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.

Viktor & Rolf Show Invitation (Images)

Viktor & Rolf scheduled to present their collection the sixth of March at 1:30 pm Paris time.
Cannot wait!!!


Here's some pictures of the preliminary workings of V&R from their twitter.
Invitation:

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.

Pam Hogg A/W10 (Collections)

 Models strut in eight inch "knee-length" platforms in black PVC, black crinoline head-dresses, skin tight semi-transparent tights, and gorgeously executed jumpsuits in the classic combination black & gold. While Siouxsie sings "The Last Beat of my Heart." Hogg's show was clever, dark, gothic influenced, and effortlessly mysterious.
