Fall 2010 Pre-View

Let's talk pre-fall 2010...

On December 3rd 2009 Donatella Versace came out with her lovely pre-view for Fall of 2010. It is a glorious mix of color - hues of cobalt blue, oranges with apple green that wrap around a very feminine feel. Her designs are figure fitting and very leggy. Her gorgeous watery blues along her tightly fitting leggings suggest a very Asian feel that has dominated much of our forward thinking fashionistas. Versace's belted blazers are of note - so keep that in mind moving forward.

Another noteworthy designer is Alexander Wang with the lovely and never-going-out-of-style black on black. I appreciate the continued theme of lingerie, the transparent, and especially the suiting that is being seen for Fall 2010 as well as Spring 2010. The narrow trouser is highlighted as well as the layered look of skirts or shorts over leggings. Corsets played a nice part in Wang's collection to enhance several wonderful designs. Again, the suiting and ageless cocktail-wear is worth looking through online.

Tahari (December 2, 2009 show, NY NY) maintained the gorgeous collection maintaining to his usual crowd but also starting to go toward appealing to the younger generation with his excellent choices of color and amazing draping in his Fall 2010 pre-view collection. My first thought was of the lovely oranges, the watery blues and purples, and the amazing prints chosen in his fabric. Yet to look at the designs in nude and black gives one the choices throughout the collection to round out ones wardrobe. The dresses maintain a beautiful feminine flair and the trouser appealing to all that see it. The suiting is excellent - from the office to cocktail.
