Alexander McQueen Fall-Winter 2010/11

Before committing suicide on February 11th, the English Designer had practically finished 16 silhouettes of its Fall-Winter collection 2010-2011. Judging by the magnificence of the models, it was a Haute Couture collection. Inspired by the historic and religious representations of the Middle Ages, McQueen manages to create a sacred dimension to his designs. Imperial and poetic, the last garment (coat of feathers covered with gold with a high collar) crystallized the imagination and technical know-how of the Genius, too early gone.

Karl Lagerfeld invited his guests in the North Pole for a spectacular show in the Grand Palais. This fall and winter collection 2010-2011 is dedicated to furs. However, while at Fendi (for whom Karl Lagerfeld also works), they are all real, at Chanel, this season, they are all fake!

Christian Dior Fall-Winter 2010/11

Okay, I want to know how you like this collection. I like the mix of leather and very airy, soft fabrics. I love the feminine looks, almost wild and animal (can you see their influence?). I like the equestrianism style (or horse backridding outfits) however I would not see myself wear most of what Galliano proposed. It’s fun to watch though!
