London: September 18th-22nd, Spring Ready-To-Wear
-First let me say that all collections incorporated a little or a lot of black detailing or fabric in their collection, this means all you black or nothing fans can celebrate, it looks like your usually questioned black sweater will be celebrated this spring and summer, now lets get to it.
1. Fyodor Golan
This collection was a mix of earth tone metallic's, black and a surprising array of pastel colors including a periwinkle blue. Here are my three favorite looks.
Pick One: The blue piece to the left is one of my favorites as a jumpsuit style, the frills and steady incorporation of blue completely finishes the metallic blue shoes, giving us a chic show of electric shock. This metallic piece to the right is one of my favorites its a mix of different fabrics still incorporating a cool black undertone.
2. Antonio Beradi
My two favorite pieces included a whimsical dark black dress, decadent with detail and sexy with a seen onesie. The second piece is very business formal,but the sheer long sleeves allows it some youth, paired with the color leaf pattern he chose.
3. David Koma
This collection followed the previous trend of a onesie, but dared to be different by an unattached top. It easily gives us different decade trends with new chic styles, hipster's unite, you will not be wearing floral's this spring (or at least not without black attached)
Top Choices:
(From Top Left to Right)
The off the shoulder look entertains the 90's trend of grunge while still including floral's that allows u some spring leeway. The punk ballerina dress on the right is whimsical and still formal enough to be worn at a wedding (sorry mom). The bottom left has zippers in all the right places, thigh high's and electric dark blue......hello new color schemes. Last, but not least the right choice with the halter dress with the slit is 70's chic paired with new age nude pink, a color sure to be seen all throughout spring.
4. Edeline Lee
This collection put to question all typical designs set for Spring, the geometrical colors, paired with the white dress, and symmetrical cuts allowed us to embody our 50's housewife color scheme and futuristic style.
Top Choices:
These two choices were made based on the originality of the pieces. I love how the design's don't follow the usual regulations of dress or spring attire. For the left piece i love the color, lavender is a definite must for spring clothing and for the right I am open to the idea of minimalist style spring wear.
Full of spirited and loyal designers, Milan's runway was filled with the best of the best floral, stripes and new idea's for spring. We love the print, punk and girly feel that was given.
1. Giamba
I loved how this collection was different establishing white lace as an ensemble for the average punk rock aspiring fashionista, plus i'm just happy stripes are back in.
Top Choices:

The first print is just so interesting, I love the color aqua blue being paired with red as a necessity for the adventurous in spring. The second piece with lace and punk striped sparkle shorts allows us to understand the power of combination, each item balances each other out. The third choice jut incorporates some of my favorite color schemes for spring, pale and vibrant and of course, black. The last piece once again is a good balancing act, right down to the heart embellishment on the shirt.
2. Dolce & Gabbana
Easily already expected to be a beautiful collection, Dolce and Gabbana allows themselves to follow in the same trend of floral's for spring but with a twist, we love the 3D option.
Top Choices:
(From Top Left to Right)
The dress is beautiful and since the patches idea is in we love how the floral design becomes 3D crawling off the dress. The second piece is a beautiful to the late 60's montage of flower power paired with a nude and a turtle neck, it was made as a classic beauty. The third piece is a pant suit but what makes it spectacular is the use of polka dots allowing us to get the insight that polka dots are back to stay, (I totally could of made a pun). The last piece is a beautiful combination of lace, a onsie, and floral placed design going up the front. My favorite addition is the sheer socks with heels.
Paris: September 30th- October 7th, Spring Ready-To-Wear
Ah, and last, but not least the last stop is non-other than Paris. Home of the fashionable celebrity's and one in particular. Our favorite Caribbean princess showed up in Dior just in time for the amazing show.
1. Christian Dior
Now known as the flower mountain designer, Dior's collection was sweet, delectable styles and a tinge of sultry, just how we like it.
(From Right To Left)
Dior's collection was very Cher worthy. The first piece with the blazer is a classic look, paired with the famous scalloped pants. The second piece is a floral coat with spring practically running off the jacket. The third piece incorporates our lost friend winter with a sweater but the see thru skirt reminds us we can still have the best of both worlds before summer. The last piece incorporates the Fall color (forest green) velvet with scalloped shorts, i loved the tie-style with the bow tied shoes.
2. Veronique Leroy
This collection was unique, I loved the stripes combination with spring challenging colors, and of course the shoes.
Top Choices:
(From Top Left to Right)
The first piece has stripe incorporated with cobalt blue I love the contrast. The second piece still uses stripes but adds gray and an overall ensemble giving off a laid back sophisticated work attire and lazy Sunday. The next piece falls into the new popular twist on a onesie and stripes, and the fourth uses salmon pink to address the key factor that pale's are still acceptable in your spring ensemble.
So all in all these are my favorite pieces, What did we learn today?
