Christian Siriano Spring 2011 Highlights & Review

Collection Highlights




Collection Breakdown

Colors: There are a lot of neutrals in this collection and I see that as a recurring trend in the collections. Christian also used a lot of metallic fabrics. I love the color palette of the collection besides a few choice transition looks (posted below) I feel They took away from the collection rather then helped it flow.

Fabrics: A lot of clean and crisp fabrics along with metallic brocades. Collection included a lot of cotton and silk/satin as well as some chiffon.

Silhouette: Again I see another recurring trend and that would be the 1970's silhouettes. such as pant suits blazers and blouses. The dresses are more modern day tight to the body with a lot of draping detail.

Details- Thick and thin leather belts, Chic open toe pumps, Tan hand bags and aviators. As for jewelry there was a lot of turquoise...always a good way to spice up the neutrals!

Model Look: The hair was pulled back in a chic bun. The look was young vibrant and professional. The models seemed to be glowing and looked simply beautiful!



Collection Review
This collection was very pleasing to the eye despite a few looks that should have been cut from the lineup. Christian and his team need to use an editing eye and edit down...I feel if this collection contained maybe 7 less pieces it would be spot on. There was too many filler pieces that don't transition well and could be removed to better the show. Overall I thought it was young and refreshing. The pieces where very tailored and made well. Since project runway Christian Siriano has really made a great name for himself! I am impressed by this collection it has its quirks but it really was a nice collection and I enjoyed watching it!


Pieces I dislike
This is just not flattering and the color was horrid!
Again with that ugly leather and paired with that blue top...it is just bad.
This to me just looks cheap...the pants look like cheap satin and the top with those pants does not work...I also am not crazy about the top print and the random unflattering ruffle.

Get The Look- Summer Neon's






The summer is finally here! That means laying on the beach or by the pool sipping on your favorite cocktails (margaritas or Cosmo's for me) and soaking up the sun. Most people start planning vacations and day trips. That means planning or packing a getaway wardrobe. After a long hard year you should be ready to lighten and brighten it up! Summer trends reflect that notion. The Brightness of the neon colors will not only keep you feeling uplifted and full of energy but will also keep you looking fabulously beach-chic! Neon's may not be the most flattering all over the body...you don't want to look like a highlighter exploded on you! You want to moderate how you work the neon trend. A clean white one Piece with a fabulous necklace (Pictured: juicy Couture) and a bright neon heel (Nicholas Kirkwood: Pink, Balenciaga: Orange, Loeffler Randall: Yellow) Will take it up to the next level! Another good idea is to wear a neon sheer cover up over your bathing suit and neon flip-flops. There are ways to work this trend and look chic! This trend could work for everyone depending on how you style it! One safe way for neon to work is to always stick to accessories...unless of course you feel confident enough to work them on your body!

Erin Fetherston's resort 2011 collection





Erin Fetherston's resort 2011 collection is quite chic. She seems to be on top of the world with her collection and her latest side job as creative consultant and designer for Juicy Couture. So congrats to her and to celebrate lets take a look at her amazing collection. It is only 21 pieces but it is just so cute! I love every piece and I think it is a really cohesive, fun, and flirty collection. I think her aesthetic really fits Juicy Couture but her own collection is really sophisticated and just beautiful! I cant wait to see more from her!

Under Construction


Well I have a lot coming up this summer. I will be off from school and dedicating myself to this blog and a few other amazing opportunities coming up. I have a new blog layout in the works and have been busy busy busy planning things for this summer. Now if all goes as planned big things will be happening for me and this blog and its readers. I have another opportunity though that may get in the way. I may be interning at a HUGE fashion label (I'm not sure I can say what one) without jeopardizing it but is is a possibility. BUT if not I would still be glad running this blog and exposing you to many of my other ventures coming up. One of them as I discussed is my Handbag line through Fashion Stake. I also may be a featured designer/blogger on a new very cool platform that allows certain professionals in certain trades to display their skills and help others. I am very excited and very optimistic about these opportunities and cannot wait to share them with you!!!! I just want to thank those of you who read this blog and take the time to enjoy it! Thank You...I am looking forward to an amazing summer!!!
