You can look far and wide and you won't see another collection like this. Alexander McQueen always designs outside of the box and sometimes its even further than his peers, maybe it's because he's an English designer. There were a ton of corset's in this collection, there was really a symbol of scale from small to big. In most of the dresses the waist was synched and the rest of the dress was wide and alive. This look above is my favorite.
Hermés goes western with this collection, Jean Paul Gaultier has taken a chance by doing this entire collection with an obvious western persuasion. The whole thing looks like a movie and as the show progressed it seemed more like different scene's in the movie than a runway show. This show was phenomenal for a reason other than the direction that the designer took with this collection. Stay tuned for more on the Hermés show.
Alessandra Facchinetti doesn't disappoint with this collection for Valentino. It was a beautiful collection touched with elegance. One thing that any designer must keep in mind about the heritage of Valentino is that its elegant first then its beautiful; elegance is key. I love what she has done with the collection, she has maintained the heritage feeling of Valentino but has added her own little flair to the collection and the end result is looking good.
Martin Sitbon shows how creative she can get with this collection for Rue du Mail. This collection was all about shapes and forms. The clothes fit the shape of the female body but the form goes much further than dresses usually go almost like a futuristic protective spacesuit. Beauty isn't lost in the process and that is very important, the materials that were used aren't typical and I think thats what made the collection so special. There were a lot of unique jackets as well as skirts and tops. The look above is my favorite look from the show.
