The Mel Rose Manifest

This guy is so talented it's awesome. He said this collection was inspired by "church ladies in the jungle". I love that. I also think he is becoming one of my favorites. I just love how inspired he is and how he executes his inspiration into a wearable design. It's a hard translation and only a few can get away with being so different every season with one thing in common with them at all. The fact that this man is a dreamer and he is clearly living a dream. He's forward but he's not so far off that I don't want to wear it. The lion at the end is so cool. I love that idea.

Issa - Fall 10

Issa

I may not need my issa, but this Issa, I could use. LOVE the show opener pose and the 50's styling. I also had a serious fashion crush on a few pieces from her super 70's spring 10 collection. She is clearly inspired by the different decades of fashion that she loves, but the clothes are still relevant to our style globally today. She takes a lot of critique but it's because she's designing for a very demanding woman and also she goes off on tangents that sometime leave you craving more of the really strong pieces just developed differently and less of the tangent I don't personally get. I think she occasionally overdevelops her finishing touches and under delivers on the actually designing, BUT this season, I'm seeing a huge evolution from last fall and I think she's only going up and over from here so rock on ISSA! I love it and while I took it out of my name, it is not going off of my blog or my wardrobe anytime soon. I want the full arm leather gloves ASAP!

Burberry Prorsum - Fall 10

Burberry Prorsum

I want one of these jackets so bad it kind of hurts. I am OBSESSED with how he has mastered the aviator jacket design this season, offering it a versatilely-wise as how widely ranged trenches are offered to us. He went masculine, feminine, inside out, long, short, multi-textured, oh it just goes on and on and in multiple colors. I love the color palette...I just wish that the Burberry lavender from last season made the cut again because it is soooo pretty and if I ever get married, it will be in that color. Mmmm. Okay so back to fall 10, this collection rocks. The best detail for me is the double collars on these jackets. Very smart. Over and out.
