Derek Lam SPR 2011 For the modern woman in us all.

Derek hit the nail on the head with this spring collection. His play with denim at the beggining was beautifully executed. The collection has a hint of retro but is exactly in touch with what is hot for Spring 2011. The cocktail dresses are cut to perfection with interesting lines. Very simple but very fresh.

Here are some of the dresses from their latest collection that we would love to see on the red carpet. Especially loving the full length tulle dress.. this collection feels like it's from another time, think Princess Marguerite.

Berardi goes light and girly for Spring!

  We are used to seeing super short and super tight with Antonio Berardi. For his Spring 2011 Ready to Wear collection Berardi really changes things up. There is an air of sophistication, elegance and luxury to this one yet totally keeping with the clean modern edge. He introduced parachute like pants, with tuxedo tops and then went  to shiny silver trench's that were to die for, then off to ballet/military  combo which oozed prettiness.

This collection was sort of all over the map, in a good way!

 

Loving both of these trench coats, one for day and one to glam up the night.

 This jacket is to die for! Excellent cut and form.

 Finally, Phillip Lim's Calder shoe wold be a perfect match to Brardi's black and white suit.

Christopher Kane Spring RTW '11 a burst of freshness.

       Spring is around the corner and we are definitely feeling it in the air. The weather the last few days has been so warm and spring like, it's been encouraging to us. Looking at Christopher Kane's Spring Ready to wear collection for 2011 we can really feel the freshness especially with his choice of colours. Using perforated leather with a vinyl coating  gives  a more shine, more of a clean allure and mixing that with lace and patterns that look peacock like, he takes the tea time look to a futuristic time. This collection goes perfect with springs new love for orange cosmetics.

Samuel Dong, ruffles galore!

This outfit with the aqua gloves and the space like leggings feels futuristic and sci-fi.

 

    Samuel Dong is a New York designer who showed for the first time @ MTL Fashion Week 2011. Traditionally, Dong makes things for a more mature clientele. With this "Fantasy" collection, we find Dong tries to reach out to a younger crowd, mixing and matching prints and textures. This collection was more theatrical, more edgy and stronger then anything we've seen from him in the past. This could be considered a major improvement for Dong.
