Just when I thought my sheer maxi skirts and dresses are too last season, Ann Demeulemeester decided to breathe life into this seemingly old trend. I was so ready to give up on my Cheap Monday chiffon skirt.

This season, Ann Demeulemeester seems to be missing the usually coveted accessories like belts and hair accessories though we’re spotting some (what I think is leather) hats. The choker seems interesting although I really hope to see a closeup picture of it before I decide if I like them. The hats are not really my thing and the shoes seems to be slightly less exciting this season as well.

What I do love is how chiffon flows in such an ethereal manner when you walk. It’s always one of my favorite fabrics to turn to when I choose to layer and it seems effortless how Ann Demeulemeester is doing it here.

Stripes and grids take center stage in the Spring/Summer 2012 collection by Gareth Pugh. He is a pure genius with structure and fabrics, I’ve mentioned this before in my previous runway review for him but he’s taken awesomeness to another level.

It was a beautiful play of sheer and opaque cleverly bound to create perspective with the lines. It was stripey but yet not quite. Well done Gareth, well done.

I don’t know how you guys feel about these shoes but I think that they are just too awesome to be true and I’m dying to have them.

All I can think of is how beautifully clean and minimal this is. This is my favorite T by Alexander collection yet. I want to embrace these silhouettes right away. Now, can we just skip over winter this year?

Then, I had to come across images of the Gareth Pugh F/W collection. My mind proceeds to get blown, constructing memes in my head like “GARETH PUGH, Y U SO AWESOME?”

This model walks like a samurai.

The collection is a perfect embodiment and demonstration of how the colour black is not boring as long as there is a play on textures and silhouette. The use of semi-shiny leather and matte fabric is simply godly.

Gareth Pugh’s style has always been very architectural and balancing the masculinity of structure with softness of drapes has always been his forte.

Sci-fi priest!! Or knight in civvies!!

If it’s a collection to jump-start me out of my procrastination, it has to be good. Thank you Gareth Pugh for getting me on Fashion Week mode.

Hervé Léger took a break from all that bandage details they were so famous for a year ago (which honestly, is getting just a tad stale). It is replaced with belted elements, such as the waist cincher on the left and the wonderful harness neckline on the right. Camels, tans and blacks are still very much in vogue.

Rodarte’s collection is breath taking. I am seriously loving the maxi length coats, I would think they will be one of the big things this fall/winter season. This silhouette is perfection, truly. Rodarte’s collection consists of the same neutral palette – white, camel and black. I think a maxi coat or dress in either of these colours will be really trendy! Unfortunately I don’t think I am tall or lanky enough to pull this off, however tempting it is.

As any Spring collection would usually have, it’s light colours. Nothing surprisingly ground breaking from Complex Geometries but I like that they’ve remained true to their brand by constantly creating exceptional individual pieces that are unique. I am really into that chiffon outer the male model is wearing.

And to all our readers celebrating Chinese New Year, 新年快乐， 万事如意！

Prefall collection this year for Alexander Wang returns him to his roots. Basic androgyny and clean lines. His pieces are so wearable and I’m not surprised to see fashion bloggers coveting them.

Those shoes look pretty comfortable to wear too.

But before I start, I regret to inform you that we will not be reviewing Alexander Wang this season, all because he refused to use black. Yes, he has broken our hearts by doing that. Give us a season to mope about this.

We get down to business with Kimberly Ovitz.

Kimberly Ovitz presents to us this season a collection with very clean lines and geometric blocks. the silhouette is straight with nothing extremely complex. I’ve been lusting for a good shirt-dress since ages ago.

And what’s better than a draped jacket? A long draped jacket of course.

I have to say that I really love the shoes too. I’d probably describe them as slouchy looking hoofs for some reason.

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.
