Prada Fall 2009 Runway Show
Prada Fall 2009 Collection Milan, Italy (March 1, 2009) Presented ...
Prada Fall 2009 Collection Milan, Italy (March 1, 2009) Presented in Standard Definition. For Fall 2009 Miuccia Prada created the most glamourous wrap coats and suits imaginable. Without a doubt, Prada had the absolute best coats of the season with a stunning selection of voluminous wrap coats that evoke a sense of luxury from intense dark wools to striking red leather and riding coats in red wool and flocked burgundy velvet. Seriously desirable suits were modern and exquisitely tailored to stunning effect. Woolen skirt suits with split open seams and deep V necklines, slashed up to there-revealing flashes of bright red silk underneath in a palette of olive, black, tobacco browns and burnt red tweeds. All worn with red or green leather wellies or the latest must have boot - a hip-high, strapped-on fisherman’s wader in green or brown leather. It was the perfect city to country wardrobe for the urban sophisticate - or the real McCoy with dramatic high style that was at once perverse and utilitarian at the same time. For evening a jewel studded slim brown leather dress with carwash strips for a skirt was followed by an equally stunning red fur shift with a deep plunging V neckline that radiated glamour, accessorized no less by a fur evening clutch. And lest we forget the shoes, curvaceous sculpted numbers with modern day armor figured prominently in this gorgeous fashion fantasy sending gasps of delight among the audience. Mary Jane platforms in black or flesh pink were heavily studded and fringed, perfect for a modern day gladiator. What’s not to love about Prada this season? Miuccia Prada stellar collection delivers in all the right places. Produced by Gianna Madrini, Style Editor - Global Fashion News http://www.globalfashionnews.com Copyright 2009 All rights reserved.

Balmain Fall 2009 Runway Show
Balmain Fall 2009 Collection Paris: France ( March 8, 2009) ...
Balmain Fall 2009 Collection Paris: France ( March 8, 2009) Presented by Global Fashion News. If you needed any proof that power shoulders are back in fashion, look no further than Christophe Decarnin’s Fall 2009 Balmain collection. His embrace of rock star bling and signature peak-shouldered jackets, and $1,000 price tag jeans have quickly shot him to the No. 1 position as most copied designer on the planet. Illustrating the most sculpted shoulders anywhere, Decarnin incorporated them into structured peaked-shoulder jackets, sailor-striped long sleeved T’s with pagoda shoulders and skin tight micro mini’s served up in a monochromatic palette of black, white, silver and gray with a shot of techno blue. The first look, a poured liquid sequined blouse and polka dot harem pants held by a low silver-studded belt, highlighted the 80s revival sweeping across both sides of the Atlantic. The cult peaked-shoulder Balmain jacket was reworked as a leather biker and paired with skinny jean-cut trousers and a sparkling striped T. Storming down the runway next, another peaked-shoulder jacket over a white wrapped silk blouse and poured sequin harem pants. Decarnin continued in his signature style sending out a black tuxedo cut jacket with a draped white T-shirt and black Swarovski studded jeans, and second-skin Swarovski encrusted dresses so snug and short they could barely pass for dresses, some trailing black ruffled silk trains and silk harem pants occasionally slashed down the front to reveal some leg. Almost every look in the collection was worn with short spats-style suede boots with buckles stacked five deep. If his dresses weren’t dripping with an abundance of crystals, sequins and studs they dazzled in zippered stretched leather. He had the shortest, tightest dresses seen anywhere. Models were tightly bound in black sequin strapless dresses with shirred silk bodices or quilted, chain-wrapped black leather. The popping cleavage a consequence of dresses cut so tight, they resembled a coat of paint. A daring electric blue one-shouldered dress featured ruffles across the collar. Futuristic minis with pagoda shoulders came in shimmering crystals, black and white lattice patterns, techno blue stripes or quilted black leather trimmed with chains. Decarnin deserves accolades for putting Balmain back on the fashion map and transforming the house of Balmain into a must-have label in the space of a few short years. Founded by Pierre Balmain in 1945, the brand dressed royalty and movie stars for decades and is set to rise again largely on the strength of Christophe Decarnin’s sexy excess and daring party girl looks that are as glamourous as they are edgy.

