AND THEN SOME MORE

And we just won't stop!
Prefall part 3!

1// Alexander Wang




2// The Row



This is so my favourite.


3// Givenchy




4// No 21




5// Louis Vuitton




6// Valentino




7// Maison Martin Margiela

CONTINUE PLEASE...

The next batch of prefall shows - more soon!


1// CÉLINE



I'm sorry if you've already seen this everywhere else, but I couldn't not post it.


2// PROENZA SCHOULER



Really really like the clashing patterns, seems kind of perfect to me!


3// STELLA McCARTNEY



Ooh Stella, you get it right each & every time.
My sister and I have already decided on the looks, she's taking No. 1 & 4, I'm taking 5 & 6. We're still undecided about 2 & 3 but I'm thinking 2 for her & 3 for me? What do you say, sofie?

4// BALENCIAGA



A worthy collection to finish of this list of favourites.
I'd wear the silver suit (top row, right) on a special occasion where all the other girls are wearing LBD's. I'd wear the sweater with the German Shepherd to go grocery shopping. And I'd wear the last 2 outfits, well, just about anywhere. Oh and of course, I'd take that backdropp and wallpaper my room in it. Et voila, I've created the perfect dream world!

SO FAR

I showed you the Chanel prefall show last week, time for some of the others. I'm just going to show a few looks of my favourite shows, there's no point in posting all the looks of every single show, that's what style.com is for, right? But, if you like what you see, don't forget to check out the rest of it on style.com anyway!

There's still a few shows left, but I have no idea when they'll show so for now, this is about it! Be sure to let me know what you're faves are...


RAG & BONE:



Stripes, calf-length skirts, sheers,... It's all very casual (as is often the case with prefall or any other inter-season shows) and I could see myself wearing a lot of these pieces.


3.1 PHILLIP LIM



This is definitely one of my favourites, so good! Love the colours.


JENNI KAYNE



Again, love it. What is it with me and entire red outfits anyway? It all started with this Givenchy outfit, and I'm telling you, I'm on to something here. Note to self: get your own red outfit ASAP.


THAKOON



Same note: RED PLEASE.


JUSTIN WU



The collection was much larger, but I only took out these 3 looks as they really spoke to me. The rest of the collection, not so much. Shame, but I really do love these 3.


BURBERRY



You didn't think I'd leave out you boys, did you!? Here's some food for thought for you guys.


BCBG



I usually skip watching BCBG all together on style.com, but I had some spare time and I thought: oh why not watch this anyway. I did, and I was really surprised, I clearly had a wrong impression of BCBG. I'm not saying they're my new favourite brand, but this is not bad at all.


TIBI



Last but not least, Tibi. OOh so sweet.

PARIS-BYZANCE

So well, prefall season started a while back and one of the first to show their new collection was Chanel (on december 7th... I only got around to posting it now!).

After last year's enormous Shanghai show, Karl probably felt like doing something more intimate. Rather than taking it all to Istanbul, he redecorated the couture salon at the shop in Paris to look like some sort of Byzantian lounge room (scroll down for a pic).

Even though Chanel isn't the most wearable out of these prefall collections, I thought I'd start with them because there's always so much effort put in the spectacle, it's more than just 'the clothes'. I collected some pictures - runway, backstage, fittings, etc, so we could all have a little glimpse of what's really going on behind closed Chanel doors.

MORE PREFALL

I know, my post titles are amongst the most creative ones here in the blogosphere... I guess I just like them to be short and very clear about the post's subject. But please tell me I'm not the only one struggling with post titles. Anyone?
But ok, let's get to the point: prefall collections!
It's kind of hard to keep up with these collections since, unlike the usual spring/summer & autumn/winter season, these shows aren't grouped into one week. They're in a totally random order and the first ones were already shown in the beginning of december! So, I didn't want you to miss out on all the goodness, hence this image-heavy post!
Let's take a look, shall we?// NOTE: I only post a few of the looks, if you like what you see, make sure you check out the rest of the collections!

First up: Chloé.


A few of the looks were a bit too masculine for me, but overall this isn't bad at all. I just posted the looks I liked the most, check out the rest of the collection and tell me what you think.

Next: Moschino.


