Loving these looks...

No stranger to color, Chris Benz has put out quite a diverse collection for spring 2010. His use of prints have given us garments no girl should fear, and his reinterpretation of the classic looks have given us pieces that many would want to wear. He played smart and used great dress in smart color choices that walked a fine line between great and bad. Luckily he seems to know what he is doing.

The diamonds in the [rough]...

Alexis Mabille's first ready to wear show was for his spring 2011 collection. He did go a bit overboard with this collection, giving his customers way too much variety and diversity in one collection for any target market to handle. His collection did have a few pieces that I feel would still have great selling power.

Right on trend...

Phillip Lim's 3.1 spring collection had some great dresses that created a very layered look, and it was done very well. These dresses seemed easy to wear and he gave different designs that give a great variety for his target customers.

Precise progress...

Martin Grant's spring 2011 collection was all quality over quantity. His collection consisted of 23 looks, but when the next is as great as the last then who could complain. No fillers needed. Each piece had a bit of what people want to see this spring and what they want to wear to. His colors were well chosen and everything refined, and he gave great diversity in a smaller collection. Overall I would say it was a knockout.

Spend on these trends...

Badgley Mischka always puts out a good mix of clothing on their runways from formal to everyday looks, and this held true in there spring 2011 collection. Usually their formal looks are the ones that catch my eye more, but this year it was the ease in their everyday wear that I liked. It really captures that springtime feeling featuring all the up and coming trends and colors.

Spring ahead...

Vanessa Seward's spring 2011 collection for Azzaro had a sense of youth I hope we see a lot of this spring. We saw a lot of mini dresses for spring from Azzaro, is this something we will be seeing a lot of from more designers? If the result is dresses as wearable and versatile as these I sure do hope so.

Summer is looking good...

With all the new resort collections coming out Jason Wu's 2010 resort collection was filled with many pleasantly surprising details. I couldn't chose one element I was truly pleased by the collection as a whole. He made good print and color choices, I liked his silhouettes and style lines. For such a young designer he is already making such wise decisions. We can only wait to see what he does next.

Another great season...

Celine's fall 2010 line has added yet another great collection to their already esteemed history. This season Celine had plenty of coata for fall that were assymetrical and historically based. The colors were neutral and well picked. Also another great choice were her trims, she used lots of dark leathers and lace.

The wait is over...

One of the new designer's I could not wait to see more is out with her fall 2010 collection. Jen Kao has made some changes and most of them have been for the better. I liked her interpretation of what women should be wearing this fall. She took traditional fall time fabrics and matched them silhouettes we don't normally see when it's cold. Just add some tights and these new looks can last you from early fall through to the end of the winter.

Dreaming of gloomy days...

I love a good coat, and for fall 2010 it seemed as though Phoebe Philo kept on making coat after great coat for Jaegar London. From jackets to oversized and quilted coats, these coats could easily make one wish it would rain soon.
