Leave a comment on e.g… collection and you could get 500 euros worth of their goodies in your closet. Smart way to get people to check out your lookbook. LOLs, WTF?!?, and LMAO need not apply.

One would think that a designer in his tenth season would progressively get better, and at this point, maybe show some of the best work of his career. Not for Charles Anastase. Is it just me or did Mr. Anastase relapse to remedial design school for his Spring 2010 collection? Garments were baggy and seemingly craft-like, looking as if they had been thrown together with a bit of glue and tape in a matter of minutes. Yes, things look girly, but they also look like a kindergarten school project. Intuitive theme, but this work just doesn’t translate on the runway.

Oh, why, hello there Fashion Week! So nice of you to creep your way through the summer and bite me in the ass! Yes friends, it all begins tomorrow. If you’ve got yourself some show invites, let me be the first Fashion Week rookie to tell you that you’re in for the most fantastic ride of your life. Lots of waiting. Lots of standing. Hundreds of people who look 10x more fabulous than you. Self proclaimed “models” who try and bride their way inside the tents. You’re going to be exhausted and most likely annoyed, but as soon as the lights cut, music blares and the first household name beanpole hits the catwalk, you’re going to be mesmerized.
But just because you’ve got an intricate outfit to pick out and some super high heels to walk in doesn’t mean you’re the only stressed out Madonna in Bryant Park. No way, these folks have got you beat. Enjoy a little pre-show drama!:
Thanks Fashionologie! For the complete list of designers showing at Spring 2010 Fashion Week, Check out Mercedes-Benz here!

Yoko Ono’s collaboration with ThreeASFOUR for their Spring 2010 collection marks a number of firsts: 1) Ono’s first ever fashion collaboration 2) the release of Ono’s rare dot drawings, as translated on cotton and silk prints 3) a preview of Ono’s newest album, “Between My Head And Sky.” With all these new and exciting things hitting the scene, it is needless to say that come ThreeASFOUR’s show at Milk Studios on September 17th, the intricate seams and legendary patterns are going to look just as good, if not better, than they do in these photos!

Last Fall, Swaim and Christina Hutson said a sad goodbye to Obedient Sons & Daughters and retested the fashion waters with new label Hutson. According to Meenal Mistry’s Twitter, Hutson, despite their projections to show at Fall 2009′s Fashion Week, will not be showing during the infamous week. Instead, a “small series” of Spring 2010 pieces will be available at the end of September. Devastation.

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.

**WARNING** If you have an intolerance for shallow observations or you recently modeled in Men’s Spring 2010 Fashion Week, don’t read this.
The end of June and beginning of July are of importance to me for one reason: men’s fashion week. Yeah,the tailored suits and spring apparel are nice, but what I really look forward to is the hours I spend cooing over drop dead gorgeous models. The chiseled jaw. The supple lips. The piercing eyes. I’m like a kid in a candy-store!
But these past two weeks have been less than enjoyable for my model addiction. Is it just me, or are designers and bookers seriously skimping on the man candy this season? What once was a Cole, Ash, Luke and Taylor dominated field is now pillaged with some of world’s less fortunate looking creatures. Is there some sort of repulsive man trend I’m missing the boat on here?
