Versace Atelier Spring ’09

Written By on Feb 27th, 2009

Can you believe Versace couture used to look like this circa 02′ – 04′? Now fast forward to 2009. Another divine collection. Loads of ruffles and sheer this time, and the fabrics are a lot lighter than previous season’s.

Anna Sui’s show is always enjoyable to watch. The energy, the cute clothes… everything, especially the wonderful casting. Since Steven Meisel casts for Anna Sui, the chosen ones who got to walk the show are obviously, the ones he like. This is the latest showlist: Agnete Hegelund Agyness Deyn Daisy Lowe Du Juan Eliza Cummings Hanne-Gaby »



Mary Katrantzou Fall ’09

Written By on Feb 25th, 2009

Amazing. Last season, she put jewelry-inspired print on dresses, and now it’s all about perfume bottles. Mary K’s signature art-deco and chunky jewelry are real statement pieces, you don’t need to put on any accessories or standout items if you wear them. Prints are all the rage these days, but these are prints that have thoughts put into them, artistic and »

Julian Louie has been getting a lot of buzz for being an apparent protégé to Francisco Costa of Calvin Klein, who worked very closely with him for his last two collections. One thing bad about being named as a ‘protégé’ at such an early point of his career is that people might either expect too »



Some thoughts on NYFW

Marc Jacobs, Marc by Marc Jacobs The collection is very reflective of who he is now. His work has grown with him. Once upon a time he is famous for making cute clothes, but these days it’s more explicit and literal. Interesting that his aesthetics change as he himself transforms. Fall 09′ is actually a »
