ProenzaSchouler Fall2010

Oh such an energetic collection for Fall! Very sexy and naive at the same time...

I guess you could say that is Proenza Schouler signature!

My favorite pieces from the collection were the thigh-high tights &&& also the high-waisted skinny jeans that had this cool graffiti print!

The denim was made in collaboration with the denim label J Brand.

I think that the scribble motif was very eye-catching &&& it's what made me adore the collection.

Erin Wasson X RVCA 2010

Ever since last NYFW I have been very fond of Erin Wasson x RVCA.

I like the fact that her collections scream...Viva la grunge goddess!

Well, this season the models were styled very kooky but still sexy.

I loved the crimped and braided hair! I also noticed that every models' makeup consisted of a single feathery eyebrow..very cute & orginal.
Overall the collection was a great mix of nature and a bit of futurism.

Kudosss*** to Miss Wasson she's definetely my favorite model turned fashion designer.

Highschool Jock. Alexander Wang RTW S/S 2010

Alexander Wang's Spring 2010 Collection definitely reminded me of the high school days. It was a great mash-up of the school jock meets cheerleader and even a lil bit of 1950's Grease look. Every piece had an odd sihoulette and strange cut, but it's just something about garments designed by Mr. Wang....just something that always makes me love them.

One in a Million. Milly RTW S/S 2010

So while other designers have florals and pastel colors for springtime. Michelle Smith designer of Milly went for something darker. I'm used to seeing looks from Milly as bright sixties-inspired shifts. However, this whole collection revolved around the color black. I think the new look was fresh for Milly and unexpected...which spring fashion is all about! Eveything was simply cute from the silhouettes, to the sheaths, and the minishorts. I would love to have one of those elbow-sleeve coats with the oversized buttons and and all the gold embellishments would make me feel like a million bucks!

WU WOW. Jason Wu RTW S/S 2010

Ever since Designer Jason Wu became a household name when he designed the inaugural dress for First Lady Michelle Obama, I have had my eye on his designs. I believe he's a very talented designer & has accompolished so much at age his young age (definetely an inspiration to me).

For his Spring 2010 collection the key trends I noticed were bold color, texture, and 1950s inspired. This was an amazing Spring collection, my favorite dresses from NYC FW. I saw a couple of pretty dresses that I could picture Michelle Obama in. However, this collection wasn't fit for only a First Lady...I bet any cute stylish lady would love to don one of his magical frocks.
