Pre-Falling

New Pre-Fall collections are coming out daily, and I could not help myself but to stay awake late and look at all of the collections that are currently on style.com. My personal favorite designers such as Proenza Schouler and 3.1 Phillip Lim have already unveiled their pre-fall designs, and leave it for Fall Fashion Week for more of my favorite to show their collections.

Furs, patterns, and dark colors are just some of the characteristics that I have noticed in the 2011 pre-fall collections, traits which seem strangely familiar from 2010's fall trends. While the usual fur vest is still a popular design, I noticed that other articles of clothing were designed with furs, such as scarves and boleros. Pants and long skirts have been a major part of many designers' 2011 Pre-Fall Collections. Here are a few of my favorite looks from various designers who have revealed glimpses into their Fall 2011 collections. (All pictures from Style.com)

From Alber Elbaz's dangerously chi-flowy dresses photographed with wild animals such as panthers, polar bears, and other feline creatures, to Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough's beautiful patterned fabrics, Pre-Fall collections have been far from disappointing!

May I just reiterate the ambitiousness of Alber Elbaz to have his models model with wild animals? The prize for most creative photos definitely goes to Lanvin!

Diane Von Furstenberg

I love the colors that DVF used, the combination of aqua, green, and yellow are exquisite, although it does look more like a spring palette!

La Vie en 2011

Happy New Year! I am back now as a second semester senior, and back to blog. As the 2011 year starts, I have begun interning at the Houston Magazine! I have been learning about more Houston hot spots and have turned into a 100% foodie. 

And for more exciting news, I am going fabric shopping tomorrow and will start my last semester at Glassell this Saturday (which is sad). 

Here are some of my favorite looks from Lookbook.nu. Frida J is the blonde and she is from Sweden. I hype every single one of her looks. They are all so different plus she dresses in my favorite colors (navy, pales, golds).

Loving the red tights, Jeffrey Campbell shoes, and cool pant looks that this avid lookbooker posts! Check out lookbook.nu for more pictures including my own lookbook posts!

Marc Jacobs

As many of you know, I went to one of Marc Jacobs' studios in New York City where I saw some of his sample pieces for his runway shows being made, and talked to one of the people who work closely with Jacobs during the shows fixing the pieces the day of the show etc.(See The.City post for more details).

I was inspired to write a little mock entry for an English assignment about Marc Jacobs for this really cool website, Stuff Jewish Young Adults Like and I recently submitted my entry and actually got it on the page! Check it out, along with the other very funny entries! PS the shout out is great!!

Necessary

These pictures that are about to be posted and just some random pictures of different styles and designs that I am obsessed with.  Whether it is the color, the draping, or the design, the following pictures are a compilation of some great things that I have saved. Most of them are fall/wintery, but there are some spring related items in there. I love the browns, the patterns that use black, and the combination of off white with black as well. Enjoy!

Fashion Houston, Day 3

Guess who should have posted this ages ago? Anyways here was the lineup:

1. Chloe Dao
2. Toni Whitaker
3. Irina Shabayeva
4. Marc Bouwer
5. Kiton

1. Chloe Dao

She's a personal favorite of mine--I wore one of her dresses to the show. Her new designs were so beautiful, the scene was set by a video that showed some of her designs and the first model that went down the runway had balloons, like the balloons that were in the video. Her selection of music was a poppy French song that went along with the bright blues and pinks that were used throughout her spring 2011 collection.

3. Irina Shabayeva

LOVE HER. Her collection was absolutely astonishing, there were so many pieces. Her theme was flowers, and that was portrayed through the different dresses that looked like flowers. Her craft with the draping of the fabrics was beautiful. The opening piece was a chic dress that I wanted to take home! Click here to watch Irina's show. She posted this video on her facebook page!

4. Marc Bouwer

Picture from ABC channel 13, Marc Bouwer

He had an array of clothing. He presented to different collections in one show, so you can imagine the number of pieces he had. One of his models kicked off her shoes in order to evade a horrible fall! Click here for pictures from the show from ABC channel 13.

p.s I will be making a dress this weekend in response to a painting, so be on the look out for pictures! Maybe I will squeeze in a few other designs too.
