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.

Bensoni Spring 2011 Highlights & Review

Collection breakdown and review below images!

Bensoni Spring 2011 highlights:

The Breakdown

Colors: neutrals w/ bright pops of color, Orange, Yellow, Green, white, black, and tan shades. Neutral prints.

Fabrics/Texture: Chiffon (blouses and skirts), Silk, Satin, Cotton, Cotton Jersey, Soft flowing fabrics with some jacket fabrics.

Details: Prints, Stripes, Neutral prints with bright colors. Open toe sandals with strap detail. Also there where a few punk rock looking necklaces. 1970's meets modern collection.

Model Look: This show featured models of all different ethnicity's and complexions. The makeup and hair was very uniform. It was almost like a uniform from twenty years into the future.

Review:

Bensoni's spring 2011 collection started off lacking much significance. It looked like simple clothing done with neutral prints. As the collection got about halfway through I noticed a progression. The show started with Neutrals, moved into neutrals with bright colors, and finished with fun and funky bright outfits. The progression seemed natural but I didn't like where the collection started and it was interesting where it ended up. I cannot decide if interesting is a good thing. I cannot decide if I like this collection or hate it. It possibly is a bit of both. I like some of the color palette and I adore the silhouettes but this collection left me a little puzzled. I didn't get a good feeling of what this collection is really about.

Designer Spotlight- Mau

Post Industrial Folk Wear by Mau

Post industrial folk wear was started in 2006 to address and solve problems of utility and relevance in contemporary street wear. The garments are essentially built with the harsh dynamics found within industry in mind: with much detail emerging from construction decisions. The material is featherweight tyvek(R): a high performance non-woven taken from construction, graphics, and paper trades to be adapted and manipulated for personal use. Although this material appears to be fragile and perishable, it is in fact a water, tear, and wind resistant fabric. The garments are partially recycled and 100% recyclable, meaning, a fabric that also does mother earth a favor.

Thomas Sabo Red Rebel At Heart

I remember a few years ago when I just started as a fashion student. I was just learning so much in and out of the classroom! I had been taking in so much inspiration and really loving the excitement I would get when I would see something just amazing in a magazine.

I had been flipping through an issue of Vogue and that's when I saw this! To this day it has been a piece that has remained on my mind. I never forgot this piece and I have always wished I could have it...It is nothing extremely inventive or out there but it is a piece I have always loved and stumbling upon it now brings back great memories! Now I might actually have to buy it...it is still quite expensive...I have always been a bit of a rebel

Best of Erdem 2011 Resort

Erdem Moralioglu made versatility the heart of his resort collection he also wanted to emphasize seasonlessness and "occasionlessness." He referenced the 1960's and updated it with a certain edge. I personally love this collection. It is bright fun and the shorts in the second look is just amazing! these where my favorite looks!

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!
