February 28, 2010 in Autumn/Winter, Bohemian Chic, Designers, Fashion, Fashion Week, London, Matthew Williamson, Seasons, Spring/Summer

Let’s shift our focus to London Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2010 which kick’d off last Friday on the 19th after New York. I hav fallen for our British fashion darlin’ Matthew Williamson, known as “the king of boho” for his brilliant color palette and use of prints to hav brought the modern bohemian style, which encapsulates the simple, flowy style of hippies and gypsies to his collections since 2001 Spring/Summer when he launch’d his collection titl’d “Wonderland” in which a paillette-encrusted skirt rich in rainbow sequins simply fascinated mi. Ibiza inspir’d hippy bohemian clothes are Williamson’s specialty. Over the past seasons he’s been doin’ Ibiza-chic floodin’ his designs with bright colors and embellishments, exotic prints, bohemian beadin’ and flowin’ caftans. His 1970s Ibiza hippy bohemian collection for 2005 Spring/Summer’s a case in point in which a stunnin’ silver floor-length skirt did highlight the theme.

Mine Favorite Designer 1: Anna Sui at New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2010 – Aestheticism in Typical Sui Fashion

February 24, 2010 in Anna Sui, Autumn/Winter, Bohemian Chic, Designers, Fashion, Fashion Week, New York, Seasons

Anna Sui’s always been one of mine top favorite designers over all these years. Tho I miss’d her show last Thursday dat’s the 7th day of New York Fashion Wk cuz ‘m currently in EU, mine passion for Sui’s design’s urged mi to write ’bout the collection. Only by seein’ the pics can remind mi of a typical Anna Sui collection dat couldn’t hav possibly come frm anyone else. I saw many similarities between tis F/W 2010 and other seasons such as F/W 08 and 09 collections. Art nouveau esque aestheticism’s exercis’d an enormous influence in shapin’ a typical Sui look, which’s full of art deco motifs with tons of patterns and handmade touches and American Indian ethnic feel. We luv seein’ ow Anna Sui keeps her stylistic integrity and never stops marchin’ to the beat of her own drum, but always remains relevant and gorgeous. In tis post yerr gonna see lots of prints and decoration as well as a summary of sum distinctive designs mostly found in her collections. After all, like wat makeup master Pat Mcgrath said, “Anna’s talk’n ’bout arts, crafts and colors, and lots of decoration.”

Feature 1: Lots of prints and colors to accent the look with the handcraft’d chunky necklaces and fur trimm’d boots addin’ a touch of American Indian/Bohemian ethnic style as a whole
