Garance j'aDoré

I have always loved Garance Doré's illustration posts. Simple yet elegant they are lovely to look at. And these are no exception. Documenting Garance's fashion week frolic with Carine Roitfeld (with whom Garance will soon be collaborating with at Vogue Paris), these images include illustrations, photos, fashion week memorabilia, typewrite font AND hand writing. There is just something so refreshing about hand written notes. I guess in today's society there isn't really a need for writing things by hand anymore, what with blackberrys and the ever shrinking size of laptops, it's just easier to type! I digress. What I mean to say is: I love the design of these images; simple and chic with a lovely personal touch. J'adore.

NYFW SS10 Day Six

Marc by Marc Jacobs

Checks, stripes and African-inspired prints made for a fun-filled collection in many a sassy shade. Models donned mini versions of Louis Vuitton's bunny ears - no doubt induced by Marc's creative work there. Other fun accessories included an assortment of tinted shades, studded bags, bulky bangles and funky sneakers. These bright and boisterous pieces will definietly bring out the bambino in all of us this spring!

Max Azria

It was a minimalistic canvas upon which Max Azria seemed to base his spring summer creations. A sea of neutrals in flowy frames were accented with strategic cut outs and other fine details while basic dresses and suits suprised with delicate embellishments. It's a marvel to see what even a small difference can make to a simple outfit!

NYFW SS10 Day Five

Marc Jacobs

A circus of pale-faced performers pranced down the runway to showcase Marc's spring collection. Many a wacky and wonderful outfit ensued: High fuffle necks with short runched skirts, dewy pastel silk dresses seemingly constructed from teardrops and a barely there translucent dress which gave the impression that it had materialised from the beginnings of a sketch. The playful cutouts and embelished bodices added some glitz to the mix and I can't wait to see some closeups of the handbags! Snakeskin, spots, straps and stings - oh Marc, stop giving! This was one show I really didn't want to end!

Zac Posen

It was a kaleidoscope of colour at Zac Posen's early morning show. Zac took a trip down memory lane, reviving the 60s shift dress with striking shades and avant-garde accessories and fanning the 80s flare with furry accompaniments. Patterns were plentiful with everything from geometric blocks to horizontal stripes, swirly prints to flashy flowers. Zac produced a collection of fun, bright pieces sure to turn heads at any party!

Donna Karan

A flurry of whispy neutrals and structual solids floated down the runway at Donna Karan's show. Simple dresses were upgraded with undulating details while silk swirled freely from beneath drawstring ties. Donna gave the body con look a tiny tweak, further enhancing the waistline with dainty belts. Strappy sandals and slick side-part bobs completed the look radiating a sophisticated and refined aura.
