It’s safe to say that Kate and Laura Mulleavy’s Spring 2010 Rodarte collection was a stress release. They ripped, tore and destroyed to their heart’s content taking their glamorous grungy appeal and increasing it tenfold. This season was all about confidence in flaws, and isn’t it obvious with all the sloppy, yet precise, draping and unique tears? While I did appreciate a grubbier vibe from Rodarte, I was a bit distracted by the arm tattoos and felt that the collection would have spoken louder sans the body art.

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.

I’ve had my eye on the studded and spiked Christian Louboutin x Rodarte heels since they hit the streets in February of 2008. Over a year later, I’m still severely obsessed with them, and thanks to the crafty DIY project by Patricia at Fashion Mongers, we all can look forward to replicating our very own Loubs! 

Constructed from a pair of old Mary-Janes, a variety of pronged studs, super-glue, a hammer and a lot of patience, my new favorite Fashion Monger put a spin on the Christian Louboutin x Rodarte heels and created them for a mere dollars!

Arnhem a city in the Netherlands which is described as a new direction in fashion.

Surprisingly, Arnhem has been off the fashion radar up until pretty much now, despite the fact that the fashion festival, Arnhem Mode Biennale, engulfs the whole city at once, celebrating the works of other dutch and european designers. With installations from fashion legends such as Calvin Klein, Viktor&Rolf, Maison Martin Margiela, Balenciaga, and of course the big guns; this is a festival for the fashion deprived to learn of fashion’s heroes.

Beautiful as it is, I wish every county had a city as inspirational as Arnhem, celebrating fashion as it is supposed to be, not as a taboo as it is in some counties. In simple terms, I think London should celebrate british and european designers in the same light, as London exports so much talent, if a festival was held as a tribute, it would be a worldwide celebration!
