It seems Bill Gaytten just can’t catch a break (that is, after catching his big Dior shaped break).  His couture collection was questionable to say the least, and like the (what looked like) huge shards of candy that adorned Dior corsets it was perhaps a little hard for the fashion press to swallow.  Never-the-less his safe-playing Fall collection went some way to appeasing disgruntled fans, at least that’s what I thought, until I saw this.

You see, whether or not it was a case of a copy-cat, you can’t help but compare.  Although actually there’s no comparison, Elbaz hands down I’m afraid Bill.  Still, it could just be me.  Ahah, this calls for a vote.

Resort 2010

I love these wide leg trousers, the print is interesting without being overpowering.  This kind of thing is something Rachel Roy is so good at getting right.  And despite it being, to all extents and purposes a fully white outfit, it is still remarkably wearable.

Grunge Glamour

This maxi skirt is so lush, especially with the juxtaposed rock styling.  I would wear this in a heartbeat (just swap for a long sleeved top underneath). Oh and those shades are just uber cool.

The Best Bits

The last time I wore dungarees I was 10 (ish), but when I saw them in the Autumn collections I fell back in love. They had a new, looser, more feminine shape and came in some interesting fabrics. These are my favourites so far from the Autumn ‘09 and Spring Summer ‘10 collections. But which is your favourite?

Picking up on a trend that I love this combination of masculine and feminine creates striking combinations and interesting shapes. You get an elegant loose and modest look that has a hard edge. But which is your favourite?

There are a lot of ways to do drape, and you can create some wonderful dramatic and layered looks. But which do you prefer?

Celeb Style

For these fashionistas it’s all about prints and bright colours, whether it has a vintage feel or future fantastic optical prints a maxi dress can be a great canvas.

Adding a bit of bling to your winter outfits, sequins were glittering all over runways this Autumn. They came in different sizes and colours, small and in patterns or big and bold all you need to decide on is your favourite look.
