Viktor and Rolf teamed up with design duo Studio Job to create the the staging for their Fall show. The design, originally imagined for a marquetry pattern for a series of furniture pieces, was generously applied to the walls and runway which was then playfully dubbed the Glamour Factory. As usual the collection didn’t disappoint delivering all the pomp and circumstance attendees have come to expect.
Madwell has enlisted Alexa Chung to replicate her signature style for their Fall 2010 collection. She dressed up cool girls like Pixie Geldof and Poppy Delevigne who were happy to partake.
Matt Lipps’ past work tackles sexuality, fantasy and identity explored through photographic collage. For this project he takes on something equally intimate, our sense of place. In his Home Series, cozy images of architectural interiors, made even more inviting by colorful overlays, are invaded by monumental landscape elements destroying any sense of peace or belonging. These images question the domestic space, complacency and our attachment to the familiar.

A sherbet palette doesn’t necessarily come to mind in conjunction with techno futurism but that is what makes Balenciaga so great. Ghesquière constantly redefines, pushes forward and experiments even as pressure towards convention mounts. He proves that innovation doesn’t necessarily equate with looks that are unwearable. Careful construction and balance open new channels, fresh conversations but ones that are viable. In the natural selection of things safety may work for now but it this innovation that will hold strong.

Marni’s Fall collection was true to Consuelo Castiglioni’s signature mismatch of patterns and structural construction but it was her color palette that caught our attention. We love the dusty pink, turquoise green, rich wine, steel grey and cartamin yellow. Add to that the visual quality of her clothing, the tactility of her fabrics, the sculptural shapes and richness of the dyes, which put her in a league of her own. The evidence of her success with this unique approach is in her client base, art world heavy weights and creative mavericks who not only celebrate but seek out her elevated view on getting dressed.

You can always count on Proenza Schouler to go against the grain. We love this season’s play on proportion, baby doll dresses and top-heavy coats balance on long thin legs. Jack and Lazaro have made a name for themselves as fashion’s cool kids with Chloe Sevigny, Nicole Ritchie and Mary-Kate Olsen sitting shoulder to shoulder in the front row. In a nod their alma mater we saw variations of varsity jackets, buttoned to the collar white shirts and pleated skirts. Had our uniform looked like this we would have surely made Dean’s List.

We found our favorite looks outside of the tents……. high low mismatched, just perfect.
Tokion’s Spring issue’s bold colors and patterns have us wondering if less really is more. We say go for it.