Marc Jacobs Fall 2009 Runway Show
Marc Jacobs Fall 2009 Collection New York, New York (February ...
Marc Jacobs Fall 2009 Collection New York, New York (February 17, 2009) Presented by Global Fashion News. With a wink and a nod to the excess of the high flying and hard partying Eighties, Marc Jacobs unveiled his Fall 2009 collection sending sixty distinctive party girl looks parading down the catwalk. Leave it to Marc Jacobs to change the mood and divert our attention from the gloomy economic downturn of 2009 with his latest electrifying, neon-hued antidote to the economy. "I was thinking about the good old days in New York," he said after the show, "when getting dressed up was such a joy." Mining his youth and early adulthood, Jacobs showed every major trend of the Eighties and then some, delivering an over-the-top ode to former friend and fellow designer Stephen Sprouse’ New York Eighties era. The exuberant “New Wave” collection did what fashion is supposed to do; put buyers and the audience in a buying mood. The show kicked off with a blaring punk rock soundtrack by Spinerette. First out was a gray zip cardigan sweater and charcoal trousers with a surprising back view revealing a half kilt. Then the wild party girls took over. They wore sweater dresses with floral patterned hosiery and sported big coiffed hairdo’s, fantastically sculpted velvet bustiers over high-waisted trousers and ultra short mini's and skirts in a thrilling parade of blinding color. The show featured an impressive array of colorful short coats, including a neon hot pink hooded cashmere coat, melton wool capes and astrakhan ponchos. Bright fluorescent wrap coats and jackets in green, electric blue, red and acid yellow were worn over sweatshirt tunics, high waisted trousers and sheer body stockings, often in jarring combinations of hot pink and green or Schiaparelli red and fuschia. A short boxy cashmere and silk polka dot Balmacaan coat with raglan sleeves perfectly balanced the look of a Punk Princess in a black patent-striped mohair mini. Jacobs worked his Midas touch creating decadent party dresses that shone like jewels in the night in shimmering gold lame`, panne velvet and silk, many with short flaring pannier skirts (expanding the width.) A stunning yellow velvet dress with tubular pleating fanned out from the waist and featured a deep V-back. Precious duchesse satin ruched front evening dresses in eggplant and bottle green were cinched at the waist by an exposed vertical zipper, forming soft pleats and gathers from neckline to hem. By all measures it was a scaled-back show. The guest list was slashed dramatically this season, and there were no live sets by bands like Sonic Youth. For a change, Jacob’s let the girls do all the work. “This time, the hair and makeup are the key accessories,” Jacobs said. The models looked more like Eighties New York dolls with helmet hair sculpted high into swooping flips, mohawks and bouffants. Every girl had a unique hair style and dramatically different make-up. The hair reminded me of "A Flock of Seagulls and the big shouldered jackets of Max Headroom or Klaus Nomi’s costumes. The cumulative effect of all that color, shine and glamour? Optimism! Jacobs’ clothes seemed to scream "Let’s get this party started!” Gianna Madrini, Style Editor - Global Fashion News http://www.globalfashionnews.com

Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 Runway Show
Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 Collection; Paris, France (March 12, 2009) ...
Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 Collection; Paris, France (March 12, 2009) Presented by Global Fashion News. Très chic, tres chic! Très jolie! A gutsy expression of optimism and frivolity was in full force at Marc Jacobs’ Fall 2009 show for Louis Vuitton at the end of a season rife with economic concerns. Regarding his approach to the collection, Jacobs replied “Yes, there’s a crisis, but one can still carry on and contribute to beauty and optimism and gorgeousness.” And gorgeous it was. Bows, ruffles, ruching, pleating and tucking abound in a delectable array of bon-bon colors including French blue, pink, green, purple and yellow resulting in a collection that exuded French coquette-ishness. Fitted jackets and pencil skirt combinations were poufed, peplumed and ruched to girly perfection in fabrications ranging from taffeta to leather to peekaboo lace in various shades of blue, green and purple. The freshest take on the feminine suit was a naughty yet charming number in sheer blush-colored chiffon and lace with black piping that had leg-of-mutton sleeves and a tight smocked pencil skirt that was bunched prettily at the bottom in a rosette-like fashion. Flirty, playful combinations included sheer sweaters worn over visible colored bras that were paired with frothy tiered skirts or mini bubble skirts in beige, green, yellow or nude. A striking magenta dress in taffeta with puffed baby sleeves, smocked bodice and bubble skirt was worked with tall black lace-up boots. An equally dramatic femme fatale evening ensemble featured black taffeta trousers with an outrageous fishtail fan that flared out at the knee, topped with a shirred black metallic bustier trimmed with a fan of chiffon across the top. Highlighting the coquette-ish feel of the show were the accessories, which included tall lace up boots, thigh-high boots with a French heel and chunky fluorescent necklaces that appeared to be resin versions of ribbon candy. Several incarnations of the winter coat varied in range from an elegant black wrap coat tied at the waist with a bow to a bright green coat covered in tiny ruffles and cinched at the waist. A pair of broad-shouldered elegant red coats with oversized lapels in slightly more masculine silhouettes anchored the delightfully frothy collection.

