Fendi Fall 2010 RTW

Ok. So this post took me ALL day because I am a huge geek and was determined to write an abcedarian poem about this collection with every line ending in Fendi (thank you David for making this bizarre and slightly masochistic format stick 3 years after our workshop).

Today's inspiration

I would like to be wearing every single one of these outfits - I think they reflect a style that I strive for -  kind of a 60s-mod-icon-meets-flower-child / very-polished-yet-casual look. I think there's a lot here that I've written about too - the denim and florals and nudes, for example? Yes.

Alberta Ferretti Fall 2010 RTW

When I think of Alberta Ferretti, I think of a subdued and understated glamour, which is the antithesis to my Versace post, right? Alberta Ferretti makes dresses that are soft on the eyes and elegant. Far from being plain, though, Ferretti adds a subtle glitz to her look - I keep picturing Audrey Hepburn. Wearing one of her dresses wouldn't dead stop a party, but people would be whispering about you all night, which is a kind of attention I personally prefer! I love the first nude dress (if my message hasn't quite hit home, let me repeat that I LOVE NUDES right now) with its delicate jeweled embellishments. Another favourite is the white dress Freja is wearing, with its sheer sleeves decorated with sparkles. I posted the long black tulle dress because it reminds me of a simplified Marchesa dress.

Versace Fall 2010 RTW

I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD WRITE IN CAPITAL LETTERS BECAUSE EVERYTHING ABOUT DONATELLA'S COLLECTION SCREAMS NOTICE ME. ELECTRIC COLOURS, METALLIC BODY-CONS, CUT-OUT DRESSES AND SEXY SLITS RUNNING ALL THE WAY UP THE LEG. IF YOU EVER WANT TO WITNESS A LOUD PARTY INSTANTANEOUSLY DIMINISH TO THE MERE SOUND OF ICE CLINKING IN COCKTAILS, WALK INTO ONE WEARING A DRESS FROM THIS COLLECTION.

D&G Fall 2010 RTW

Ok, so maybe the reindeer sweater onesies and massive fur boots were a bit too Ski Bunny for me and not wearable outside of a fictional 60s ski resort (think the original Pink Panther), but I did appreciate the spunky spirit of the collection. I also appreciated the velvet tuxedo blazers and the beautiful series of long flowy white dresses.
