Vivienne Westwood Red Label Fall 2010 RTW

London Fashion Week has arrived, and with it Vivienne Westwood! The collection had Vivenne's iconic punk meets couture signature plus some sort of climate change political message as models walked wearing tees sporting the phrase"Loyalty 2 Gaia". The collection sported some great shirt dresses in Westwood's beloved tartan, an amazing tribal blanket coat, and my favorite a strapless dress in sequined leopard spot. The heart shaped lapel on her little suits were a nice touch as was a pink tartan wrap around the waist of a shirt dress. I don't know exactly how the collection respected mother earth, but liked it simply out of loyalty 2 Viv. So here are my favorite looks!

Street Style

I'm loving the layering in this outfit. I love wearing leggings with a long tee and jacket and this girl seems to have mastered the look. Plus her scarf is amazing and the boots add to a really great color pallet.

My Favorite Models of NY Fashion Week

Monika Jagaciak. The Blogs have appointed her the model of the moment. She seemed to own Fashion Week, walking at almost every major show. Plus she is only 16 and deliciously skinny! She opend at Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, and Ralph Lauren. She closed Ralph Lauren and Herve Leger.
















Natalia Vodianova. A seasoned pro and fashion heavy hitter looked great last week on the runway. Although she only walked two shows, she opened and closed them both at Alexander Wang and Diane Von Furstenberg.


















Karlie Kloss. The Fashion world seems to be going gaga over Karlie. The 18 year old has an amazing walk and medusa gaze that rules the runway. Although she did not open any shows, does she really need too? She is the face of Hermes and Dior and has Vogue editorials in spades. She closed at Carolina Herrera.

Ralph Lauren Fall 2010 RTW

Ralph Lauren's fall show was truly ethereal. The models floated down the runway to a haunting rendition of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" and Fleetwood Mac's "Sister's of The Moon". Lauren had some amazing edwardian tailoring and great romantic floral prints. There were many a puffed shoulder and jewel-toned velvet tops which added to the bohemian feel of the collection. Some of my favorites were a fitted charcoal herringbone jacket and suede tunics with leg-of mutton sleeves sashed at the waist over leggings. The was clearly an equestrian theme throughout some of the collection that mixed masculine with feminine. I loved the idea of layering floral print long dresses over lacy long-sleeve tees and his accessories were divine and added to the collection's mystic, a treasure trove of beaded necklaces, beanies and fingerless lace gloves. It was a mix of bohemian artistry with classic Ralph Lauren prep.








Here are some of my favorite looks plus nymag.com's video of the show:

Trend Spotting: Furry Feet


Fur is all over the place lately, from Louis Vuitton's foxtail purse charms to classic coats. But the new trend seems to be fur on your feet. Michael Kors (pictured on the left), Ralph Lauren, J.Mendel and Zac Posen all used fur on shoes at their 2010 runway shows. Perfect to stomp on the hearts of PETA!

Avatar Invasion


Avatar seems to have invaded March's Vogue. Grace Coddington clearly had Pandora on her mind as she styled Daria Werbowy in some amazing tribal patterns by Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Rodarte, Balenciaga, and Proenza Schouler. Daria, photographed by David Sims, is channeling her inner Neytiri with tribal body paint and archer's quiver. Now if only the film couture in 3D.

Perfect Pallet

I love seeing people staying fashionable in cold weather. I love her play on colors with a touch of mustard, how it's close to the body with the wool leggings and her bag gives her look the perfect touch of luxury. Loves It!
















Same here. I love the colors. Plus I love the short over long trend. I like wearing a little jacket over a big coat or a biker jacket over a long cardigan. I've seen this trend a lot lately over at the sartorialist.



















Taylor Tomasi-Hill

Senior Marketing Editor @ Teen Vogue. I'm loving her style. Her photos frequent the street style blogs and I love the belted layers. Just Belt It! Is what I like to say.
p.s. I really hope she is wearing leg warmers on her arms
