L IS FOR LONDON

London has way too many good collections going on for fall 09, but I'll try to condense them as much as I can( ok no I won't). My favorites so far...




O.K. lets hope I don't mess this up. From the top left:
1-3. is Luella Bartley.
4-8. Jenny Packham.
Her work reminds me of the renaissance Venetian art I am learning about in class: very intricate and decorative. #6. reminds me of the costume of the silk spectre from WATCHMEN-yes I'm a nerd I realize, but I'm really excited for the movie.
9-10. Christopher Kane
11-15. Eley Kishimono. If flight attendants dressed like that maybe I would have been one. I love the blue.
16. Paul Costelloe.
17-18. Nathan Jenden
19. Aquascutum.
20-22. John Rocha
23. Basso & Brooke. Not afraid of color thats for sure.

LORICK

O.K.
so I'm not going to say too much about Lorick right now { because a. I'm tired as it's 1:33 and b. I will definitely be writing more on this topic in the future.} Because... drum roll please... I will be interning there in the summer ( I know I still can't believe it.) I've seen a lot popping up about Lorick on other blogs, but to sum things up: Abigail Lorick, model turned designer gets her shiny new line on Gossip Girl and now, here we are: fall 09 collection. Her classic yet playful designs had a more sombre felling to them this season, to represent the economic times:

“This Fall ‘09, I hope the Lorick collection inspires our ladies to draw themselves through these difficult times with their elegance shining stronger than ever.”
