Fashion brings peace!

Masha Markina, Laine Rogova and Svieta Nemkova in Marchesa, New York.
A lot of people seem to have the perception that Marchesa only had one big bang in fashion and that was when the high-end American label was first established by Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig in 2004. Since then, it stayed in the same spot. Well… Despite what everyone says, I still like their pretty collections. It’s hard not to find it irresistible, no?

Ieva Aniulytė, Nataliya Gotsii and Kelli Lumi in Luca Luca
After seeing some of the most extraordinary work in London, Milan and Paris, New York Fashion Week just seems dull. Luca Luca used to be one of those interesting houses for me – fresh and innovative. That was back in 2003 though, when Milan-born designer Luca Orlandi was still in the house. Well… Nowadays, presence-wise, the American label just feels weak and I can see why from this collection.

Liu Wen, Yulia Kharlaponova and Frida Gustavsson in Roland Mouret
I was pleasantly surprised when I spotted an Asian face opening Roland Mouret’s Spring/Summer 2010 Show. That just comes to show the fashion world truly appreciates all kind of beauties from all corners of the world. Viva la Difference! Liu Wen was the name of the Chinese model, who graced Mr. Mouret’s glamorous runway as first face. Dressed in a deep V-necked dress in champagne gold with glimmering excess jewellery, Ms. Liu lighted up the illustrious runway with her grace and seductive Eastern appeal.

Nichola Cyzy, Frida Gustavsson and Shu Pei Qin in Luella
Honestly, there was one point in my life when I feel that I am too old to wear Luella. So undoubtedly, during that time, my virtual life on the web became Luella-less. However, today, when I ponder upon pictures from Luella’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection, I came to that point of realisation: Luella might be cute and sweet and prim and proper, but that does not mean she is monotonous or age-specific at all. Namely, cute and sweet and prim and proper are not priviledged to young girls only, because the Luella girl is full of life and pleasant surprises.

I usually like Narciso Rodriguez’s vision, but this season, perhaps not so much.
Karlie Kloss, Erin Heatherton and Liu Wen in Narciso Rodriguez
Neon and sparkly seem to be the key trend for F/W 2009/10. I am fine with the sparkles, because I do believe it could look great if executed correctly. What I am not so sure of is whether these eye-popping candy-like colours go so hand in hand with Mr. Rodriguez’s own aesthetics. Despite all efforts, all I see in my eyes is plumpness on the runway.
Aline Weber, Constance Jablonski and Diana Farkhullina in Narciso Rodriguez
What I like are the tailored trousers, the camouflage pattern and the shining metallic chest-plate infused into Mr. Rodriguez’s signature look. It is a tough look perfect for tough times.
Erin Heatherton, Ali Stephens and Raquel Zimmerman in Narciso Rodriguez
Overall, I feel that Mr. Rodriguez is back onto the fashion radar once again with high profile clients’ support, especially that of Mrs. Obama. So no matter what I say, I think his collection this season would do ok and oh… did you see those hats pulled over the eyes with holes to see through it? It is a rather odd and almost-alien-like look, but seriously, I am sure they would soon be embraced by Hollywood stars, who yearn to be suddenly anonymous for 5 minutes or so.