I don't think I've ever featured a Moschino collection on here, I tend to skip most of the Milan collections -oops. Why? I guess Milan is, of all 4 main fashion weeks, least my style. (my list would be: Paris/NY/London/Milan style-wise. Do tell me your list.)
Back to Moschino, this collection is quite cute, right?

Third: Stella McCartney.


I'd kill for the first look. Seriously. Another great and very wearable collection, I envy the girls who get to wear Stella. At least I wear her perfume, that's something, right? (I use 'Stella in 2', peonies mmmmm)

Fourth: Viktor & Rolf.


I know not everyone is going to like this, but I do. Because they're worth it.

And last but not least (told you this was going to be image-heavy!): Celine.


Not super super excited about this collection, but I do like the direction Celine is going. Getting Phoebe Philo to design for them was of course a very smart move.


Anyone care to pick a favourite?

PREFALL

So as you may or may not know, prefall 2010 collections have been going on for about a month now. There were some that I liked, some that I didn't and here's one I loved: Proenza Schouler. Enjoy!

TWO TIMES MARNI TODAY

Sorry for being away for the last few days, I've done some shopping (probably a little post about that tomorrow!) and had to deal with some stuff from school.
BUT! I have the Marni Fall Winter 09-10 for you. I LOVED this collection, has to be my favourite from Milan! You'll see why:


Pictures from style.com

Consuelo Castiglioni, this is one of your best Marni shows ever!

And why the two times Marni in my post title? Well, while browsing the new collection on style.com, I quickly discovered I hadn't seen the Marni Prefall show yet!! I'm so glad I found out about this, because the prefall show was amazing as well...


Pictures from style.com

I am really impressed with the prefall 09 shows, (remember Proenza Schouler? I can't get over how much I loved that one! Oh and Jack & Lazaro, you can send me those pieces now, ok? Thanks!)


And totally non-related to this topic, you can now follow me on Twitter! Drop me a line if you're on twitter as well, I'd love to read all of your adventures haha ^-^

PROENZA AS PROMISED

I give you, Proenza Schouler prefall 09

Pictures from style.com

I'm falling more and more in love with the looks every time I look at them!

LANVIN

So I hope I'm not boring you with all of these prefall shows, but this is Lanvin and since I'm a Lanvin-lover, I'm not keeping this one from you!


Pictures from style.com

Big fan of #3 (first row) and #2(second row).
The sequins-look on the second row is obviously pretty over the top, but the gold sequined skirt could look great with a simple black top (and maybe a Lanvin necklace if you still have money left after buying the skirt ^-^)
Oh and PS! Look closely to the model on the last 3 pictures of the first row! Recognise anyone? Maybe with platinum blonde hair? It's Hannelore Knuts! Talk about long time no see...

There were some other prefall shows too, like Balenciaga and Proenza Schouler.
I'm only showing you one picture of Balenciaga because, well, I didn't like it... I'm not anti-fur but this looked a little too scary for me!


Picture from style.com

And I'm still sifting through the Proenza Schouler pictures, I can't seem to keep my selection of looks under 20... So expect another post of that real soon, after I narrowed my selection a bit!

ANOTHER PREFALL SHOW

This time it's Phi's turn...

I'm not really into the green, but the overall looks are very very nice. I love the triple belt too, it looks great on the dresses (Note to self: find 3 black belts and get them stiched together by my shoemaker)
Phi is really one that gets better every season!

MORE PREFALL-MORE PASTELS

Tell me if this is getting boring, but here's some more prefall, and again, lots of pastels! I have to say, actually I like these pastels, I can see myself wearing these clothes!
Here's what Rag & Bone came up with for prefall:

pictures from style.com

Sorry for all of these pictures... I really couldn't choose!!
These are 12 looks I chose, and there was a total of 16 looks. I guess I'll have to say this is my favourite of the prefall09 collections.

WANG ANYONE?

All pictures from style.com
As with Doo.Ri, I really like the black mixed with a few pastels. Alexander Wang just keeps rising on my appreciation list with every collection he makes! ^-^

PREFALL AHEAD

It feels almost like yesterday when I saw the collections for spring summer 2009, and here they are again, its prefall time!!!
I loved these silhouettes by Doo.Ri, very simple & very clean!
