I can see in colour

Okay I'm back with a vengeance...2010 is really something- the drama is endless...We lost our Alexander McQueen (R.I.P Lee "Alexander" McQueen), there was the earthquake in Haiti and Chile and murders increasing like there's no tomorrow-- I'm really starting to think the world might be coming to an end! Life must go on I suppose, we'll get past this.

I'm going to leave the explanation as to why I wasn't here and jump straight into, this seasons shows!

Dame Vivienne Westwood....I'm always on and off with her purely because some shows I don't particularly like, I believe that Westwood's garments always play off the idea ugly/unusual can somehow be beautiful! I really do appreciate what she does as a designer but I'm not always so into it. I'm half and half with Vivienne's 2010 Ready to Wear Fall Collection, I love that she appears to have drawn inspiration from that rural sort of persona-- you know? like the milkmaids or the Amish people? Maybe not. I do really love how Westwood has played with colour, texture and volume in this collection- large feminine layered country dresses with bold patterned socks, ruffled skirts complimenting black lace and beautifully patterned tights and also statement t-shirts. The choice of make-up is equally as interesting- I mean....Is that a moustache? Seriously? Haha! I really do love the dramatics, the smeared lipstick and the heavy eye shadow-- it actually add to that persona we associate with Westwood. Another job well done, the collection is playful, definitely something we won't see anywhere else in quite the same way.
To see the collection go to:



Designer, Gareth Pugh is also a name I'd promised myself to keep an eye out for all I can say is he's done it again!!! It's like a sort of Batman meets Star Trek, meets sexy cyborg kind of union...It's beautiful!! You can just see the amount of effort and thought that has gone into the collection, it is well crafted, clean and associates itself very much with pretty sculptural shapes.
