This Fall, we’re looking at our favorite labels in the Fall 2010 Collections and picking out the trends.

With the exception of Christian Dior, most of the collections in the Haute Couture Fall 2010 spotted earthy neutrals and blacks, going back to the most basics and elegant of hues.

We are also seeing a lot of sheer fabrics being used, with designers playing on the diaphanous qualities of organza and chiffon.

Alongside translucent fabrics like those mentioned above, we’re also seeing the use of opulent laces and embellishments.

My favorite has to be the sheer cage dress from Valentino. It’s positively girly and I’m loving the bows.

Which is your favorite dress this Fall 2010?

There is the socks+sandals combination which most people still have issues with, but I have more issues with this model’s eyebrows not matching her hair colour. :/

I really love the pleated waistline of these pants although the length doesn’t appeal much to me.

I like the whole relaxed feel that the collection is giving. On their own,they’re definitely pieces one can picture themselves wearing.

Overall, not very exciting. Let’s hope the new Spring/Summer 2011 collection won’t disappoint.

The capri length of these pants seems to be prominent lengths across most designers in the Resort 2011 collections. Not quite a big fan of it but draped details are always welcomed.

I like that the silhouette is clean and minimalistic, it really doesn’t take much to be stylish.

What I really enjoy seeing is this almost celestial looking print that i see on both Helmut Lang and Ann Demeulemeester’s S/S 2010 collection. I might even contemplate a DIY on this effect if I do figure it out.

To summerise, Helmut Lang doesn’t give us anything shocking this season, not that it is not to be expected but there is a general shift from its usual silhouette. The simplicity of it is rather boring, nothing really stands out or allows me to sit up and say “I WANT THIS!!! ” The look of this Resort collection seems to be rather achievable from purchasing items from street labels.

What do you think of this collection? Yay or nay?

Following the popularity of the brand amongst fellow fashion bloggers like myself, they have managed to come up with yet another exciting collection.

The essence of this collection remains true to the core of their design vision, creating beautiful pieces that can be worn multiple ways.

I absolutely love the long grey outer and I’m dying to get my hands on them once they come out on the website in Fall.

More pics after the jump.

The sculptural beauty of the entire collection left my jaw hanging. How beautiful yet how absolutely raw it all looks together. I’d imagine each individual piece being able to be worn differently.

Leather is definitely one of the key fabrics used this season. Laser-cut leather? It’s definitely a level higher.

The collars are draped to perfection, we’ve been seeing all kinds of draped collar this season (Helmut Lang, Gareth Pugh, Ohne Titel etc) but Haider Ackermann takes it up one notch by featuring billowing waves of leather wrapped around the neck which changes however the wearer wants it to look. Pure genius.

And I haven’t even begun raving about the zippered corset belts. Some of them were deliberately left undone with such careless grace that makes them even more covetable and eye-catching.

And this last dress is truly golden. I’m full of praise for this collection. Definitely my favorite out of all the runway collections so far.

I can’t believe I stopped at NYFW. There is so much to catch up now. Woeeeeeeeeeee.

So anyway, halfway between coming back from London and getting my ass to blogging, I developed some sort of an infection in my throat with medications that made me feel nauseous. I was basically sleeping most parts of the day akin to a Koala bear. I much prefer being productive. True story.

ANYWAY, I digress. Gareth Pugh. UNF.

When I first saw this collection it almost jolted me off my seat. I feel that this is one of the most wearable collection that Gareth Pugh has came up with so far. Also, leather as we all know, is sexy. It is also a bitch to sew. I do not envy whoever has to sew all those panels of leather together.

And I think we can all agree after looking at the countless runway pictures so far that jackets with big draped lapels will be all the rage in A/W 2010.

I should mention that I have a weakness for distressed knits, this look above just nailed it. Again, with us and the many dark crusaders of fashion with a penchant for wearing black, our options are limited to playing around with textures. I believe Gareth Pugh has demonstrated to us that Black is definitely not boring. It’s just a play of shiny and matte, textured and smooth.

And CHAINMAIL DRESSES.

Do want.

My previous post suggests some boredom in seeing the same colour over and over again, it could be because I have too many runway reviews to write. I should be happy there’s more trends for me to pick out this season. Oh the irony~

Back to the collection, Rad Hourani gives us slashed leather pants, which I like. I also spot multiple neckline openings which means that they can be worn multiple ways. I like that too.

Then there are these exaggerated lapels, oversized really. I usually spot the less amplified version on Helmut Lang’s collection. I can’t argue who does it better but I like them both.

What I didn’t feel was the shiny spandex leggings/tights which I refuse to show the picture here. They look synthetic-shiny, like costume spandex you buy off spandex world in the NYC Garment District. Do not want.

Ohne Titel gave us a stimulating union of sheer and opaque. Mesh and leather goes well together.

Okay fine, I would actually like to take back what I said about boring, these paneled tights are what I need in my wardrobe right now.

Draping details are once again spotted, it has proved to be a long standing detail seen in many collections so far.

That aside, I believe your collection this season have fulfilled many girls’ matrimonial wish to wear Rodarte for their weddings. Good job.

However, this collection is a mish-mash of prints I do not understand. Then again, I’m not a very print person to begin with. Either way, this season’s collection somehow “not quite Rodarte” but at the same time, it is. How do you explain this ironic statement of mine? I don’t know either.

The neutral tones and interesting textures reminds me of this Japanese street brand called h.Naoto. They have a sub-line called Gramm which garments are made up of a mix of different fabrics and prints.

Not a plug, but this is their site, you can go compare it.>>> h.Naoto webstore go look for the line called “Gramm”.

I like how the dresses are wispy and almost fantasy-like. I even like the ghostly pale skin and smokey silver-grey eyeshadow.

Looking at the closeups, Rodarte has incorporated similar details from the dresses to the shoes.

I am a little confused by the embroided organza pants. I like how it is being paired up with the rest of the outfit, but I honestly can’t think of another way they can be coordinated.

Love the wallpaper print on sheer fabric.

Multi-layering of socks and tights make for my favorite shot of the details in this collection.
