Gucci- Fall 10

Clean. Rocker/Boho Chic. Gucci served what it does best a clean rocker look. Color palette was a bit light for what is usual other than that nothing particularly unexpected.Shearling popped up again. Good looks as a whole, found myself wanting something more though.

Moncler Gamme Bleu- Fall 10

Boots. Moon Boots. Tailored Puff. Porportions. Thom Browne took an interesting approach to the winterwear brand. He effectively played with  layering while at the same time infusing his own noticeable look through proportion and color choices that he is known for. The puff shorts and jackets were winners for me.

Alexander McQueen Fall 10

Tribal. Prints. Drought. McQueen opted for a very neutral color palette showing many head to toe print looks. Personally I saw it as the terrestrial, at times tribal version of his famous underwater womens collection he just showed a few weeks ago. There was definitely a bit of a goth undertone per usual.I couldn't help but notice a bit of a 60-70's influence with the seamless print and pilgrim hair. Very different than his last collection but took us to a new place. The fit seemed a bit questionable on some pieces. Definitely can see it having a rippling effect as far as color is concerned for next fall.

Menswear Fall 09

This season for the Mens collection in Milan . . . well, I'm a little underwhelmed . . . I guess, with the economy in such a dire state . . . understandably the designers look for more conservative and quiet collection . . . although, there were a few standouts for me . . .
You can count of Alexander McQueen to incorporate leather aprons to be a part of a man's clothing vernacular next Fall! And of course, Prada . . . Muccia is always playing with proportion and details . . . the studs on that long coat . . . I'd DIE!!!
Let's see what the Paris collection is going to come up with . . . please no more BLACK!!!
