Via Gesù 12, the spiritual and actual home of the label in the center of Milan. The move was very much in keeping with her refocus on Versace's iconic elements, an approach that is crystal-clear in her womenswear. That same focus has yet to manifest itself in the collection for men, however.

The initial stern monochromatics—the leathers, the white shirts and skinny black ties, the pointy boots—definitely had the angular Teutonic edge of a particular moment in early-eighties Berlin. So did the gray-toned jacquards that cropped up later in the show. But the stated theme of the collection was in fact 3-D, which is about as 2011 as you can get.

It manifested itself to a degree in the optical knits or the surfaces that were raised on knits and leathers by quilting. The 3-D leathers reminded Donatella of Versace menswear from another era, which was apt, given the setting. And, seeing as we were pondering the past, the cobalt blue double-breasted coat also sparked a memory of a time when the Versace man bestrode the catwalk like a fashion colossus. The blue-steeled modern counterpart on today's runway was a pallid simulacrum....

I feel now every designers were went sahara desert touring the Camel and dive in deep ocean cobalt blue and drank the red wine and burgundy... have you noticed that??

Yeah, my fav 8 outfits, love the colours :)

John Richmond 2011/2012 Menswear

Okay, lets fly with me to London :)

As I said, Im getting love fur-bulous now... And I spotted on John Richmond 2011/2012 collection and 1 word, fabulous.. I told you before that I want to be suprised, now Ive to admit, soo far Ive suprised with few mens collection especially my fav season Fall/Winter.....

English-born designer John Richmond has, like America's own John Varvatos, often designed with music in mind. But his latest collection, inspired in part by the MANCHESTER POST-PUNK SCENE OF THE EARLY EIGHTIES, felt a step off the beat...Hahaa

Austerity versus luxury for "the modern machine age," the notes had it...

That amounted to baggy, boot-cut pants, shiny suiting, and cutout leathers, many accessorized with sparkling rhinestones, velvet, and in line with a curious number of designers this week-dense patches of fur. There was more of a nineties brashness than an eighties edge, but either way, there wasn't much that was fresh!! a fair bit was downright tacky.

Joy Division and Iggy Pop ("Nightclubbing") banged on the soundtrack, but the best things here were the ones that felt farthest from the club... The handful of hooded, fur-lined parkas, for instance—the sort that are quickly beginning to emerge as a Fall '11 staple...

The pictos, my favs!

Z Zegna 2011/2012 Menswear

Im not really sure about Z Zegna, but I found the collection is very mesmerizing especially the colours and the construction that is just well-made and ofcourse the modernizing on the detail of the clothings... His name is Alessandro Sartori..

The backdrop a black and white film that tracked vertiginously through an abandoned industrial site, established a film-noir tone that made a perfect complement to Alessandro Sartori's new collection for Z Zegna...

In their boxy jackets and pleated, tapered pants, his men might have peopled Raymond Chandler's mean streets. Couple that dark, filmic style with Zegna's futuristic fabric technology and you've got… ermmm… future noir?

"Like watching characters of the past in a modern setting," said Sartori. He pointed to the "icon" of the collection, a leather jacket in which the skin had been digitally needle-punched to a cashmere flannel lining. With no need for glue or stitching, the process loaned a seamless, almost neoprene feel to leather that will now never grow old. It also guaranteed a silhouette with a superhero bulk, narrow at the waist, wide at the shoulders. Everything the modern night crawler would crave.

One remarkable thing about Zegna's tech is its subtlety. Sartori was excited by the new three-piece camel suit, two jackets layered over a pair of pants. The top jacket was waterproofed, though you'd only know it when the hard rain fell.

Ultimately, though, all the fabric research in the world won't get you anywhere if you're not making clothes that a man would want to wear, which is where Sartori comes in. His designs have a strong, broad-shouldered, masculine line in a straightforward palette of gray, loden, and camel. The seduction was in the details as I said, the way a blouson sat on the waist, the pleat of a pant, the plaid, the perfectly judged proportions. And those futuristic leathers… the essence of Gattaca or Caprica on a catwalk...

Its beautifully made and I lovee all his jackets! and ofcourse, these are my favourites..

Alexander McQueen 2011/2011 Menswear

Lets start with our late most creative-of-fantasy designer, Alexander McQ.. I know we all sadly suprised with his death, but the company doesnt stop to impress their loyal fans by McQ's apprentice designers, like Sarah Burton.

See enough shows in a season and you'll likely tire of the same old faces trooping up and down the catwalks with ticktock regularity. They're walking coat hangers. But every so often, there's a show where the model casting adds so much to the mood of the collection that you're left wondering why more designers don't step outside the box of the mannequins of the moment.

It happened with Alexander McQueen tonight. The face of each model was such a complement to the clothes he was wearing that the English quintessence of the collection was strikingly reinforced. For all anyone knew, the guys might have been from Kentucky or Kazakhstan, but dressed in McQueen, they were rough trade for Oscar Wilde, or military cadets from the Napoleonic Wars.

The genetic blessing of bone structure and Guido Palau's spic-and-span public schoolboy hair had something to do with the effect, but ultimately, it was Sarah Burton's clothes that enabled the models to communicate a sweep of English man style.

Burton projects McQueen's historicism and romanticism with an almost scary effortlessness, but she brought her own irreverent openness to the collection, the track pants \paired with oversize military-influenced outerwear being one example. There was camp drama in those coats—and in the big plaid poncho. If that felt like genuine McQueen-iness...

One jacket was as soft as a cardigan, another had a firm, squared shoulder, still another was peaked, pagodalike. Burton has her mentor's eye for precision, and for print, too..there were engineered jacquards that duplicated the sheen of a regimental breastplate.

To some eyes, they also suggested celestial clouds, which is scarcely an association one would care to dismiss. And these photos are some of my favourites :)

Fashion week for Fall/Winter 2011/2012

Im sorry for the late entries for this few days has been soo wild in my schedule... School has been my very first priority cause this is my last senior year.. and my chance to embrace my wings...

Jean Paul Gaultier for Hermes

Now all fabulous designers ready to knock the tights off!! and the funny thing is that, Brunei still in the mid monsoon, cold nights cool days, rain all the way...Fall/Winter is my favourite season after all. I know some designers disagree with this, as they thought, there is no colours in Winter or fall, the colours are muted and blablabla..

Honestly guys, you cant blame the nature, they're the one who gives you the tone of colours from inside and out of you from the mother of earth.. And the other half, some designers are proficient and more skilled in creating masterpieces for the fall winter by genius ideas, from the bold colours to fur-bulous..

What Im expecting for this season especially in 2011, this is kinda rare, but Im looking forward for the MENSWEAR... I know, Im just a regular fashion blogger that are still in budding root and I know I dont have that first-rate-excelly-fine english, all I want to be expected by SUPRISE ME.. That's all!

Fall/Winter? Lets get started!
