Patrick Robinson (former director at Perry Ellis and Paco Rabanne) followed up a less-than-exciting collection for Target’s Go International with a new, more exciting collection for GAP, some of which is pretty rad. I really love this plaid dress in particular. I’m not to keen on the overall styling of these outfits (puffy vests, J-Lo hats), but you get the idea. Better than your normal GAP attire, no?
Ahh… It’s that time of year. Fall Fashion Week. I feel like designer’s collections really shine for Fall/Winter, because they can do more elegant pieces, create more layered looks, and create a more serious mood with their collections. This season I’m seeing more of a compromised silhouette; a compromise between the sack-dresses and babydolls that have been so popular for a while and the more form-fitting silhouettes that came before (and are soon going to be back in vogue). So far the only two collections that have really stood out to me are Rachel Comey and Yigal Azrouel’s collections. Here are some key looks that I liked from the two designers. I will post more as Fashion Week continues.
I like these two new pieces from Alex & Chloe:
(the latter image is almost identical to a necklace by Campise, however I like the contrasting oxidized chain on this one)
This is the most beautiful jewelry line I’ve come across for a long time.
Arielle De Pinto’s pieces are crocheted with various metal chains. For sale here.
Dries Van Noten can rarely ever do wrong in my book. His men’s and women’s collections are always impeccable due to his meticulous attention to detail in print and embellishment.
I’m not very fond of this collaboration as a whole, (the bodies are mediocre, but the graphics are nice)- however, this 80’s inspired oversized graphic tee is definitely something I’d wear with some skinny jeans and boots.
I just looked at the Nina Ricci Pre-Fall collection and I am in love. I like it so much better that any of their past few collections. The colour pallette is so delicate and subtle, and so are the designs… (with just enough detailing to make them interesting).
Generic in the most elegant way possible, this line has the loveliest and most basic shoes for men. Hope there’s a Generic Women’s line in the works!
