Sarah's McQueen

For her second collection designing for Alexander McQueen, Sarah Burton puts her own feminine twist to the Fall 2011 collection. The results are truly amazing! Future wedding dress?

Lanvin Fall 2011

Lanvin’s fall 2011 collection had creative director Alber Elbaz taking the label to new heights with his feminine silhouettes which ranged from sculptural to slouchy in shape. Accessories included wide brim hats which covered the models’ faces, bedazzled belts and chunky necklaces made of metal hardware. With the wide brim hats and dramatic capes–the Lanvin woman seemed elegant yet mysterious for the autumn season.

Genius!

Back in November, it was reported that Karl Lagerfeld wanted Haider Ackermann to replace him as the creative director of Chanel once he retired. When looking at Ackermann’s fall 2011 collection, it is hard to imagine his sleek and sometimes even futuristic vision at the renowned fashion house. But now with rumors swirling about him being a possible Galliano successor at Dior–Ackermann proved he is definitely a designer to watch when he went to new heights today, showing a masterful play on the masculine and the feminine. Asymmetrical silhouettes with velvet, silk and satin gathered to one side seemed to be a dominate theme for the autumn season. Outerwear featured strong puffed up shoulders, slinky silhouettes and wide leather belts. (fashiongonerogue)

Unzipped

Unfortunately, there was no "je ne sais quoi" about the the Fall 2011 show for Masion Martin Margiela. The dresses/coats/zipped and unzipped surprises were none-the-less beautiful. I LOVE the collection of folded over-sized clutches.
