Nicolas Ghesquière always seems to reinvent his designs and his fall collection for Balenciaga was no different. The clothes were beyond haute couture and completely futuristic echoing images of a cosmonaut and space odyssey. I loved the mix of textures and colors and the printed tops that seem to unfurl out of zippered skinny salopettes. It was a scientific yet organic look with zippered wings coming out of the back of dresses. The shoes looked like seventies formica blocked at the heel. I just love Nicolas Ghesquière and everything he does. So here are my favorite looks and a great video from style.com!

Dries Van Noten Fall 2010 RTW

An amazing collection. Dries Van Noten was a mix of grand couture pieces with simple casual street wear. I loved how DVN played with proportion and volume, layering slouchy knits with longer extravagant skirts and belted trenches. He showed really relaxed tailoring that anyone could wear. I was menswear mixed with burst of femininity. I loved the washed out military fabrics and how he juxtaposed them with classic fifties and sixties silhouettes. One of my favorite shows so far.

Soft

An April 2010 Vogue Australia editorial featuring the lovely Rosie Tupper photographed by Nicloe Betty. The photos are so soft and Rosie looks so demure. I love the lace and fringe mini dress she wears and the satin skinny trousers. There are a lot of great looks in this editorial so enjoy!

Liberty

A great editorial from Marie Claire Italia March 2010. Featuring Mathilde Frachon photographed by David Belevere. I love how ethereal the photos look and the 70's vibe in the styling. The butterfly necklace is a must have!!
