Yves Saint Laurent A/W10 RTW (Collections)

 Stefano Pilati understands Yves Saint Laurent's vision, perfectly shown in the new Autumn-Winter collection. Pilati takes us back to the very roots of YSL's humble, and simple beginnings as a designer and as a Fashion Label. Pilati gives us the essence of YSL's silhouette. The collection was not all black, there were complete looks in solid colors such as yellow, purple, and hot pink.

 Stefano Pilati comprend la vision du Yves Saint Laurent, parfaitement montré dans la nouvelle collection d'Automne-Hiver. Pilati nous prend de retour aux racines même de YSL les commencements humbles et simples comme un dessinateur et comme une Etiquette de Mode. Pilati nous donne l'essence de silhouette de YSL. La collection n'était pas tout noir, il y avait des regards complets dans les couleurs solides comme le jaune, le violet, et chaud rose.

Karl Lagerfeld A/W10 (Collections)

So, I have been rather stagnant on my design blog, more will be posted very soon. Lately, I have been studying who is viewing this blog. Predominantly French, British, and American viewers/ readers. I am going to start translating all of my reports and write-ups on collections in french, et cetera! For the Bilingual-French readers, please contact me if the translations are incorrect. Thanks so much to all the new followers for appreciating Fashion and all things Beauty.
Much Love, Efren A.

A collection consisting of a basic Streamlined Silhouette, Lagerfeld uses tailored and structured elements in the collection, predominantly black patent and silver. An overall great and distinct collection from our beloved Karl!

Tim Hamilton A/W10 RTW (Collections)

Tim Hamilton brings back menswear. Hamilton's menswear collection is very similar to this fall collection. Very masculine tailoring always looks fabulous on women, this collection consisted of a lot of black, some blue, masculine tailoring, blazers, structured elements, PVC-like materials, and those gorgeous shoes. Gothic influences are seen throughout the collection. I absolutely love the Gothic look and silhouette, so I am in love with this collection.

I absolutely adore those classic "bob" haircuts!

Giles A/W10 RTW (Collections)

 Giles Deacon gives us Sixties flare with a modern touch, of course.
Deacon uses a safe color palette of neutrals, beiges, browns, yellows, slivers, purples, and grays, etc.
Very feminine dresses, fabric manipulated skirts consisting of many many layers, and intimate bodices. The collection was to me not as exciting as others, I enjoyed his spring collection very much. This collection was lacking a certain personal stand point.
It is ready-to-wear though. All and all the collection was well executed and styled.

Gareth Pugh A/W10 RTW (Collections)

 With collections in Paris emphasizing the cleanliness and crispness of cut and line. Gareth Pugh knows exactly how to do just that! Previous collections in gray, black, and white, Pugh works with an achromatic color palette, and an apocalyptic conscious! Black was the predominant color for this collection, chevron pattern cuts, angular in nature, narrow silhouettes, with the distinct Gothic and Futurist touch that is Gareth Pugh.
 I always look forward to seeing Pugh's collections, I grasp such whim and inspiration from his simple yet elaborate messages in the garments and collections. I adore the fabric manipulation on the jackets, Pugh accomplishes a difficult task by making angular lines look soft and fluid, which is very pleasant to the eye. Overall the collection was gorgeous and very marketable, these garments presented the "business side" of Pugh for the ready-to-wear market.
