Sneak Peek! Ann Taylor, Fall '09
Ann Taylor has really stepped it up these days. The retailer adopted a more trend-conscious aesthetic and it recently hired Heidi Klum to be its cashmere model! I'm quite impressed by its Fall collection.
Could Natalia Vodianova Be the New Face of YSL?
Yves Saint Laurent has an impressive portfolio of ad campaigns. They star some of the world's best known models including Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer, and Naomi Campbell. Next season they have recruited another well known face as rumour has it that Natalia Vodianova is to take the reigns.
Banana Republic's Sporty Sleek Spring '10 Collection
Banana Republic is giving me something to look forward to come Spring. Honing in its love for polished sportswear, the retailer sent models down the runway in a fresh collection of denim, chambray shirts, silk tops, moto jackets, refined shorts, classic trenches, and slick chinos. "We’re still a work brand, but we want to have great weekend and going-out clothes, too," said Banana Republic's president, Jack Calhoun.
2010 Spring Paris Fashion Week: Christian Dior
John Galliano started his Christian Dior Spring '10 show with a literal bang as gunshots and theatrical screaming laid out the framework for his film noir-inspired collection. Set against a gritty, warehouse scene, models with wavy tresses and red lips strutted down the runway in an array of sensual, lingerie-like silk gowns, camisoles, peek-a-boo lace dresses, silk shorts, and and beaded gowns. His ode to '40s Hollywood glamour continued with sharply tailored trench coats — a staple then, a staple today — tiered skirts, corsets, and I even spied a couple of ankle socks paired with sky-high sandals.

Fab Ad: Liz Claiborne, Fall '09
Liz Claiborne creative director Isaac Mizrahi has taken his girls back to the streets. For Spring it was Georgina Stojiljković in the city; for Fall it's Coco Rocha in the country. The Canadian model looks so royal, so mature in her long pleated plaid skirt and plaid shirt.
London Fashion Week, Spring 2010: Luella
Luella is definitely a personal highlight of London Fashion Week. Last season was a slight disappointment, but it looks like all is back on track for Spring. The collection included tea dresses with cute Minnie Mouse style polka dots, cut out heart detailing and voluminous skirts.
2010 Spring New York Fashion Week: Derek Lam
Imagination. It's nice to see some imagination. Optimism.
2010 Spring New York Fashion Week: Vena Cava
Vena Cava always does things a little differently. Both in show presentation and clothing inspiration; that's why they are a growing fashion force. Vena Cava was at Milk Studios — where numerous designers are showing this time around — and I arrived promptly on time because I heard rumblings the designers were doing a runway show in lieu of their usual presentation style.
