Jak & Jil recently snagged a preview of Nicholas Kirkwood’s Spring 2010 footwear collection, and I must say, things are looking a bit juvenile and pixelated. Not sure how I feel about the obnoxiously bright and bold colors, but it’s Kirkwood, someone’s bound to love them! What do you think?

All the more reason to go crazy over Rad Hournai’s Spring 2010 collection, here’s some proof that his most recent work is entirely versatile! I was lucky enough to attend Hournai’s show at Milk Studios this past Fashion Week, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who left wondering if the zippers were just detailing or if they actually unzipped! Wonder no more, because we’ve got photos to prove that several of these pieces are transformable, giving you several versions in one! Amazing!

Atos Lombardini’s fall stuff is so killer! He adds touches of chains, leather, leopard, and foil, making for great funky pieces that I can’t wait to get my hands on! I’m dying over that military-inspired jacket with the chains on the shoulder!

The future of Yohji Yamamoto is undoubtedly bleak. The Japanese designer recently filed for bankruptcy protection due to his $76 million debts. But there is hope; an investor offered to bail Yamamoto out and get this man back on his feet. The only question is, will Yamamoto be too proud to accept this financial help?

Thanks NY Mag!

Tennis is not my strong-suit, but it looks like it is Jean Paul Gaultier’s! Focusing on the preppy sport for the Hermès Spring 2010 collection, Gaultier showed several tennis tees and skirts that evolved into dresses, cardigans and flowing jacks and suits. Gaultier even threw in some leather , but let’s be honest, aren’t the fall colored chocolate brown and dark navy colors a little out of place for the lightness that is spring?

With the precision of menswear under his belt, Tim Hamilton’s Spring 2010 collection was basically masculine with just enough skin to sneak in a sexy, feminine flare. Hamilton kept the color palate simple with black, white and red, allowing the collection’s variety to seem endless. High-waisted, winged pants, oversized cardigans, tipped button-ups, body conscious shit dresses and miniature tube tops comprised the collection, while John Lennon, round sunglasses and a head-wrap made for must-have accessories

Branching nicely from her Fall 2009 collection, Hannah MacGibbon brought us some more relaxed, masculine, natural pieces for the Spring season. With a copious array of beige, khaki and cream colored dresses, trousers, suit coats and capes, the Spring 2010 collection aired on the side of casual, English countryside, with a bit of boyish comfort. MacGibbon traded in stilettos for some strappy, leather sandals, which trouser pants were tucked into. Disheveled, baggy and natural, I couldn’t ask for more!

Miuccia Prada had it raining cats and dogs (and birds!) at her Miu Miu Spring 2010 show in Paris. Prints were in full effect throughout the collection, decorating several high-waisted pantsuits, severe collared button ups, cropped jackets and pencil skirts. Some pieces ever aired on the revealing side, allowing sneak peeks of belly skin beneath the layers of tailored suiting. Long, scraggly braids complimented the looks well, adding a touch of carefree innocence to the collection.

Inspired by the craziness that is Los Angeles, John Galliano’s Spring 2010 collection was all things symbolic of the City of Angels (although the red lazer lit runway looked more like devil!). As per usual, looks were over the top, clashing, somewhat gaudy and styled to the max- an obvious addition to the Galliano family. As separates, the variety of beige blazers and jackets were staple pieces, acting as a somewhat stable basis for the collection.

“I imagined a woman explorer who stopped in a Bertolucci movie, and I imagined her in these explorer-like military outfits from the desert, picking up local outfits and mixing them together in their own look.  When you think of the desert you think of sandy colors, like beige and gray, but then there is the brightness of the sun. In these times, I wanted to send a message of vibrancy.”

A bit early for Holiday previews, but since we just saw Spring 2010, guess this isn’t far off.

Amazing! I love this leather jacket, and since I’m in the market for one, I’m even more intrigued by this collection. There is something so simple about this lookbook that makes it brilliant. I’m not focused on the models or the background simply the looks.

Shirley Manson (singer of Garbage) looks awesome (especially for 43!). I feel like you don’t see many red-headed models, and she’s successfully repping the haircolor. I think she looks like a red Kate Beckinsale in that last shot..no? This is a random combo. of people with Elijah Wood (looking hobbitlike), but I think they look great together. Great job, Oli.

Kris Van Assche’s Spring 2010 collection was nothing more than a few beautifully tailored blazers, oversized blouses, a-line dresses, trousers, band tops and high waisted skirts. Minimalism was the name of this designer’s game, but while garments remained simple, the leather shoes and belts made for enviable items. Totally loving the chocolate brown strap booties and it’s counterpart, skinny belt.

Excuse me for my 90’s references, but Hussein Chalayan’s Spring 2010 collection reminded me of sexy and sinister Jessica Rabbit (from “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”). Blame it on those oversized, shadowy sun hats, but the whole collection screams evasive class. Cut-out suits complimented see through skirts and shorts, bringing a little drama back to the workplace.

If I had to summarize Ennio Capasa’s Costume National Spring 2010 collection in 3 words, they would be skimpy, shimmery and ghastly. To say that runway radiated death would most assuredly be a negative comment in Capasa’s book, but according to me, the pale sheen against raw skin has a sexy, yet eerie, vibe. With a subtler version of the biker-chic trend, I’m loving the mini leathers as well as the thin, chain jewelry.

Dries Van Noten went a little retrograde on us this season, settling for his safe, signature ethnic patterns and pieces that are sure to sell out amongst his following customers. Khaki pants and shorts, wrapped psychedelic skirts, sparkled and sequined jackets and relaxed linens comprised the majority of Van Noten’s Spring 2010 collection. For a man who brought us a very minimalist Fall 2009 collection, this season is rather surprising, but ask a devout Van Noten fan and you’ll realize he’s just playing it safe.

It looks like someone paid attention in geometry class! Riccardo Tisci sent a range of Roman/Arabic inspired, geometrically appealing pieces down the runway for the Givenchy Spring 2010 collection. Hard edges are nothing new for the label, but making bold, zig-zags and subtle optical illusions pleasing is no easy task; this was a challenge Tisci definitely succeeded at! Completely loving the head to toe wrapped looks as well as all of this high waisted business!
