Fall 2009, Part 2

Just sharing some more items I found in the Fall 2009 collections...

Below: Vivienne Tam's dramatic, flowing gown.




Below: Proenza Schouler's multi-textured dress.



Below: Evidence that Oscar de la Renta continues to be one of my all-time favorite designers - a fabulous leopard print, belted dress!




Below: I love the feminine details of Naeem Khan's designs as well as the fact that he wasn't afraid to use colors like light peach and white in his fall collection.






Below: As usual, Marchesa displayed some gorgeous gowns.




Below: J. Mendel's use of pintucks and waist details made for a very ladylike collection.




Below: Isaac Mizrahi - The rich colors in this dress truly evoke an autumn palette. The leather belt and jacket are wonderful extra touches.

Fall 2009, Part 1

I've been actively checking the Fall 2009 RTW lines as they're posted to Style.com, and I'm afraid to say that so far I've been a bit disappointed. (Can someone please explain to me why shoulder pads are making appearances on many of the runways??) Not much has been catching my eye this season, but here are some gems that I found within the rubbish.

Below: Lela Rose's gowns were gorgeous. I love the use of the belts to create a waist in the flowing fabrics.



Below: Jill Stuart's babydoll frock that looks like a confection. How sweet!
Below: Chris Benz's collection stood out immediately because he chose to use rich, sunny colors in his fall collection. I get tired of seeing the same palette of black and gray, so this was refreshing! I particularly liked the interesting silhouette below that combines an empire waist and a pencil skirt.


Below: Donna Karan, one of my all-time favorite designers, had an overall bland collection, but I did find this gorgeous dress towards the end.
