Preen – Caught me completely by surprise and left me in awe over the nonchalant, yet elegant designs amidst its eighties appeal used in all of the intricate details. Another designer sheds some light this season on how black, white and grey can still appeal to the masses, and just as easily manage to stay elegant but never stray away from the modern touches.
Ruffian – From the moment I saw the blood red runway to the body stocking accents, I felt my heart begin to thump. I adore the soft lines, crazy feathered skirts, flamboyant accents in color and sexy vamp red (almost black?!) lipstick. The messy, uncombed- yet cool, hair is the last page to this beautiful love story.
ADAM – Lithe, ethereal, effervescent. I applaud the use of smooth as well as clean lines, pastels and the ever present spring touches (both in color and in fabric.) If ever I dreamed of a real live Ready To Wear line for my Barbie dolls, way back when, this would have been it!
Diane von Furstenberg – The zippered ankle booties and leather leggings have my heart hammering at first look. And at second, all I can see is Russian luxe at its very best. The full coats and furry hats, the touches of elegance that only Diane von Furstenberg can nail, the kind a savvy, fashion forward woman falls in love with; a love that stays with her.

Great selection! I've decided that Ruffian is the next "it" collection amongst the bloggers!

Nothing is more disgusting to me then people that wear animal skins. How can anyone kill an innocent animal just to wear their skin and fur? It is so bizarre to me for anyone to like or enjoy wearing leather pants. What a WASTE! BOYCOTT LEATHER AND FUR.
I believe that true fashion is fashion where a person doesnt have to kill an animal and take THEIR beauty. Leave the beauty of an animal on them and create your own!!! This is true talent. True Beauty and true fashion.

Hi Ericka!
I like the interpretation that Ruffian did about the look from LV last season...so much better!
a kiss for you,
you are the best,
see you,

I never knew Preen before but their clothes have captured my fancy. particularly that neon/pastel (is there such a thing) confection at the end. To die for, seriously.
Also loving DVF. I bought a dress of hers a few weeks ago and adore it. It's too big though in the bust so I have to take it in.
Reminder: must take in clothes to tailor this weekend!
yes yes YES for the Preen collection!
excellent collage! XO
Hii!
& thanks, everybody<3
i'm lovin that a lot of the same trends are continuing through the seasons...
Yeah, Preen was a huge shock to me, because I don't really remember it from last fashion week, but now, I'm totally into.
The cuts, the use of color and prints.
Left me completely breathless as I watch each look go down the runway.
DVF has some really good stuff too. There was a gown that I completely fell in love with it was a sliver metallic dress. So much love for the one.
oh, i love this even more than part III, preen also caught me by surprise. to be honest i never paid much attention to the line until fall09 collection.
& the crazy hats dvf has to offer are so fun, i loveee it.
ps. i like your new header:)
I love all your picks for fashion week!!
