spotlight: collette dinnigan

so i know i said we were done with spring 2010 rtw updates but i came across a line i just had to share. Collette Dinnigan has had her own line since the early '90s, but i didn't know much about her....so i looked her up and man has this woman done a lot. she was born in New Zealand and began her career in Australia. it took little time for her to become an international success and she soon became the first Australian designer to have a full scale runway presentation during Paris fashion week. she has accepted countless notable fashion awards in Australia as well as internationally. even if you've never heard her name you'd most likely recognize some of her looks because she has dressed celebrities like Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie, and Naomi Watts.

i've always been impressed with her clothing and this season's runway was no different. I love that she is able to create the common looks that every woman loves (professional, flirty, glam, etc.) but with something different, or something extra. Her clothing is beautifully made and the attention to detail is obvious.

you're fashion lesson is over for the day, on to the pretty stuff. (but at least you can say you learned something, right?)









brilliant, right? you can thank me later.

spotlight: christian dior

My last spotlight for the spring 2010 rtw comes from the genius of john galliano. i usually like the clothing on the christian dior runways, but rarely do i LOVE it. this spring line is flawless in my opinion. you can always expect amazingly beautiful flowing dresses from this designer but i was really impressed with the jackets, skirts, and the accessories. i loved the mixture of soft colors with strong metallics...this show is future meets flapper. sexy but space-like. paranormal nancy drew. okay....maybe i'm taking it too far. if you like what you see you can check out the entire line here.








i love how light and comfortable everything looks. i love the cute sheer socks paired with super high heels. i love the colors. i love the belts. i love the necklines. i love it all. i'll take one of everything. thanks.

spring 2010 RTW pt.4

the final installment is here and it almost saddens me. i spent a lot of time looking through over 160 runway shows and i'm already looking forward to the next season's shows. i hope all of y'all out there have enjoyed this wrap up and have discovered a new favorite designer or an awesome pair of shoes that you just can't live without...because really, that's what fashion and this blog is all about, introducing you to new things you can't possibly comprehend not making your own. i truly love fashion for so many different reasons and i hope you've enjoyed looking at my interpretation of the many genius fashion designers out there. I've got one more spotlight coming but after that it is back to normal posting and trust me i've got a lot of stuff to catch you up on!

(i wasn't a giant fan of the whole barnyard theme of the Chanel runway show but the clothing didn't disappoint. i loved this dress but there were a few other looks i liked that didn't make the list. the printed tights are awesome and i actually like the clogs and i NEVER like clogs. oh karl lagerfeld, you have the key to my heart.)
