PFW - ALL IN ONE POST
I know, I know, this is loooong overdue, but it's here now and it's one hell of a post. I might have overcharged a bit on this one, but I didn't want you to miss out on anything. Beware of browsers crashing on picture-overload (don't tell me I didn't warn you). I'll keep text to a minimum -this post is long enough as is. The shows were allright, not bad, not super-amazing either. Let's just say there wasn't anyone that REALLY stood out. But well, let's see some pictures, right?
1// ALEXANDER McQUEEN
This is Alexander McQueen's last work, it was about 80 percent finished when he died and it's spectacular as ever.
2// BALENCIAGA
I think this is a love it or hate it collection? I'm not sure I love it yet, but most Balenciaga collections have to grow on me before I really like them. It might just be the really light & pastel colours that look a bit off at first though.
3// CHANEL
I don't know if you've seen it, but for his fall/winter Chanel show, Mr. Lagerfeld ordered a huge iceberg to grace his catwalk. Apparently he wanted to make some sort of a climate statement? Seriously Karl, that's a bit too much... Anyway, the first few looks were hideous fur outfits (yes, hideous) and the rest of the show was a bit of a letdown as well...
4// CHLOÉ
It seems as though Hannah MacGibbon is sticking with her beige. Not very innovative, but why change when she's gathered such a large following? I like that grey look with the black bow, even more after I saw what an amazing illustration Kris Atomic made of it. (click!)
5// DRIES VAN NOTEN
This is probably one of my favourites of all the shows. It wasn't his best collection, but it was still really really good. I'm already trying to recreate that look with the grey crewneck & skirt, I'm just looking for a nice crewneck + skirt (oops).
And yes, I even put up some detail shots! Loving the sunnies, yum! (Dries Van Noten collaborates with Linda Farrow for his sunglasses(GO CHECK THEM OUT!), as do many other designers, but his are always my favourite)
6// GIVENCHY
This was ok, not wow, but I had to post this because I really (REALLY REALLY) liked the red blazer.
7// HUSSEIN CHALAYAN
These were just too funny not to post :)
8// ISABEL MARANT
I really liked this collection. I'm not the biggest Isabel Marant fan (not because I don't like her designs, I do!, but because I sometimes feel she's a bit overrated? I don't know) but this collection was nice: lovely designs & great styling.
9// JASMINE DI MILO
I'm not that familiar with this brand, but I thought it looked quite nice.
10// LANVIN
Ooh yes, if you've followed this blog for a while you'll know I'm a big fan of Alber Elbaz's work. I wasn't really into it at first, but the more you look at it, the better it gets. I see a lot of one-shouldered pieces, lovely, and the last few feathered pieces are just too fun! (I do realise you'll look as if an ostrich just crashed into you if you're wearing that last dress, but who cares)
11// MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA
This collection wasn't as innovative as previous ones, but I wanted to at least show you the last few pieces of the collection. I thought they were the most 'Margiela'.
12// MIU MIU
I think this is the sweetest collection of all the ones we've seen. I loved it.
13// NEIL BARRETT
Again, this is a designer I'm not that familiar with, but I noticed he made an awful lot of great jackets.
14// STELLA McCARTNEY
I already loved her prefall collection for its simplicity & wearability, her main collection is no different.
15// VALENTINO
A lot of ruffles, yes, but I think it works?
16// Viktor & Rolf
Our favourite Dutch design duo. Yep, these boys know how to create a spectacle. If ever I were to attend a fashion show, I'd love an invite to theirs, just because they always have such a great concept going on at their show.
What did they do? Well, take one model, dress her up in all she can wear, let the other models pass her on the runway while you (= the designers) gradually take clothes from the main model and use them to dress the passing models. (Yes, Viktor & Rolf were on stage the entire time, styling away!) Next, when your main model is only dressed in a pretty leotard, the process starts over again but in the other direction. Piling it all on. The last looks are the last few shots from the show, you can see the model on the bottom row, left, wearing a skirt, that was then put on the main model (middle) and voila, resulting in the picture on the right!

I hope I didn't lose your interest halfway through this post, but well, that's it for the fall/winter 2010 season!

MMM PERFUME
Maison Martin Margiela is coming out with its first perfume, aptly called 'untitled' -very Margiela style. I wonder what it smells like. It's unisex and supposed to be "floral, woody, and very green” (including notes of fern) as well as “ambery and oriental”.
Picture via HIGH SNOBIETY
However, I couldn't help but wonder why they would wait to bring out their FIRST perfume just a few months after Margiela's retirement from the brand? Also, MMM has been selling a lot of collection pieces from their Artisanal label on yoox.com. I could be wrong but it almost feels like, now that Margiela's gone, they want to get rid of all his stuff and start over. I hope Maison Martin Margiela doesn't lose its un-commercial and mysterious vibe since that is what draws a lot of people to the brand. I think. Nevermind if you thought this was the weirdest thing you ever read on my blog.

A LITTLE GEM
I love Maison Martin Margiela jewelry because it makes me smile. There's always SOMETHING. Remember the earring necklace I posted about a few months ago? Or maybe you're interested in a watch cuff? A Nail ring? A giant disco earring? Oh boy I could go on and on.
The latest piece that stole my heart? Well, this little gem:

THE BELGIANS ARE COMING!
Picture from fashionologie.com
Since Belgium doesn't really have a fashion week of it's own, most of the Belgian designers show their collections in Paris. We already saw Olivier Theyskens for Nina Ricci, but today I have some more Belgians for you! (The picture above is from the Maison Martin Margiela show)
I have pictures from Maison Martin Margiela, Ann Demeulemeester & Haider Ackermann (OK I hear you thinking: 'Hey! Haider isn't Belgian!' True, but he was trained in Antwerp so I'd like to think of him as a Belgian, I'm sure he wouldn't mind!). Can't wait to see pictures of the Dries Van Noten show too, he's always one of my favourites!
Let's also not forget the other Belgians:
- A.F. Vandevorst who had a great show a few days ago
- Bernhard Willhelm (actually German, but trained in Antwerp as well)
- Bruno Pieters (who has his own line but also designs for the avant garde line Hugo from Hugo Boss as well as the men's line from Delvaux, Europe's oldest leather goods company)
- Kris Van Assche (has his own label and designs for Dior Homme, but it's rumoured he'll be replaced by Gareth Pugh!)
- Veronique Branquinho, also had her show yesterday in Paris and is the new Artistic Director of Delvaux
- Cathy Pill, a young belgian designer, especially known for her amazing graphic prints. You won't find her show on style.com (yet!), but her collection is being sold on Browns.com, I think that says enough...
- Walter Van Beirendonck, as with Cathy Pill, you won't find his collection on style.com (probably because it isn't commercial enough) but always very creative! He is also head of the famous Antwerp Fashion Academie.
All of these designers graduated from the Antwerp Fashion Academie, except for Olivier Theyskens & Cathy Pill, who graduated from La Cambre in Brussels.
People like them make me proud of being Belgian!
Ok enough talking for today, let the images speak for themselves!

Ann Demeulemeester - beautiful coats!

And a bonus, not Belgian, but you'll love it: Comme des Garçons!

Gotta love Rei Kawakubo! She called it "Wonderland,where nothing is as it seems."

MMM
I had to look twice before I noticed the thing hanging on this necklace was actually a GIANT earring! I would love to see how people react on it if you're wearing this, probably some weird stares and then "Is that an earring you're wearing!?" You'll probably get a good laugh out of it.
Pictures from Browns.com
The necklace is by Maison Martin Margiela (hence the title MMM, I think that probably wasn't very clear), who else could've come up with something like this ^-^?
