SS2010... My top ten.

Spring/Summer 2010 the lowdown! my top 10

So this is my first ever blog. so im all new to this.. just want to share my love of Fashion to the world.

I really enjoyed following the SS 2010 season and this is just a tribute to the designers i think did outstandingly!.

part 1
in no particular order.

Lanvin

. loved Lanvin this season!(as always) genius... especially Vladas' green embellished piece towards the end. in this collection there was alot of soft draping. all of his garments look like they grew on the body as there are no seams in sight! takes alot of workmanship to create one of his clothes and they are amazing!.

.the show stoppers were the polyester jumpsuits, and his use of colours the peach, vermillions, corals, the emerald like greens. fanastic!

. Alexander Mcqueen

Saw Plato's Atlantis (well tried too) on the fantastic website ,SHOWstudio.com... got on there the show started and. crashed. stoped alltogether... However...

Amazing season from him... those prints. you wonder how they come about? not only that the Shoes each one went from strength to strength. the first set were like heads of sea monsters and looked very heavy to walk in. art none the less. and my personal fave the last ones which were like sea monsters again... but like they were growing around the foot so many beautiful colours as well blacks deep marine blues,petrols, whites. when i saw them close up i thought straight away they remind me of the skeletal wreckage where Ursula from disneys the little mermaid lives.

but amazing collection. amazing.

(see what i mean)

.Bottega Veneta

Tomas Maier, creates some of the most beautiful clothes in Milan alone. and this season was no expection. with the concept of children returning home from karate lesson you seem a bit conspicuois but in his hand, beauty is made. the pallette was very neautral, whites, creams with touches of colour done in soft belts to resemble the karate belts. and towards the end beautiful chiffon gowns which seem almost un cohesive with the collection, but what are so beautiful. it doesnt matter.

.John Galliano

Johns Galliano collection for this season was one of my unadulterated favourites. with the main theme concept of the 1950s film noir Sunset Blvd. and the forgotten silver screen actress Norma Desmond. it was an instant hit... one of my favourite films and inspiration for my Foundation FMP. the wya he layered dresses over other garments and jackets over dresses. it was a catastrophic mess, but it was beautiful.

Very 'Galliano' with his famous bias cutting, a yellow dress worn my magdalena at the end was a hit. but detail is everything with his collections, form the hair to the makeup to the shoes to the set (which was a fantastic laser runway with giant musky bubbles). pure theatrics.

.Rodarte

Kate and Laura mulleavy excelled themselves with thier apocalyptic collection for SS 2010. they two melted primitivism and futurism in a way that only they can. using fabrics such as chiffon, cheese cloth, plastics, cobwebby knits, merging them together to create beautifully contructive conceptial clothing. with gothic influences, and arm makeup fit for a tribal warrior. all in all this Rodarte season was a strong, influential collection that keeps me on my toes and eagerlly awaiting thier next collection and being able to see the clothes close up in stores.
