Runway Review: Kimberly Ovitz S/S 2011
posted by
Fashion Review


This marks the first of the many runway reviews to come for Spring Summer 2011. Is is after all, hunting fashion week season.

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.

Trend Report: Couture Fall 2010
posted by
Fashion Review


Nothing spells luxury like Haute Couture.

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?

Runway Review: Helmut Lang Resort 2011
posted by
Fashion Review


Gone are the draped jacket lapels and leather paneled pants in Helmut Lang’s Resort 2011 collection, a design characteristic which has been prominent in the last two seasons that they have came up with.

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?

DIY Fashion Tutorial: Ann Demeulemeester S/S 2010 Zipper Headdress
posted by
DIY Fashion, Featured


Greetings patient ones~!! I know we’ve been neglecting the DIY section although we KNOW everyone enjoys it. We just couldn’t really find the time to make a decent post cause we had stuff to do. *shifty eyes* BUT FEAR NOT~!! We have an awesome DIY for you to do this weekend~!

We’ll teach you how to make your own Ann Demeulemeester zipper headdress, and an accurate one at that down to the number of zippers and darts because we are -that- anal.

This DIY is a little more high-level than the rest that we have done so please read through every single line of instructions carefullly. I’m also assuming that people who attempt this have a basic knowledge of sewing (ie sewing darts and bias tape).

Runway Review: Haider Ackermann Fall/Winter 2010
posted by
Fashion Review, Featured


It’s official, I love Haider Ackermann. Last season, I talked about Phi who manages to impress me enough for me to feature the entire collection in a blog post. This season it is Haider Ackermann who left me tingling with goosebumps as I viewed the runway pictures.

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.
