Carven F/W 11

Carven showed in Paris on Wednesday March 2, 2011. Their fall/winter looks combine asymmetrical draping, plaids, heavy wools and furs. Their shoes look like platform loafers, crating a modern twist on a classic.

Oscars: Best Dressed


I love Jennifer Lawrence in this Calvin Klein Collection gown. If I could have worn any dress, it would’ve been this one. Calvin Klein Collection has been positively my favorite this entire award season. They really hit it out of the park with this collection. I stand by this choice, even over the Cate Blanchett Givenchy couture dress. I feel like this Calvin Klein dress is so simple but so elegant. A hard dress to wear and yet she kills it!

Burberry Prorsum Fall 2011

In my opinion Burberry went absolutely crazy with some of the structures of their classic peacoats. Exaggerated sleeves, shoulders and combinations of both made some of the designs completely unflattering to women. The coats look too big, which goes against the rest of the tailored looks for which Burberry is know and praised. I did appreciate the pop of color in the first few looks, then the switch to neutrals and then closing with black and white. And it looks like dalmatian will be in this fall, as Topshop Unique also used an abundance of the print in their show. Below are some of my favorites, followed by one of the awkward coats I was mentioning.

Could see Emma Watson in this coat, it’s very Chanel-inspired.

I like the A-line tunic with texture, complemented nicely by printed pants and black platforms.

The shoulders and sleeves just don’t seem to work well. It makes the chest wide and flat: two things women certainly don’t want.

Jeremy Scott F/W 2011

Sorry for the Jeremy overload, I am just in love with the man and personally think he can do no wrong. I watched the show stream live Wednesday February 16, 2011 and was in awe from the get go. His collection, in my opinion is a pop artist’s take on 90s Club Kids ready-to-wear. It’s tones down rave gear that’s suitable (depending on how much of a fashion risk take you are) for everyday modern wear.
