Rodarte Fall 2008 Collection; New York, USA. (February 5, 2007) Presented by Global Fashion News in High definition. The Mulleavy sister's otherworldl [more...]y creations continue to mesmerize and delight us. For fall their obsession with Asia continues, with the designers seeking inspiration from an unlikely source, Japanese horror films. The result was a spectacular combination of translucent layering and the most beautiful punk ballerina skirt dresses and elegant degrade gowns you’ve ever seen. There were striking gauzy "slasher" dresses in black, white and blood red representing the gothic romance of Hayao Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli films and pale nude dresses of sheer nothingness embroidered with braided yarn. Other pieces in the collection included lighter than air, full-skirt gossamer cocktail pieces, fitted coats, sexed-up zip pocket pants paired with gauzy multicolored sweaters, each made of twenty different types of yarn. All worn with super high, 6 inch Christian Louboutin Mary Janes with spiked studs and straps that wrapped around the ankle and left the models teetering, adding to the ballerina effect. Their almost neurotic obssession with layering and exquisite craftsmanship is their calling card and it’s hard not to fall for a fairytale spun by Kate and Laura Mulleavy. - Gianna Madrini, Style Editor, Global Fashion News. http://www.globalfashionnews.com/

Alexander McQueen Fall 2008 Runway; Paris, France. ( February 29, 2008)
For Fall Alexander Mcqueen handed his spellbound audience a beautiful fa [more...]shion fairy tale of a “Girl in Tree” who meets a prince and transforms into a queen.
Inspired by British Colonialism, McQueen created the loveliest British and Indian inspired couture dresses imaginable stirring them into an incredible fashion fantasy. References to Queen Victoria, the Duke of Wellington and the Indian empire were whipped into ballerina dance dresses. Each dress was more exquisite than the last as in a crinolined strapless white chiffon dress with delicate black lace overlay embroidered with a pair of delicate peacocks whose beaks met at the neckline with their tail feathers fanning out over ivory tulle. His colonial velvets and ermine coats were regal beyond belief interspersed with impeccably tailored and rigorously cut military tailcoats and jackets worn with high neck blouses or over dresses. A strapless empire dress in white chiffon fit for a princess was wrapped and knotted around the body with jewels dripping from the model’s forehead. Alexander McQueen's show was breathtaking, not only in it's beauty, but it's excellence. It undoubtedly surpassed anything I’ve ever seen. The music alone was heaven, blending Mozart, Hadyn and Nirvana as the backdrop. McQueen’s brilliance as a designer is unmatched and his star has never shone more brightly than in his utterly romantic and stunning Fall 2008 collection. - Gianna Madrini, Style Editor, Global Fashion News.

Burberry Fall 2008 Runway; Milan Italy. ( February, 2008) Presented by Global Fashion News. Christopher Bailey's gorgeous fall//winter collection rev [more...]olved almost entirely around his extraordinary coats, in rich, luxe couture-like fabrics with a new sense of volume and proportion. Guided by a poetic romance that was influenced by British artist L.S. Lowry, Bailey’s rich palette of jewel tone colors in olive, emerald and moss, coppery browns, amethyst, and kingfisher blue ushered in new kind of winter dressing that smart, chic and uniquely modern. His coats came in every style from rounded shoulder coats to cocoon shapes and over sized trench coats rendered in extravagant fabrics of cashmere, felted boucle wool, fur and leather in curvy shapes with gathered yokes and raglan sleeves. Coats aside Bailey's other pieces were equally significant like a tiered round neck shift dress, tulip dresses with puffed sleeves or a baby-doll tunic worn over skinny, silk, trumpet flared trousers and towering platform shoes. Topping off the clothes were a number of must-have accessories including fingerless smoking gloves, the coolest knitted hats and spectacular chunky oversized necklaces of cut glass. The incredible jewelry alone leads me to believe that statement jewelry will soon replace handbags as the must have accessory for Fall 2008 and into Spring 2009.

Prada Fall 2008 Runway; Milan Italy. ( February, 2008) Presented by Global Fashion News. Miuccia Prada's Femme Fatale Fall 2008 collection is intensel [more...]y feminine and dignified with a wicked subversive visual element. Prada stripped down her designs to a select few shapes using Guipure Swiss lace to create a long lean silhouette punctuated by the transparency of the lace worn unlined for the catwalk. Pale colored body suits fill in the space between different cotton and or wool Guipure lace of considerable weight, mixed at times with lighter, finer lace. The texture of the lace does all the talking - Using just two skirts and a shirt to change the proportions between A-Line skirts or high waisted pencil skirts. All worn with fine turtlenecks and collarless cropped jackets. Hips are exaggerated with detachable padded belts. "I wanted to do minimal, something that was feminine and strong - but in the end, not so sexy” Prada explains. The sexually charged tension between being covered up and revealing what’s underneath made for a powerful presentation. It was a gorgeous feast of lace and one of my favorite top 10 collections for fall 2008 says Global
