flared pants, impressionistic flower prints, brown strappy gladiators on perspex stripper heels. makes me excited for summer. a little messy, but so fresh. makes me see a lot of typical silhouettes and basics in a new light. a lot of cleaning up, and this collection would have been amazing. i think you'd have to watch the show to appreciate, stills just don't do it.

blogger's favourite no doubt. can't help but love it, so simple and chic. perfectly comfortable. love the wedge of the shoe, hate the rest of it, don't even know what they were thinking. and the sunnies - say what? most unflattering shape i've ever seen in my entire life.



mary katrantzou
the master of prints, i can't even fathom the skill needed to be able to put together such difficult prints and not make it clash or just plain ugly. and they are really effective on the simple silhouette. lovely shoes.



charles anastase
another blogger favourite. shoes are always amazing. maybe i'm just a sucker for awkward length skirts.

sheer is the perfffect transitional fabric, or even just straight into summer. reminiscent of fall looks yet still floaty and cool enough for summer. LOVE IT.



matthew williamson
maxi's were so beautiful. so floaty and summery. this collection reminds me of travelling to exotic places and having lunch at corner cafe's.



erderm
ok christopher kane's fw10 fail photogrphic floral prints have been rescued by erdem who have just WON. MY HEART. so difficult to find the best 6 .. i kind of didn't want to push it, but i sincerely recommend you look at the entire collection.



peter pilotto
a lot of clash and unflatteringness with fabrics/drape and working with the patterns but when it worked, it worked so well.



antonio berardi
the splash of hot pink was so perfect in the middle, and then the muted pastels towards the end. nothing groundbreaking, but pretty and wearable doesn't need to be groundbreaking.





honourable mentions
sass and bide
i think they've pretty much reached their prime. they've got an obvious aesthetic that is pinpoint-able from the get go, which is not necessarily a bad thing ... and on second thought probably a great thing. there is no doubt sass and bide had one of the better runway shows, i guess i've never really liked sass and bide just because their clothes are ridiculously overpriced - and not even that nice. let's just see what they do next season.
burberry
very typical burberry although i did fail to see the summer in the collection due to all the trench coats and studded leather jackets but whatever. the leopard prints were horrible. this was bailey going out on a limb and kind of failing. atleast the looks that were safe were done perfectly.
karen walker
so cute! some of it bordered on pyjama wear, but seriously the florals that didn't were so unbelievably cute i wanted to die.




milan's started and i'm already disappointed. even some of the big labels failed to impress me .. not that any of them usually do. SEE YOU IN A FEW DAYS!
