runway to highstreet - givenchy fall 08

I know everyone has been crazy about the Givenchy Fall 08 collection but I have to mention it as well. I always adore Givenchy and the Fall 08 collection was so strong and captivating. It made me want to dress all black this fall. I really love the dark goth romance, it's definitely my favorite trend of the season.

Midnight blue, sweet and romantic. Definitely an option should you ever get sick of the dark gothic trend this fall.

runway to highstreet - rodarte fall 08

To me Rodarte's RTW Fall 08 collection is like Alice in Wonderland gone bad.
As the designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy already said "the connection between the Kabuki tradition and that of modern Japanese horror films." Horror films. Exactly what comes to mind when looking at those dresses. But at beginning the collection is quite powdery and dreamy, which is why I thought of Alice in Wonderland...with a knife..haha.

After looking at all these "slasher" dresses I think I definitely need something out of red chiffon!

Paris Fashion Week: Chloé

Fall 2008 Ready to Wear

I always love Chloé but I don't like this as much as I did the last two collections. Still it's wonderful and I'd wear almost everything from this collection. I love all the chiffon, so girly and the embroidery jewels are beautiful.

Paris Fashion Week: Kenzo

Fall 2008 Ready to Wear

I love how the clothes are cut and those patterns and prints look fantastic. This whole collection is amazing, the Japan and Samurai reference is wonderfully interpreted.

This is wonderful, Lacroix never disappoints me.

Paris Fashion Week: Alexander McQueen

I guess you could say that this looks a little costume-y but I love it nonetheless.

Paris Fashion Week: Chanel, YSL,

Fall 2008 Ready to Wear

Chanel was okay, nothing special (as usual). But there were some pretty dresses that I really liked.

Paris Fashion Week: Balenciaga

Fall 2008 Ready to Wear

I love love loove this! Amazing silhouettes just like he did last season but this time the pieces are much more wearable.
This is so sleek and elegant yet has a very feminine touch to it.
I'd say this is minimalism at its best, congratulation to Nicolas Ghesquiere.

Paris Fashion Week: Isabel Marant

I'm totally in love with every single piece of this collection. It's exactly my style and what I'd love to wear everyday. It's nothing really innovative or extremely fashion forward but definitely very wearable and pretty. If I had the money I'd make the entire collection my fall wardrobe =P. I especially like those Grey semi-opaque leggings.

Paris Fashion Week: Vivienne Westwood

Fall 2008 Ready to Wear

I always love to see what Vivienne Westwood comes up with, the collections are so much fun to watch and never boring. Overall the collection isn't really wearable but that's not what I expect from her anyway. Nonetheless there are some nice individual pieces.

Paris Fashion Week: Balmain, Christian Dior

Yay, Paris Fashion week has started! Paris is always my favorite..can't wait for Balenciaga, Chloé, Lacroix, Givenchy, Dries Van Noten, Hussein Chalayan, JPG, Labvin, Miu Miu...so many great shows in Paris <3


Balmain made a good start for Paris Fashion week. I have to say that I love almost every piece of this collection. It's so rock and roll yet glamorous.

I was quite disappointed with the Christian Dior show. It all looks kind of cheap and that make-up is just plain tacky. I picked out some pieces that I liked...still Galliano could do so much better >.<

Milan Fashion Week: Fendi
