Erin Fetherston Resort 2011
Erin Fetherston, the new creative consultant for Juicy Couture, has done it again. Her casual but chic resort 2011 collection displays decorative simplicity. The outfits which where inspired by the French film L’amant (or The Lover) contains some dream-girl-dresses that range from above the knee to slightly below and a final knockout trend-worthy number that has her signature sidesling dress with a trailing sheer maxi. This feminine and dreamy collection contained adorable silk blouses complete with a bow at the collar as well as beautiful dresses which were set in a soft color complexion. The fit of the blazers and the trim of the pants show a more sophisticated side of the collection. She topped many of her looks off with a classic white hat with polkadotted ribbons wrapped around. Her offset of the neutral color palette with hues of vermillion was very creative and stuck with her theme of romance and French life. Erin Fetherston’s Resort 2011 collection will have you literally living La Vie En Rose.

Alexander McQueen ready-to-wear 2009
Definitely one of my favorite shows.
Once I heard the grungy-deep bass to an awesome opening song, I knew this was going to be an amazing show. It really set the stage for what was about to come. When the first model walked out it was like stepping into an alien world mixed with the Victorian Empire, an eerie feeling that McQueen always seems to bring his shows. With slow and sassy walks, the models really personified the fierceness and ambiguity of the clothes. Tweed, fur, oversized collars with waves of fabric, leather, ruffles, and darkness galore, Mcqueen and his models did a wonderful job. The big red and purple lips and scrap, debris, and rubbish saran-wraped headpieces contrasted the elegance of each garment and really brought the “freak” essence of McQueen to life. The mixing of different intense patterns showed a very maximal theme. The fierceness of the tailoring on every piece shows the 100s of hours that the seamstresses put into each garment. Overall 10/10 show.
Jason Wu Spring Summer 2012 Ready-to-Wear
I absolutely loved every single outfit. From the clothing to the bags, to the shoes, Jason Wu did a fantastic job with this collection. From the start, I got a more sexy-than-refined business woman kind of feel from the high sparkle covered collared button downs neatly tucked into high waisted shortie shorts, knee length skirts, and floral trousers. I was a huge fan of the sultry strappy heels that tied up the ankle like ballet shoes and the crimson red lips of all the models. The playful prints and materials were phenomenal and Wu really pulled the collection together by mix-and-matching different colors and patterns to create a more visual effect for his clothes. The transition from greys, whites, and blacks, to bright pinks and lime greens, to the deep blues; the mix and matching of various patterns and colors displayed Wu’s ability to incorporate vivid colors into an ultimately censored color palate. There was a huge theme of pleating- classic white tops complete minimal stitching and pleats and pencil skirts overlapped with a pleated hem. My favorite thing Wu did with this collection was the interesting angles of the short in the front long in the back skirts and dresses. See-through, satin, sheer, and chiffon, Wu had it all. Overall collection 8/10.
