More! More! More!

I usually like to do a recap at the end of fashion week with all my favorites at once, but I just HAVE TO post these pictures NOW!

Gaultier's collection SCREAMS Auntie Mame to me and I'm IN LOVE!

Also equally blown away by Givenchy. Riccardo Tisci's extraordinarily elaborate ornamentation is awe inspiring.

Viva Vivienne!

Dame Westwood's Anglomania collection was the first to show for S/S Fall 2011 yesterday.

I love the straw hats, the mini-berets, the mini-crinis, the foliage prints, the red-and-white gingham, the corset-belts, the emerald lamé jacket, the trademark sac shoes and bold leopard, the blue eye shadow, the chunky jewelry and those gold brocade waistcoats! I LOVE IT ALL!

The Leopard Lady

I'm not a die-hard Lanvin fan, but a lot of the shapes from Spring 2010 were oddly inspiring. I'm also not really into the color palette nor do I usually go for flowy or asymmetrical cuts, but something about it gave me weird Auntie Mame vibe, and anything that reminds me of my favorite movie of all time is welcome in my life.

For Pre-Fall 2010, I read that Alber Elbaz was inspired by the "leopard lady" who he says is a French woman that he sees all the time in Paris. Apparently she never leaves the house with out her leopard coat, come rain or shine. He also said he wanted to "take all these animal prints out of the jungle and into the chic city".

My favorite Pre-Fall looks.

With that kind of statement I guess I envisioned Auntie Mame meets Princess Tam Tam at a drag show (dream come true), but with the exception of those 3 leopard numbers above the whole collection was really safe and pretty boring. Or maybe I'm just easily bored and want everything to look like an over-the-top circus?

John Galliano Spring 2010 Menswear

I've never followed Men's Collections too closely but because I adore all of Galliano's work I decided to take a peek at his line for Spring. I'm in love with all the egg-like turbans and that Romanesque bust print in the likeness of his face really killed me.
