CHANEL-O

 Beautiful. Here are some of my fav picks from the stunning Spring/Summer 11 collection from Chanel.

 Chanel always entice me with their nail colours,everytime they bring out a new one i'm hooked. I am the biggest fan of Particulière and the Black Satin and now with the new Riva colour, they have got me again. Also loving the subtle pinks in the lipsticks, and the amazing metallic eye pallette which was actually used in the SS 11 show. gorgeous colours for Spring.

 It was a really great opportunity to see the SS11 accessories up close, there was so much going on and the details were stunning.

 Thought this ring was divine.

 These laser cut leather gloves I particularly liked, I thought they were interesting and unusual but still wearable.

Ann Demeulemeester - Spring Summer 2011

Ann demeulemeester this season is incredible as always.

The shoes, the textures the shapes, the monohomatic pallette, the simple but striking hair and make up styling. I love it.

The half skirts drape beautifuly like ann only knows how and the assymetric buckle and bib features are to die for.

Also loving the soundtrack for this collection, a strong and powerful song for an equally strong collection.

Gareth Pugh S/S 2011 Film with Ruth Hogben

So this is the new installment from the amazing and very talented GARETH PUGH.

Again teaming with Ruth Hogben for this S/S 2011 film I must say its not quite what I was hoping for. I LOVE Gareth Pugh to death and I have loved previous films made with these two collaborating as you can see how the clothes move and it has been crutial for the realisation of the collection, but as for this one; as beautiful as the collection is, I was left feeling hungry for more detail in the clothing, wanting a closer look at the incredible shoes and longing to see the ever amazing styling by Katie Shillinford. I think the video is really interesting but I just need more!

Alexander McQueen Autumn/Winter 2010

From the late Mr Lee Alexander McQueen, his last collection presented. 

The pieces that are there are stunning as usual but with a ghostly air, the dresses in white are beautiful; the shapes and the hints of grey and silver is simply gorgeous, the shapes of the red and black pieces to begin with are unmistakably McQueen and the boots with crystals on the bottom are absolutley amazing.

The colours of the collection are a lovely mix and the strong use of gold makes it feel very royal.

A great innovative British designer who will be greatly missed, RIP McQueen.

Givenchy Autumn/Winter 2010

Givenchy always pulls off that sleek Autumn look with a few details to make your mouth water.

High necks, crystalized gloves, gorgeous boots, lovely fabrics and hints of reds and olive greens amongst the black and nude.

Interesting shapes for the men; particularly the leather jacket and skirt combo,

and the mixture of sheer and heavy fabrics is stunning.

Ann Demeulemeester Autumn/Winter 2010

After receiving my first Demeulemeester piece in the post yesterday morning and finally seeing my most anticipated collection of the season, it did not fail to amaze.

Gorgeous feather and braided leather rope accessories, leather and fabrics draped like only Ann knows how, slick hair and make up, and hints of red, and gloves and boots finishing the completed look.

Super excited about going back to Antwerp for the second time this Easter to check out the stock sales!

Haider Ackermann Autumn/Winter 2010

Absolutely stunning collection by Haider Ackermann this Autumn/Winter.

A firm favourite of mine for this season; beautiful shapes skimming the body, muted colours of browns, greys and blacks that make you melt, leather and heavy wool fabrics moulded into glorious shapes, intriguing laser cutting, chic simplistic styling with divide boots and belts.

All in all there is nothing to dislike whatsoever!

Would love to know what music he had for the show..?

Gareth Pugh, I Love You.

Gareth Pugh presents us with another stunning collection this Autumn/Winter in Paris.

One of my absolute favourite designers, I love the way he uses fabric, and his palette of blacks and greys is always amazing. 

The mens and womenswear glide effortlessly together and the mens skirts are gorgeous and chic. The leather panels are fascinating as is his slashing details. 

His show styled (of course by the great Katie Shillingford) was ultimate perfection, from the leather gloves to the blackened, charcoaled models heads and make up and the knee high shiny boots tying the whole look together.
