runway selections | oscar de la renta
this collection, for me, is the perfect example of womenswear.
de la renta does it the right way & sticks to what he knows best. classic, chic, stylish garments.
i love the leather skirts, the skunk looks incredibly stylish & im not one to opt for skunk, i love the metallic shoes.
following are my selections. if your not familiar with oscar`s work i suggest you do some research.

runway selections | michael kors
what i like most about this collection is its luxury appeal. michael kors seems to speak to the jetsetter type- you can totally see these looks coming off of a private jet or strolling through LAX or NYC. classic chic. my selections..

runway selections | proenza schouler
something different was happening here this season. i loved the colors, dark is my thing get off it! one of the looks in particular had a unisex quality to it. i loved the textures used in the coats & the combat boots grew on me as i neared the end of my viewing the collection. i`ve already confessed my love for proenza schouler bags & i dont eeeven care if they are for women; i`d rock one. it has a masculine element to it which, duh, i find hot. this collection presented classic elements based on futuristic ideas & concepts. i loved it.
follows are my selected images for the fall 2009 collection.

runway selections | zac posen
this collection for me was seemingly vintage inspired & made a good attempt at presenting something grand, something regal. i dont know how wise it was to go in this direction as these are hard times for many of us in the american economy; but i cant hate- if you got it flaunt it, i guess. though the couture-like overkill construction of the clothes isnt really my thing when it comes to ready-to-wear, i can appreciate the collection for what it is.
following are my hand selected images from the fall collection.

runway selections | j.mendel
i first got really interested in the designs of j.mendel after seeing the valentino-esque gown worn by eva longoria at the golden globes last year; this season, i selected the following images as standout pieces of the fall/winter showcase. enjoy.
