L♥♥king At 3 Designers

 

Let's take a look at 3 designer's lookbooks that came across my way this week, and caught my attention. The 3 are from different parts of the world: Brazil, London, and New York.

On the first row we have Brazilian designer Gloria Coelho, and her S/S 2010 campaign (more of which can be found here). Complete love, especially to how none-local her design is.

It's followed by Ronit Genik's Reverie brand, of NYC. The fall 09.10 lookbook leaves you desired and able to slip into one of its outfits, and to hit the scene in a whimsical style.

Lastly, and thanks to Style Bubble, we have Krystof Strozyna, of London; and his S/S 2010 lookbook. Susie did a good review of it, and where you'll find more pics.

How Long Can You Hold uP Your Arms For?

For his Spring 2010 Calvin Klein Jeans presentation creative director Kevin Carrigan seems to have chosen to bring focus to each pair of shorts and pants, without a top distraction; So he, again, seems to have directed the girls to, you know, slip off the top.

The Barn Of Chanel

 

Well you gotta give it to Karl for thinking different. While the clothe were Chanely as usual, at least the setting was entertaining and amusing. Here is a look at the S/S 10 setting, with more images here.

Points of interest, Heidi Mount opened the show, and held a pig earlier. No electronic devices were allowed to be used during the show, but that didnt stop people from tweeting.

Yum | A.F. Vandevorst S/S 1♥

 

Paris; The A.F. Vandevorst S/S 10 collection is yummylicious. One of my fav of the upcoming Spring season. It's your grandma's tights turned sexy. These are 17 of the 35 piece collection. Alisa Matviychuk opened the show.

The Story Of Fashion By Alber Elbaz

Extracted from a WWD article, of Alber Elbaz speaking at UNESCO.

Elbaz:

"I’m here to tell the story of fashion..."

On fashion being a marathon and designers:

“work very hard, but we lose no calories, unfortunately.”

On likening fashion to cooking:

“If we cut the butter, we can make it better.”

On craft skills being in peril, & the superficial culture the Internet engenders:

“Do you know anyone who wants to be a seamstress? Do you know anyone who wants to be a tailor? I don’t, either. But I do know many people who want to be models, and not only models, but supermodels. This is the game today: Be famous, and do it really, really fast.”

On how his collection looks on a computer screen:

“Whatever looks good in the picture doesn’t always look good in real life,”

The End.

“In the music industry, you can have a lifetime career with one great album,... We’re only as good as our next collection — in other words, no credibility at all.”
