what did we think: S2010 RTW

thoughts on (a few of) spring 2010 RTW shows...
(or what i do at work when there's nothing else to do...)

[images chosen mostly as personal favorites of collections (except for derek lam)]


(like the jacket on img 1, outfit of img 2)

alexander wang: loving the neutrals, beiges, greys and browns reminiscent of an older and more traditional amercian university time; odd corsets and different shapes; where's waldo?; repeat and repeat and repeat....; soo....schoolgirl fetish?



cushnie et ochs: shiny shiny; clinging curvy cut outs cohering; form fitting; tailored tight flesh and black party



shipley and halmos: pattern used well that i like; models are actually incredibly distracting in this lookbook; fond of loose jackets, fond of simplicity and slightly belonging to the uniqlo aesthetic...(?); where's waldo again?




derek lam: why retro? reminiscent of past being out than past being in; hodge podge bright turquoise, starry starry and floral everywhere; older cuts, older pieces, older...hairstyles




thakoon: varied patterns put together and done well; mix of colors make for soft but still energized; pinned and then flowing, flow and then pinned

what did we addict ourselves to

grey palette - by charisp on Polyvore.com

polyvore set #1 grey palette
elizabeth and james jacket
rag and bone oxfords
rag and bone jeans
rag and bone scarf
alexander wang bag
alexander wang tank

polyvore (thanks to janice for the recommendation) could very easily consume all my time. it gratifies the online shopping desires.....especially for things i could never afford. and would covet. amy says this set is almost exactly like what i already wear. but clearly a much more expensive collection of it. and i doubt i dress quite this way.
