where the devil is

detail shots from Limi Feu

frankie morello

Yes yes, very nice. Full-length moto trench, harnesses, zippers. The leather jacket in the first look is pretty Balmain-esque, but I'm very attracted to the whole look overall, including the bottoms, which are essentially see-through thermal pajamas. The second look is also quite nice - moto jacket with embellished shoulders, hoodie-dress thing going on over it, half-gloves. Look, it's all very on-trend, maybe a little contrived, but I don't care. I like it, I'd wear it. I'd even wear the hooded trench with the veil attached to it (not pictured).

Bora Aksu's Fall collection is kind of... perfect. Delicate confections wrought in pastels, like elaborate sugar flowers. It's difficult to even describe the details of these dresses, the spidery overlay, the textured knits, the piping. I only wish I could find more detail shots.

Aminaka Wilmont, Fall 2010

Ugh these prints are good. Just look at the enlarged photo above (left), it looks like the formation of a gaseous planet or the mist rising off of some glacial pool. I wish I could get bigger pictures, see the fabric in even more detail, take the dress dancing. I really like the black satin at the left chest bit of the dress, it gives it some...stability?

preeeeeeeeen

For the first time in a long time, Fashion Month has rolled around at a time when I'm not completely burned out on fashion. Normally I wait for the entire thing to be over before I even begin to look at the new offerings, which puts me way behind the fashion curve (oh no!). Anyway, I like what Preen has going on for fall: the very structured bustlines with draping coming off them, slashed stuff, heavy wool fabrics - the second and fourth dresses look like a very expensive cashmere coat. I just sort of want to rub my face in them. (Too much?)

well look what we have here

Proenza Schouler Fall 2010

Why Jack and Lazaro, you've oudone yourselves. These prints are delightful (or in the parlance of our times, "sick"), and, with the exception of that second number (the black panel and high neckline are literally making me itch), the pieces are all cut beautifully. I really enjoy the pants from the first photo - as though someone has attacked a pair of innocent black jeans with an onslaught of ultramarine silly string. I'm a sucker for dark prints, thigh-highs, and long-sleeved mini dresses, so as a friend of mine would say, this collection is a melody. Plus the shoes look pretty cool.
