Style.com recently released their top 10 collection picks from the Spring 2011 Fashion Week that was hosted in New York City.
Coming in first, with extravagant butterfly-winged dresses and tailcoats, was Alexander McQueen. Sarah Burton McQueen needed to prove herself in order solidify this amazing label's legacy, and she definitely met everyone’s expectations with an even friendlier and softer vibe. Tears and a standing ovation rounded out this amazing runway performance.
Next came Chanel, stacked with three fountains and an 80-piece orchestra. Karl Lagerfeld demonstrated a “couture-come-undone feel” with skirt suits filled with holes and perfect materials cut up and damaged. Chanel has always been my personal favorite and I would give anything to see such a breathtaking show.
The short-and-sexy look coined by Christopher Kane came next. Although, Kane altered his famous look this year with tattoo prints and leather lace, but his designs continued to be alluring even with the added strangeness.
Emilio Pucci’s collection came fourth in the rankings, but Peter Dundas still managed to design the hottest lace-up boots of the season. Dundas brought sexy to another level with “slit-up-to-there gowns,” and nobody could top his sultriness.
Haider Ackermann is not a name to dismiss with his modern gowns made of silk and black leather. Everyone is always pleased to see a daring take on modern apparel.
The Lanvin label came in seventh with their “irresistibly chic” designs that address women’s needs. The outfits were breezy and colorful, paired with flat sandals-Alber Elbaz definitely knows how to fulfill a woman’s fashion desires.
Marc Jacobs is another personal favorite of mine, with his “feel-good” seventies inspired designs and the floral touches he never fails to perfect. Marc Jacobs, ranking at number eight, is a classic designer who will always shock an audience with his brilliance.
Finishing off the top 10 picks was Proenza Schouler. Their sophisticated collection consisted of tweed jackets and pastel skirts, officially shedding Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough of the “young designer” title.
All of these designers did an excellent job at putting their own twist to modern fashion themes. Spring 2011 will experience fashions like never before, and I agree completely with Style.com’s take on who led New York's latest fashion week.
I like how Style.com included famous fashion houses like Chanel, but also less well known styles by Haider Ackermann. It's nice to see that not just the iconic fashion houses are putting on remarkable shows. I am curious to see what trends from the runway will become the most popular this spring?
ReplyDeleteI am so excited that Marc Jacobs made the show because his clean and simple line is one of my favorites. I have never been to a fashion show but this one seems like it would have been a great one to attend.
ReplyDeleteThis spring I want to rock the pastel skirt look, hopefully I get the courage to buy one and pull it off!
