London Shows Sexy and Colorful Styles for Spring

Designers opted for the sexy and colorful for next spring’s womenswear at London Fashion Week, but stuck to a timeless style to appeal to budget-conscious buyers picky about adding to their wardrobe.

Short dresses and high heels featured prominently on the catwalk at many spring/summer 2011 shows, with Julien Macdonald injecting doses of glamour by looking to the boudoir.

His models wore pastel-colored and flower-printed short frilly dresses, at times transparent, as well as long gowns with trains in lace and silk in bursts of color,and last match with LV Damier Azur Canvas Handbags. A puff of perfume minutes before the show added to the bedroom feel.

“I decided to take these English girls to Hollywood and I made them very ultra glamorous and ultra sexy,” he said.

Hong Kong-born John Rocha took last season’s trend of underwear as outerwear one step further, playing with corsets and bras, sometimes put in as panels in jackets.

His collection was full of long fluid dresses, accessorized with backpacks and leather lace-up wedge boots.

“I just feel that at this moment in time, for me it’s all about texture. I try to make women look as beautiful as possible,” Rocha told Reuters.

“There’s enough sadness in the world, there’s enough drama.”

Burberry Prorsum mixed biker jackets with trenchcoats at mid and mini length, then combined the biker and trenchcoat looks in gabardine, bonded twill and other fabrics with all kinds of leather from heavy black to shiny patent in bright colors.
There was also a hint of the 1970s, with flared trousers, bold prints and fringed skirts and dresses at several shows.

For her Red Label line, Vivienne Westwood had a selection of trouser and short suits as well as loosely cut and shirt dresses that were worn with mismatched lace-up shoes.

Westwood, who rose to prominence 30 years ago during Britain’s punk era and shows her main line in Paris, also had net capes, hot pants and exaggerated cleavages on some designs.

“I’ve had a good run for sure. I can only say it’s because I do something that is not a market thing,” she told reporters when asked about her success. “I just do what I really like, and I make something that you can’t get anywhere else.”

Matthew Williamson presented a tropically colored collection, heavy in beading and embroidery. He had plenty of billowing gowns as well as short bustier dresses and collarless jackets worn with Hermes birkin Ostrich veines bags.

Skirts in muted metallics were fringed and worn with tribal-style platform sandals.

Savannah and Sienna Miller, the sisters behind the Twenty8Twelve brand, preferred a relaxed retro look, putting models in simple dresses puffed out with colorful petticoats, denim tops and shorts. Shoes were mainly flat sandals with big sparkly bows.

Paul Smith, one of Britain’s best-established designers, presented fitted and oversized shirts matched with cropped or oversized trousers — as if women had borrowed items from their boyfriends’ wardrobes.

Even though it has produced some of fashion’s biggest names London has struggled to maintain its international profile on a par with Paris, Milan and New York. However, it can boast an impressive front row of celebrities who this season included names such as Jude Law, Pamela Anderson and Sarah Jessica Parker.

“It’s never conventional,” Joan Burstein, founder of London’s renowned fashion store Brown’s, said. “I think that’s what we have in our favor from London Fashion Week.”

Diane Kruger’s first trip to Aisa

Diane Kruger was the essence of Chanel chic in an haute couture black organza and lace ballerina-length gown with jewel-encrusted bodice at New York Fashion Week where she presented her long-term friend, Karl Lagerfeld, with his FIT Fashion Visionary award.

But she’s preparing to swap her Hermes birkin Ostrich veines bags for yurts.

In a few weeks she’ll be roughing-it on location in the wilds of Tajikistan, the landlocked Central Asian republic, which is bordered by Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and China.

Diane is filming a new action thriller where she plays a young journalist captured by the Taliban. She’s already shot scenes in the in the capital of Dushanbe and has fallen in love with the remote and exotic land that has been continuously inhabited for 4,000 years.

She is returning in a few weeks, and this time filming resumes in Tajikistan’s forbidding mountain regions, containing some of the highest peaks in the world.

“There’s absolutely nothing, it’s miles from anywhere and anybody,” she told me. “We’re going to be living in camps (yurts) and they’re having to helicopter everything in, including hundreds of mattresses. It’s going to be very different, but exciting. I’m really looking forward to it.”

German-born Kruger, best known for her roles in ‘Troy’, ‘National Treasure’ and, more recently, ‘Inglorious Basterds’, began her career as a model, at the age of 16, after an injury put at end to her wish to become a ballerina, and she had successfully auditioned for the Royal Ballet School in London..

“I feel I’ve known Karl all my life,” she said of the couturier who is regarded as the ‘kaiser’ of fashion, and who has wielded the golden scissors at Chanel since 1983.

“I did catwalk for Karl and Chanel and my first big editorial job was with Karl and Chanel. We did the shoot in his house in Paris; me, just 16, and all these supermodels, all of us in the most beautiful, full-length ballgowns.

2010 Handbags Show of Designer Jason Wu

JJason Wu shows extended range – including shoes and handbags.

Designer Jason Wu will forever be linked — and surely thankful — to Michelle Obama for the white, one-shoulder gown he designed for the balls following President Barack Obama’s inauguration. But fast-forward almost two years, and Wu is a fashion force in his own right, with a stylish spring collection, new lines of designer Hermes Birkin Bags,a beauty collaboration (CND nail polish) and his own logo: an owl.

A full group of top retailers, editors and stylists attended his New York Fashion Week runway show in a walk-up space in SoHo with a fancy curved blue runway that mimicked a stream that had “bridges” over it so guests could reach the other side.

The models walking that catwalk were dressed mostly in elegant sheaths, feminine blouses and pleated trousers. Wu did get to show his lighter side, too: He mixed ’80s-style bold stripes on knit pullovers with a floral chiffon draped skirt, and a floral oxford Marc Jacobs Leather Wallets unexpectedly complemented a petal-covered, grey-and-black skirt.

One lime-coloured dress with a petal bustier might have gone too far on the whimsical side. Put it this way, one can’t imagine Obama in it.

In his notes, Wu said he used the works of Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes and French fashion illustrator Rene Gruau as starting points. Their brights palette reminded him of a 1940s silhouette, which, he said in his notes, “relected in the elongated trousers, lean jacket shape and overall sexy and confident feel of the collection.”

He also explained his choice of the owl, which he dubbed Miss Wu. It’s one of his favourite animals, both familiar and playful, he said. “Wu … Wuuu.”