Versace Fall 2009 Runway show
Versace Fall 2009 Collection; Milan Italy ( March 2, 2009) ...
Versace Fall 2009 Collection; Milan Italy ( March 2, 2009) Presented by Global Fashion News in High Definition. Blazing her own beautiful trail in a season that looked back to past eras, especially the 80s a major trend for fall. Donatella Versace featured a modern collection that focused on what she does best: sexy Italian fashion. The Versace Fall 2009 collection was both incredibly sexy and stunning featuring sleek minimal daywear of uber-skinny cargo pants paired with fitted biker style jackets, boldly colored shifts and dazzling evening gowns. Deep jewel-tone colors ranged from sultry midnight hues to the palest of neutrals with shots of turquoise, sky blue, fuchsia, red and bright orange exploding onto the runway against a giant electronic background. A demure, but still seductive shift dress in ultramarine blue silk with a wide silver belt woven in and out of the back was perfect for day into evening. A stunning array of silk and chiffon gowns strutted down the catwalk revealing the unmistakable mastery that Donatella and the house of Versace has become known for. A mesmerizing goddess-like gown floated down the runway with a single sleeve of billowing turquoise silk and chiffon while the rest of the dress floated airily around the body, cutting away to a sky-high slit to show some considerable leg. To top it all off, the gown was accented by rows of giant metallic sequins across the bodice. Other versions in red, cyan, teal and wheat effortlessly wrapped and swathed the body utilizing pins, staples and studs to create sculptural cutouts. The newest “it” dress to add to Donatella’s fabulous repertoire was a micro mini covered in either nude or turquoise plastic paillettes that screamed “Sex, Sex, Baby”. And let’s not forget those beautiful wrap dress coats. Whether it be an above the knee bright fuchsia wool coat with a silver belt cinched at the waist and red heels or a positively sinful blue and black dyed shaved mink coat accented with leather and stud details.

Miu Miu Fall 2009 Runway Show
Miu Miu Fall 2009 Collection; Milan, Italy (March 12, 2009) ...
Miu Miu Fall 2009 Collection; Milan, Italy (March 12, 2009) Presented by Global Fashion News. From the intimate salon setting with models walking within arms length of the audience and a seductive soundtrack featuring bits and pieces of dialogue from, “Madame Claude” and “Histoire d’ O,” seduction was the theme. Miuccia Prada’s Fall 2009 Miu Miu collection permeated the room with an overt feminine sexuality that was boldly suggestive, yet supremely elegant. Chic coat dresses were transformed into short, sultry often sleeveless or revealing backless dresses that revealed shimmering bare skin. Miuccia’s ‘new suit’ as she called it, was newly reduced and paired down to a blended fox fur and wool stole, now replacing the jacket over a matching A-line skirt. Elegant fur pieces adorned almost every look including handbags and shoes adding to the decadent air of sensuality. A red tweed sleeveless coat dress with matching fur stole vamped up the mainly neutral color palette of nudes, tans, golds, peach and grey. Slender dresses and long pencil skirts in transparent oriental red or tiger patterned silks, some with plunging necklines suggested a more demure, yet deliberate sex appeal compared to the provocative coats that came before them. Exposed triangle bras were visible through sheer organza blouses further highlighting the importance that what goes underneath is equally as important as the clothes and coats themselves.

William Rast Fall 2009 Runway Show
William Rast Fall 2009 Collection; New York, USA ( September ...
William Rast Fall 2009 Collection; New York, USA ( September 11. 2008) Presented by Global Fashion News in High Definition. For Fall 2009, Justin Timberlake’s and Trace Ayala’s label William Rast mixed classic Americana with an infusion of Southern rocker-chic that explores the roots and history of American denim. Designers Johan and Marcella Lindeberg took inspiration from American films such as Thelma & Louise and Francis Ford Copolla’s Rumble Fish, creating a mashup of denim looks appropriate for a road trip down Route 66, with lots of rock-n-roll leather, hints of plaid and tough metal accents. In menswear, layered looks dominated; combinations of distressed, black and acid washed jeans were paired with variations of the jean jacket over loose plaid button downs, all shown with a black long t-shirt that grazed the hips. A key look featured straight-leg distressed blue jeans with a long, black tee underneath a patched leather motorcycle jacket, gold zippers gleaming. Each men’s look was accented with black leather gloves and black cowboy boots with long leather fringe. In a nice departure from the ubiquitous roughed-up ensembles, sharply tailored suit jackets were dispersed throughout the collection, adding polish and style. The women’s collection exuded the independent spirit of Thelma & Louise, with Western style shirts emphasizing the shoulders and narrowing down to either a miniskirt or skinny jeans in a variation of washes, some adorned with grommets and zippers lending a tough, no-nonsense edge. A slim fitting black leather motorcycle jacket adorned with silver studs on the shoulders and lapels was featured with a sheer black blouse tucked into patchwork skinny jeans. Each look complete with a William Rast Fall 2009 staple accessory, the long fringed cowboy boot. Monica Sharma, Associate Editor, Global Fashion News http://www.globalfashionnews.com

