Tom Ford Spring 2011

No one had heard a peep about this show until the paps' pictures outside of the show surfaced on blogs. It seems as if the show was great fun and the models all seem genuinely excited to be participating. Have a look here:

Chanel Pre-Fall 2011

Savage Garden once sang, "I knew I loved you before I met you, I think I dreamed you into life." If I could wear one head-to-toe look straight off the runway for the rest of my life it would be this one.

P.S. Please don't take this as an exhaustive statement. Fashion is ever-changing, as am I.

Loving Philip Van De Roq!

As soon as I saw this collection of tribal inspired pieces I started hyperventilating. The piece above, named Uppsala, is on my Christmas wish list. The Philip Van de Roq collection is by multi-designer Pernilla Philip. She has done fashion, furniture and industrial design, and for her latest conquest she uses materials such as: buffalo leather, sterling silver and paper clay to create the jewelry for this emotionally moving debut.

Jeremy Scott Spring 2011

At his spring 2011 show Jeremy Scott showed his love for the city life. With stomped on trench coats, plastic bag blouses, loads of leather and garbage bag skirts, Jeremy Scott showed that he really (insert red heart here) New York. It's scenery was all over his clothing from the pop can mini dresses to the graffiti tees that let everyone know that "No sale is ever final."

I'm a fan of Jeremy Scott because his workmanship is always tops and always done with a twist. This safety pin dress is my favourite piece from the collection.

Jeremy Scott's piece's are fun and quirky but also a definite investment because there's always a joy in wearing a designer piece that's unique and innovative. All in all, Jeremy Scott spring 2011 was a breath of fresh air.

Caitlin Power Spring 2011

This past weekend I was fortunate enough to attend Caitlin Power's spring 2011 show held at the Drake by Creative Magnet. The line was amazing. I was very impressed by the immaculate tailoring and loved the edgy cuts and the mixture of fabrics, especially the crinkled leather panels used in her pieces.


This romper was a favourite of mine.

As was this suit.

I could not keep my eye's off of the details put into her pieces. Caitlin Power has an amazing talent and I'm excited to see what she has in store for the future.

The Afropolitan Collection

I was making my daily blog rounds today and came across this collection on fashionbombdaily.com. The Afropolitan Collection by Eniola Hundeyin is a six piece collection that fuses African fashion and prints, mostly that of Nigeria, with western, downtown inspired shapes and cuts. The collection is vibrant and fun and I would love to own each piece. I see a client like Solange, Tracee Ellis Ross or Nicole Richie enjoying these clothes and hopefully as time goes by Ms. Hundeyin will recieve more notoriety.

and in the meantime you can check out this video that was done by the designer herself. It's called THE TAKEOVER.
