wreaths and roars galore

I've already had enough Givenchy lust this season and now I fear I have even more, why do you keep doing this to me, Tisci!? After seeing his RTW collection I am pretty sure that he has become one of my favourite designers. This season's collection is all about the sexiest jungle cat, the panther, and is an ode to all things slinky and black. Adding a dash of floral motifs, the fashion house makes an extremely wearable and feminine collection. The blacks are off-set with bright greens, yellows and blues and the canary outfit near the end of the show really is something to tweet about.

all I can say about Marchesa's fall collection is...wow. Wow, wow, wow. Definately one of my favourites, the collection is packed with intricately beautiful victorian inspired gowns. They make any girl wish she had a lavish party to attend in a gothic mansion. Mixing these gowns with beautiful veils and riding jackets, Marchesa successfuly combines opulence with structure. Not to mention, many of the outfits have a bird-like quality to them, which I am always a fan of. I will be lusting over these dresses for years to come.

young folk

Anna Sui never fails to stimulate the senses. This season, her show was packed with folk prints, psychedelic patterns and an even mix of bright colours and a monochromatic palette. as a vintage enthusiast, i love how many decades she references in this collection. The intricate beading, low waists and surrealist motifs of the 1920's. The boyish, mini skirt of the 1960's. And of course, the colours and mixed fabrics of the 1970's. and you know that I'm a huge fan of the cat hats...purrfect!

quilty until proven innocent

the Mulleavy sisters have done it again! I am always in love with their beautiful garments and feminine details. This season is a focus on prairie dresses, high and low collars, quilted fabrics and a beautiful soft colour palette with pops of blues and reds. with outfits like these, the country life is looking mighty fine.

so in love with this leiderhosen interpretation

i like to call it the "whitney" collar :)

yoshimi battles the pink robots

"her name is yoshimi, she's a black belt in karate. working for the city, she has to discipline her body."
I can't stop humming that tune after seeing Givenchy's Spring Couture collection. The dresses are gorgeous and perfect disguise for fighting evil robots. Warrior princesses get coutured!
