Most Anticipated Collections for Spring 2010
With their Fall ‘09 collections having hit the runway, we’re expecting just as great of a show for Spring 2010 from these top 20 designers.
MAINSTREAMERS
Alexander McQueen:

Each of McQueen’s Fall ‘09 pieces were sculpted to perfection to create forms in unique patterns and versatile shapes.
Marc Jacobs:

Marc Jacobs was all about the bright colors with this collection. Grabbing inspiration from 80s fashion, the neon hues and big shoulders were a hit on the runway.
Prada:

With fur shapes, wool suits, and some knee high boots, Prada styles hit the runway in edgy fashion
Balenciaga:

With draped satin and silk, paired with fitted tops and flowy dresses, the Balenciaga collection was all about luxury and versatility.
Louis Vuitton:

Bubble skirts, coats, and a ton of accessories marched down the runway for Louis Vuitton Fall’09, of course, bright colors added that perfect touch on all pieces.
Donna Karan:

Fitted coats and long skirts accessorized with belts and necklaces produced a strong collection for Donna Karan this fall.
Alexander Wang:

Focusing mostly on blacks and whites, Alexander Wang explored much more with textures for fall ‘09. With each style paired with a matching accessory models looked the part from head to toe.
Moschino:

Ruffles and roses were at the forefront of Moschino’s line up for this Fall ‘09 collection. Navy and black dresses with a hint of red adds that special something to each piece.
Roberto Cavalli:

Lace leggings, fur jackets, and knitted fabrics were all part of Roberto Cavalli’s image for Fall ‘09.
Lanvin:

Leave it to Lanvin to let loose black gloves and intriguing silhouettes down the runway. With dresses and coats in beige, black, and white, the designer remembers the excitement of color with the occasional spark of red.
Proenza Schouler:

Though many designers stuck to inspiration of the past for Fall ‘09, Proenza Schouler kept it modern for the runway. High necks and fitted coats were all a part of the designers vision for the season.
Alexandre Herchcovitch:

Alexandre Herchcovitch was all about the idea of chaos for his fall ‘09 collection. Taking inspiration from big cities, multi-textured coats and printed dresses marched down the runway.
THE INDIE TEAM
A. F. Vandevorst:

For Fall ‘09 A.F. Vandevorst dreamt-up silk dresses and fur vests colored in quite a specific scheme. With trenches in variations of beige, green, and black it’s clear that this collection was one of a kind.
ADAM:

Releasing an array of colorful styles, ADAM put forth bright, upbeat separates for Fall ‘09.
Erdem:

It was all about embroidery and intense color for Erdem’s Fall ‘09 collection; lace and satin worked together to create ensembles fit for the runway.
Haider Ackermann:

With flowy dresses under more fitted and architectural coats, Haider Ackermann found that perfect line to combine edge and sophistication.
Ann Demeulemeester:

Stiff black works combined with soft white dresses allowed Ann Demeulemeester to explore the importance of balance for Fall ‘09.
Rodarte:

Working with pale schemes, leathers, and silk-screened styles, Rodarte lead a flood of breathe-taking dresses and skirts down the catwalk.
Phi:

Zippers and sequins were among Phi’s best looks for the Fall ‘09 season. Edgy styles made it clear that the collection was really for the strong and independent woman.
Albino:

Focusing on geometric shapes and silk dresses, bronze, black, and even a few bright-colored numbers made a strong statement when they took the runway.

SHOP Lanvin | Pilot Sunglasses, $350
Maybe I should just quit fashion and get my pilot’s license because, as of late, anything somewhat aviation related has tickled my fancy. I’ve got a feeling that these tortoise, stainless steel detailed, Lanvin aviators would go really well with the 3.1 Phillip Lim bomber I fell in love with last week. Totally obsessed with the double bridge and the big screws.

COLLAB HO: Lanvin x Acne White Collection
The uber expensive collaboration line by Lanvin x Acne recently released their white collection. Many of the pieces, which are the same physical structure of the blue denim collection, have been reproduced and are certainly more springy than the denim collection, which can easily be worn into the fall and winter months. Prices still remain astronomically high for a collaboration line and denim material, but with Lanvin’s name attached to the garments, what did we expect? Personally, I would rather have seen the denim tunic and tie-neck shirt done in white, because heck, you can find a white jean jacket just about anywhere.

“He’s Not Old, He’s Russian!”- Rebecca Alexander
Before realizing how adorable photographer Arthur Elgort’s spread, “The Wedding Party,” for Vogue’s June 2009 issue is, I prematurely threw up in my mouth at the fact that Sasha Pivovarova was actually married and that her husband, artist Igor Vishnyakov, looks like he could be her father. Rebecca, a native Russian herself, thoughtfully pointed out that no, Vishnyakov wasn’t old, he was just Russian (hmm, i guess Russian men just look older?). Ok, Vishnyakov isn’t exactly a spring chicken at 41 years old, but that’s besides the point…sort of…since he actually is old enough to be the model’s father. But hey, a man that flexible is a youngin’ in my books!
“The Wedding Party” is a charming reenactment of Pivovarova and Vishnyakov’s wedding, complete with a gorgeous Lanvin wedding dress and fellow models, Jessica Stam, Irina Kulikova and Hana Soukupova as the bridesmaids. Though the spread hits a soft-spot in my heart, I’m a little resentful that Sasha is just another thief, stealing my socks and stilettos look. Grr.
Thanks IMG!

Well his new London shop is open and it’s filled with all the needed Lanvin a girly could want including wedding dresses which Alber joked we’re perfect for women walking down the isle a third or fourth time.

SPREAD UM: The Perfect Mess
“The Perfect Mess,” I dub thee the greatest editorial to ever hit the printing press! Lula Mag, issue #8, has drawings of our famous fashion friends wearing top labels like Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton and Lanvin! Though drawn garments aren’t nearly as detailed as a photograph, I am very intrigued by the raw sketches, leaving a bit of ambiguity for the readers. I absolutely love the concept of sketched editorials, but could spreads like this instigate others to sketch as well? If so, what would all the print models do?! If this is the new trend, it looks like Russia is getting all of their pretty girls back!

Thanks Fashion Copious!
