Fall Ready-To-Wear 2008

As I was scowering the web for all things fall, I landed somewhere short of my expectations. Do not get me wrong, i fell in love with a bunch of looks, but i found some designers to have delivered performances short of brilliant, like my main man Marc Jacobs in his Marc Jacobs line. Very dowdy and matronal in my opinion. I wish Chanel would spark my interest once again but it looks like the same old same old over and over again. However, there were a few gems among all the dirt.

1. 3.1 Phillip Lim brought out all the stops for his looks on the fall runway. With the electric blue high waisted, slouchy pants to the menswear esque sweater, he added the right amount of elegance with the everyday street style that i desperately yearn for.

2. Alexander Wang literally went to the streets for his urban decay look. The ripped tights complete the 'just got out of bed' look with no effort at all. The zipper boots are amazing as well.

3. Anna Sui picked up my number one spot with her hippie chic style and showed that her expertise is her complete attention to detail. The tights in all of her looks made everything look so chic and simple.

4. I was actually really impressed with BCBG Max Azaria on the runway. It made me want to get out of my computer chair and SPRINT to the closest store and pick up everything they had. And for some odd reason it really made me want to read Catcher in the Rye.

6. Chloe just about made my day. It is really funny because my friend Viv is basically the whole idea of the Chloe look. Its very simply put with not a lot of detail and its loose and slouchy because of the whole hippie feel.

avec l'amour,
