Versace collection for Fall 2010 unveiled during Milan Fashion Week looks nice and elegant as everything from Versace. It inludes lots of signature Versace short-and-tight dresses as well as long gowns with high splits. But it does have lots of innovative pieces that add glamour to the line.

Donatella Versace obviously took a new route and abandoned the pastel-colored goddess drapery that she used in her Spring 2010 range. Maybe it’s due to the modern tendency to minimalism, pragmatic daywear, and longer lengths, that the designer changed her habitual way of creating things.

There is more about tailoring this time. Combining various fabrics and diverse colors Donatella was able to make beautiful and sophisticated ensembles. Separate geometric pieces of material were zippered together, half-short, half-long skirt were put into same sets and in the result we have pretty garments that are perfect for young people to wear.

I like Issa collections. They are pretty, stylish and often controversial. If we take Spring/ Summer 2010 line with Naomi Campbell ruling the catwalk – I absolutely loved it!

The new collection for Fall 2010 seems very interesting, too. It is focused on grown women mostly and outfits look classy and beautiful. However, it seems the designer hesitated about what target audience to choose and created a few outfits that are youghful. I think the latter type wasn’t very successful with all those sequins and bright prints.

Quilted jackets and ankle boots that were to match an evening dress were a mess. But extra-long leather gloves, grey jersy frocks and smart mini dresses were a hit of the range!

Everyone likes classic in his own way. Some just adore it and wear pieces of this kind daily. Others prefer these items for special occasions. But I don’t know a person who would say that classic is bad.

Burberry is classic, and that’s all we can say. But we want to say more, especially after success the fashion show of Burberry Prorsum had yesterday (February 23). It was broadcast in 3D and could be seen in five places simultaneously. (Read Burberry show in 3D.) In London plenty of celebrities watched it live.

And there was a lot to watch. Christopher Baily was clearly inspired by military trend that became extremely ppulat during the last few seasons. Lots of military jackets, suits and coats were featured on the runway. But these were different from those we are used to seeing in recent seasons. They were more modern, very similar to real military outfits men wear at battle fields.

Besides military style we see many very feminine pieces: light fur-coats, skirts that narrow down to knees, pleated dresses, lacy blouses and absolutely fabulous thigh-high boots. To tell you the truth, I’ve never been a huge fan of these boots, but Burberry ones seem fantastic to me!

It’s obviously the new stage in development of fashion industry as well as the film one. Burberry Prorsum became the first brend who broadcast their fashion show at London Fashion Week live in 3D. It’s a real breakthrough. People could watch the show simultaneously in five different places: New York, Paris, Dubai, Tokyo and Los Angeles.
But while guests abroad had to put on retro red and green glasses to enjoy a simulation front row experience, the red carpet in London was dotted with stars rocking Burberry creations from previous collections.
Lots of celebrities were willing to attend the presentation but only few really had a chance. Among those were: Kate Hudson in a bottle-green sequin Burberry dress, Twilight star Kirsten Stewart in a richly pleated skirt from the S/S 2010 range, fashionista Mary-Kate Olsen in a gorgeous black coat, Claire Danes and others.

Everyone was excited with anticipation. When the lights went out all the talks stopped. Burberry Cadette Girls show began… Lots of military-inspired garments, famous Burberry coats, pleated dresses and so much popular thigh-high boots captured attention. (Read a detailed review of the show.)

Vivienne Westwood is a designer who can create things that are good for both 16 and 60-year-old people. And this keeps her popularity so high year after year. She’s really talented and has good understanding of what people will like to wear.

The fact I personally like Dame Westwood for is that she combines classic looks with new hot trends in such a way everyone feels right. However, sometimes, she goes too far and pieces that just cannot be together are put together. Mess is the result, but isn’t that artsy mess we all want from time to time?

The new collection for Fall 2010 looks incredibly modern with all those vibrant-colored leggings, draped dresses and huge shoulders. But it is as well classic and includes romantic Red Label heritage: plaids and stripes, and soft flowing silhouettes.

Lots of items do look great in the range, though I would choose other combos to wear with them. Little black dresses, trousers that come in light pink-and-orange stripes, a leopard strapless dress, a plaid skirt suit, knee-high socks and bright ankle boots with lace detail in front did make a dead set in my heart.

This is the first collection from New York Fashion Week that I’m going to tell you about. And you know why? Because I just love the fact every piece in this range is wearable!

Erin Wasson has a great feeling of what is stylish and comfortable and … perfect for cold months. I’m saying this because it’s snowing outside and warm is perfect for me at the moment.

The colors Erin has concentrated on are mostly light ones with white and ivory as prevailing. There are also greys, beiges and blacks in the collection.

Leggings have been hot for a few seasons already and Erin offers us to use the trend even longer. But she sees leggings combined with hotpants and, you know, it definitely looks interesting!

Jonathan Saunders loves showing his collections in London. He has launched his Spring-Summer 2010 range at London Fashion Week and feels very excited about exhibiting the Fall 2010-Winter 2011 in the British capital, too.

He said:
I’m going to show in London again in February; I just loved showing here in September. It’s much easier than New York because I’m still based in London, and I always will be.”
However, the Scottish designer will return to New York next autumn as the US offers lots of good chances.
He explained:
I will go back to show in New York next autumn. It’s just such a huge country – and nationwide stores like Saks and Barney’s give you such huge reach. It’s good for a business.”
