Christopher Bailey's creates a collection where each singular
pieces manifests details and craftsmanship that is progressive
in his own design aesthetic and the house of Burberry. Perhaps
one of my favourite collections from Bailey to date from the
colours; the beads; the patterns; the embelishments where does
one start and end, an exciting direction for Bailey.

Christophe Lemaire's debut collection was a hommage
to the house of Hermes, some suggest it had an oriental
approach but I would suggest a universal approach. The
colours and materials are what always appeals from Hermes
and the typical details of leather piping and the use of
tweed and cashmere are all notorious to the house. Lemaire's
approach is incredibly different to Jean-Paul Gaultier's who
referenced the house original equestrian element and his own
agenda of a strong and dominating woman were Lemaire
accentuates this feminine universality.

Philo's collection for Celine is modern and progressive with
such high demand for her previous collections this season's
coat will be a necessity for the Celine woman- they are
ofcourse simple and understated with fine details from a
slim lapel to slight A-line cuts, the standout coat however
is the punchy yellow coat which appears to be a reoccuring
piece amongst the fall 2011 shows.

So apologies to my readers for the delayed update of Paris
Fashion Week, I am still digesting all the amazing collections
for what is universally the most spectacular week of the year
in fashion. So what collection shall one start Paris fashion week
assessing? I can't decide either so I have chosen to run them
in alphabetical order, so here we are with Akris. This
minimalist collection is incredibly striking with warm tones of
yellow, burgundy and taupe, all accented with luxurious
materials such as leathers, suedes and cashmere.The execution
of contrasting and two-tones are cleverly composed.

Aquilano Rimondi's fall collection was reminiscient of
a 1960's aesthetic particularly the coats in their
proportions, simplicity and contrasting collars. In
keeping with the 60's inspiration they work with
grid lines in their dresses and embelishing them
carefully with luxurious fabric treatments.

As I look through all the fall collections coming together from
new york, london and milan it appears more and more the
reoccuring theme is colour; bright and bold and who else to
master those bold colours than Raf Simons. Following a
vibrant spring collection and also menswear fall collection
Raf delivers a wholesome collection filled with graphics
and constructivist forms and volume to be likened to the
works of cristobal balenciaga.

best of fendi fall 2011 shoes times three

Much like the bags in the ready to wear for this fall 2011
collection Karl and Silvia use similar techniques and
materials to appropriate their shoes - that is stingray contrast
with calf skin and detailing with etched patterns. The
mary-jane shoe dominates the collection unlike fall 2010
where it was all about the boot in ostrich and suede with
the rubber front. A sweet and feminine approach for this
fall.
