the best in grey - spring '11

unfortunately, i skipped my "the best in grey winter '10-'11" edition, but no worries because the promise and hope and flowers of spring can fix that mistake... :)

this past winter season had some really great grey pieces, though, from coats to scarves to boots. i was loving how grey suddenly became so luxe with added sparkle (sequins on sweaters), fun fabrics (flannel pumps) and fur galore (on vests, gloves, hats, scarves...and that's faux or real...whatever floated your boat).

but for now, we're moving onto spring, and i am of course loving some of the pieces i've seen so far. luxe grey is still going strong, but it is enhanced with some light and flowy pieces -- which add a breath of fresh air.

j.mendel -- new york fashion week, spring 2010

soft & romantic, neutral & shy colors, easy-flowing silhouettes...but strong drama in the details. j.mendel gowns command attention without making much noise.

grandior






these vivid, sumptuous looks from dior are divine -- and thank goodness for some opulence -- getting tired of seeing all the minimalism as of late.

while a simplistic style can be just as striking, especially in real life, sometimes grandand over-the-top looks are what we need to give us a pop of energy and fun in fashion again.

the intense colors, intricate embroidery, exaggerated makeup, and extravagant jewelry of the show is all so exciting to see.

georgina chapman, town and country march 2009





i've always been slightly obsessed with the immense beauty and style of the stunning georgina chapman, co-designer of marchesa. chapman creates hollywood's most sought-after gowns (which i've written about both here and here on this blog).

this town and country editorial is one of the most stunning i've seen -- playing the role of an fairy tale princess in her own dream-like gowns, chapman's grandeur is unmatchable.

easy elegance by means of delicate chiffon gowns in beautiful washes of color and print were presented in this collection. the few, if any, adornments to these dresses included simple jewels or sublte embroidery that slightly enhanced the overall breezy feel of the show.
