Black on White.

Fall , anyone ?

Well.
Once again, fashion week ended on a high note. A very, very, very high ones.
Fashion is so demanding that before i could even fully digest the menswear, womenswear are already over.
The truth is, this season was clouded by rumors. Fashion in another dark moment.

Jil Sander designer, Raf Simons resigned and was RUMORED to join Dior.
Raf Simons final collection for Jil Sander.



Whereas, Hedi Slimane is back to YSL to replace Stefano Pilati as womenswear head designer.
Sad to see Stefano leave.
Take a look into Stefano Pilati's last collection for YSL.



But fashion week do offers a bit of cheers.
McQ, diffusion line to Alexander McQueen, steps on the runway for the first time and was well received.
Another diffusion line to make a comeback was Pierre Balmain.

McQ

Pierre Balmain


These are some of my favorite picks for this fall season collection.

Balmain
What's not to love ? It was only Olivier Rousteing second womenswear for Balmain. Miracle.

Balenciaga
I personally prefer these impeccably made jackets. Not the printed top from this collection. 

Valentino
Now I believe Valentino are in safe hands under Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli.

Haider Ackermann
He is truly making a mark for himself. Every show is better than it's previous,I think ? A hot property in fashion.

Alexander McQueen
One of the sewer said there is actually 80 godets in one of those dresses and she lost count of those dandelions. Haute couture show at pret-a-porter week ?




Btw, Louis Vuitton had a great presentation. 
How can you improve from the memorable carousel presentation ? You can. You just need to build a train !

Prada shoes worth dying for ! Save up ladies.

These days, high fashion labels are collaborating with fast fashion retailers.
Marni x H&M
Mary Katrantzou x Topshop

Anyone up for a guessing on who's next?

p/s : look at Issey Miyake's runway show. There is something interesting called 'steam stretch'. Genius.
