I really enjoyed the photos Hanelli took post Valentino couture. This picture stood out the most.
Amazing blouse + blazer + shorts combo. I love the purple box print. Each item looks comfortable and chic at the same time.
Great look for pre-fall as the weather cools off. Probably best at 58F-65F.
Rather than the traditional Versace monochrome mini dress, a more modern, fresh Versace look was placed in the Fall/Winter print ads.
The collection also features a wide array of very Versace flowy gowns, but I really like how they went a different direction with the sculpted and sliced dresses featured in the ads. The mini skirt length is still very Versace, but the sliced up patterns make this the freshest looking Versace collection in a long time.

The cloth looks a bit shiny from the pictures – a bit of 80′s geometric polyester.

It’s hard to believe Madame Grès designs were made so long ago. Below is a pre-1950′s dress that looks comfortable and beautiful. The exaggerated pleating is made by sewing elastic onto the inside of the dress. The simple draping and pleating make the dress seem so simple and modern. Now on view at the Met Costume Institute exhibit, American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity.

Here’s video footage of the entire exhibit:
I loved most pieces from yesterday’s Chanel’s 2010 Couture collection. Here are my favorites (photos from Style.com):
Comfy business attire
How can I get this dress made for me? I love how it looks like they took an oversized dress with big shoulders fitted to this model.
I love black crepe/black translucent.
Zig zags in some of my favorite shades.
Half sleeve, but shoulderless.
Boots and jewelry, all so fantastic!
Moschino’s window features a mannequin taking money out of an ATM.

The screen says “Love is Free” and there is a ton of Moschino paper money on the ground that proclaim the same.
Neat window. Possibly commenting on the global economy?
Love may be free, but Moschino certainly isn’t. I can’t believe they designed and printed fake money (on both sides!) for this display.
One of my favorite photo shoots from V magazine. Models as barbie dolls in a dollhouse.
