More Fall 2011 Fashion Week favorites

Marchesa Fall 2011 Ready to Wear
There are so many gorgeous pieces in here, but also some horrendous looking wrecks, with wrinkles and.... ugh.


Proenza Schouler Fall 2011 Ready to Wear
I like the prints but mostly this collection seems off with the construction... I adore the two coats, though (one shown below).


Calvin Klein Fall 2011 Ready to Wear
I like some pieces, but some are too shapeless for my liking... That one coat (posted below) has similar shape to Marc Jacobs' coats this season, non? Colors look nice.


Anna Sui Fall 2011 Ready to Wear
So many fun, interesting prints so well put together with the classic Anna Sui flowy dresses and interesting tights... But a few (although have great patterns) look like a terrible mashup of a 7 year old's doing.


Michael Kors Fall 2011 Ready to Wear
Really not fond of this season's Michael Kors collection at all but it progressed as it went on, to the point that I liked half of the collection after the red dress came out.. I'm usually not enamored by his collections.


Oscar de la Renta Fall 2011 Ready to Wear
Not so pleased with most of the separate-wear, they seem too block-y. Also reflected Chanel's tweed coats and ethnic prints (Proenza Schouler). Once the gowns started coming, though, WOAH! So beautiful, so so beautiful. Ranging from fun bright prints to classic white dresses, the dresses are sure to be lusted after by many. I noticed that the universe (or at least, stars) are a common theme this year: After Christopher Kane had his collection with stars, I've seen many designers this season have at least one piece with stars (not the star shape, but universe stars--that is, glistening white spots on a darker coloured background--) including Michael Kors.

Fashion Week is here!

SO excited!!! I love seeing all the new designs. Collections I rather like so far are:

Costello Tagliapietra Fall 2011 Ready to Wear
This has simplicity and colour. I love the colours--citrus and matches the flow of the material; light and bright. The clothes look well constructed and very wearable.


Carolina Herrera Fall 2011 Ready to Wear
I like the figure of the shapes--that's what's made this collection good for me. A lot of pieces are not very modern to me, but all the clothes are empowering.


Rodarte Fall 2011 Ready to Wear
Again, really like the silhouette of the pieces I like--which are mostly the flowy, long dresses that are reminiscent of the Amish (and of Theyskens at Nina Ricci), but with colour and a lightness. I don't get half the collection (or more), with the geometric boxes that i find rather unflattering to the figure, but the one that I did like the one brown square sweater included below. I like the pants. and the 2 red dresses at the end were simply delectable.


Marc Jacobs Fall 2011 Ready to Wear
Is it possible to like a collection overall but now really like any specific pieces? that's how I feel towards this collection; I get what he was going for and what he was thinking, and I go "YES! YES!" but every outfit has something that I find distasteful. Very very similar to Prada a few seasons ago in terms of lace/texture and the shape seems to be the emerging trend (i love it! but it does look rather... not good). Half the models look so skinny and the other half look like fat beavers


Preen Fall 2011 Ready to Wear
I adore prints, especially colorful but not overbearing coloured ones, so Preen was definitely already on my 'good' list from the beginning. And then those geometric shapes that contained the colors--wow! It seems rather smart to do: colorful print with neutral skirt/pants/blazer, and I love it. Can't go wrong. I adore the front of those dresses, that seem to open up perfectly and are a new thing that make the collection seem new while the overall idea has been done before. Although, my excitement did wane with the collection's passing...