Lacroix Fall 2009 Runway Show
Christian Lacroix Fall 2009 Collection; Paris, France (March 8, 2009) ...
Christian Lacroix Fall 2009 Collection; Paris, France (March 8, 2009) Presented by Global Fashion News In a unique departure from his rich baroque designs, Christian Lacroix presented an elegantly restrained collection paired downed to the most exquisite essentials. Inspired by Henry VIII and “the eternal feminine allure of the Parisienne--elegant, chic and smartly dressed, he balanced structured silhouettes with romantic shapes in rich textured fabrics and black lace. Focusing on tailoring and draping rather than excessive add-ons, the designer reigned in his embellishments resulting in a more controlled modern glamour. An ultra-chic, curvy double breasted black wool coat featuring an oversize lapel and giant buttons over lace tights opened the show, followed by an short coat in tweed of similar proportions. Another more elaborate peacoat was constructed of an ornate boucle wool and tweed melange in a patchwork of peacock colors, navy, green and black topped off with a pale pink fur collar, giving the look a luxurious playful edge. A beautifully draped gold silk blouse swathed one arm while leaving the other bare was shown with black harem pants. Then came an exquisitely cut trouser suit with a nipped waist in metallic gray with a jacket that flared over the hips where it met matching flared cuffed trousers. For evening there were more romantic pieces, Lacroix focused on the neckline and shorter lengths built on a foundation of delicate black lace. A long-sleeved lace bodiced dress with an opaque black strip across the bust and an exaggerated black feather collar at the neck was finished with a mottled gray taffeta skirt. Another high-necked evening dress featured a dance skirt of cascading chiffon. Sculptural gold brocade cocktail dresses were fitted over black lace turtlenecks and lace patterned tights. One of the last remaining French couturiers, Lacroix’s Fall 2009 collection had a fresh, new modern approach and a refined elegance, which proves that he is just as comfortable with tailoring as he is with couture like extravagance. This was Lacroix in control at his finest. Gianna Madrini, Style Editor, Global Fashion News http://www.globalfashionnews.com

Lanvin Fall 2009 Runway Show
Lanvin Fall 2009 Collections: Paris, France ( March 9, 2009) ...
Lanvin Fall 2009 Collections: Paris, France ( March 9, 2009) Presented by Global Fashion News Alber Elbaz set the bar for Fall 2009 presenting a sensuous collection that focused on desirable feminine clothes, further cementing his cult status among women who adore fashion. Presented in the gigantic Musee de Homme the crowd audibly gasped as the curtain opened to reveal a much larger space with a giant monolithic doorway covered entirely with red roses and a glistening asphalt runway a mile long. Elbaz’s voluptuous clothes took center stage with stunningly elegant coats, dresses and evening wear reminiscent of the powerful feminine clothes of the 1940s, yet modern and contemporary displaying luxurious options. Jackets gathered into soft peplums and draping on the woolen skirt suits were expertly executed in imaginative ways, as in an asymmetrical cascade of ruffles that fell down the side of a dress. Belted wool coats and dresses were cut and draped to create volume and beautiful shapes with waves of fabric at the bust, hip and shoulders. Elbaz embellished fabrics streaking them with flashy metallic beading at the seams and decadent touches of fur and knit stoles, adding panels of fur to the front of a jacket but not to the back. “It’s a way of making the garment less costly and I think it looks more modern,” Elbaz stated. Injected into the somber palette of dark wool and cashmere fabrics were sumptuous velvet dresses in gold or black devore. A champagne silk floor length gown with long sleeves showed little skin, yet Elbaz’s superb bias cut allowed the dress to flow gracefully down the body. Each model was adorned with a feather headpiece and elbow length black leather gloves further melding the time periods in this outstanding collection. There was black and lots of it, as Elbaz presented a series of black dresses with linear metallic embroidery and tubular beads. A short dress with beaded chiffon straps and fallen banded sleeves flashed with tough chic metal beading, complemented by a larger-than-life gold, crystal and white tubular necklace. Standout looks among the strong display of exquisite suits and dresses included a strapless nude-colored dress swathed in tulle. By the end of the show, it was clear that Lanvin has what it takes to transcend the recession with clothes that women want to wear. Lanvin Fall 2009 is truly one of my favorite collections and is one of our top 10 shows of the season. Gianna Madrini, Style Editor - Global Fashion News http://www.globalfashionnews.com
