goody bag

These bags from the Chanel Fall 09 collection really made me smile. I vaguely remeber having something similar when I was a little girl to store my dolls' accessories. Obviously, these versions are more sophisticated holding an adorable quilted bag and other useful Chanel things. It is a bit unclear if these bag creations have any practical relevance; but still Karl just always has the best und funniest ideas and who would say no to the Chanel goody bag??

clothes that girls want to wear!

I am deeply in love with everything Isabel Marant.
So, despite several bloggers already having reviewed it, I just HAVE to show my personal highlights from Marant's Fall 09 collection:

It is perfect: the Harem pants tucked into knee-high boots, fur, leopard, tweed, studded boots...

needless to say that I would even rob a bank to get all of this...

Big shoulders

At first I was a bit skeptical about the "big shoulders" trend. But once I got used to it, I can't actually get enough anymore! I wonder when Zara & Co. are finally showing some great pieces with big shoulder pads, I'll be the first to get one....!!

Christophe Decarnin is the master of big shoulders, they're again a big theme in his new Fall 09 collection.



Twenty8Twelve also showed some nice tops with big shoulders. I really like the left one, it should be pretty easy to wear...

Bravissimo

To me Missoni is the best collection from Milano and probably my very favourite of all the Fall shows seen until now. The looks are so fresh - I love all the layering, the long scarfs, the loose leggins, the pale colour palette, the delicate knits...its pure perfection!

pretty & punk

I'm so busy that I can hardly catch up on all the Fashion shows, which were shown in NY and London...and there is also Milan FW starting today...I don't even know where to star!
So I just post some Luella looks, cause I love Luella, each season again!!
This time I particularly like all the cute gold details and the zippers...and it's great that each model has a unique styling.

Luella's big sis

Erin Fetherson showed a truely wonderful collection in New York. In contrast to her usual flowy dresses, she incorporated a lot of structure and pulled off bell-shaped skirts with little tailored jackets, while keeping her very personal "fairy tale" touch.
All in all, the collection reminded me a lot of the Luella girl. Just more grown-up, polished and sophisticated!
Compare it yourself: Luella from past three seasons vs. Erin Fetherson A/W 09.

the Wang girl...

...kind of seems more grown-up. Wang does more tailoring, structure, luxury like fur elements and crocodile pattern. Despite all sophistication, the Wang girl stays true to herself: sexy, fierce and just enough rock'n'roll. I LIKE it!

Rag & Bone A/W 09

This collection is one of my very personal favourites from NY Fashion Week until now. Each piece is cool, edgy, full of energy, yet wearble. I could totaly see myself in these clothes, which seem to follow the theme of an urban warrior girl, as style.com puts it.
