American fashion designer Marc Jacobs is also the current Creative Director of the prestigious French design house Louis Vuitton. He is also the head designer for the diffusion line Marc by Marc Jacobs. Let’s take a peek at some of his bags from his bag collection for Fall/Winter of 2009 – 2010.
Flashy, trendy, edgy, fashion-forward and definitely not just your ordinary handbag. With these collection, we can truly say that he indeed earned his place in the fashion world, not just as the creative director of Louis Vuitton but as well as a true mover in fashion and arts. Makes me look forward to his next collection.
I just *heart* this new stint pulled by the Danish Fashion Institue last Dec.9. It was a showcase of fabrics made from, well, you guessed it – recycled materials. Now this wasn’t your usual eco-friendly apparel made from earth-toned and rich-textured organic materials. This is innovative recycling that can have the same smoothness of silk and glossy sheen of PVC. Even the names used to call the products were done by a real style-genius. Crabion, Ingeo, Ditto and Milkfiber, samples of new fashion-lingo, were the keywords heard in that event. Ingenuous materials like crab byproducts, corn scraps and even powder left over from boiled milk were used to show how traditional textiles can be replaced with innovative new ones. Talk about protecting Mother Nature, these guys really delivered!
Hats off to the show’s 20 designers from five Nordic countries and representative of retailing giants as H&M and Barneys. Each presented two looks made from organic cottons, silks, polyesters and recycled agricultural materials. Asymmetrical cocktail dresses, oversized joker-collared windbrakers and dresses in strappy bodice were just samples of styles the models strut on the runway.
I hope to see more of these soon in malls, too. Who knows what else they could come up with next time. With the buzz that multinational organizations have been creating on being eco-friendly, I’m pretty sure there’d be more of these.

It was a bit of shock that talented fashion designers are mostly coming from the north like Greta Constatine.
The fashion designer became the darling of Toronto Fashion Scene as his collection took over an Audi dealership to show loyalists and media in supporting her 2010 Spring collection. Greta became known for their impressive work with Jersey may be inspiration run too free that some critics pledged the collection as a bit scattered.
The collection comes from fresh and innovative ideas that everyone love. It is definitely a rising reputation and making of a fashion designer start for the young designer. Aside from Greta, there is also Travis Taddeo, Lucian Matis, and Pink Taratan.
For a lot of people, orange is a hard color to pull off. Surprisingly though, orange is a very flattering color since it instantly adds a natural glow to your skin tone. This spring, designers lit up the runways with a range of vibrant tangerines, neon oranges and amped-up corals that looked yummy and wearable all at once. But if you’re not used to wearing orange, it can seem a little tricky. So here’s how to make sure you’re wearing the right hues at the right time.
If you decide to wear orange near your face, such as a top, a hat or accessories, pick vibrant shades of mango for olive-to-dark skin tone. If you’re a little paler, opt for more muted orange shades such as a sunset color. When trying on garments at the store, just hold up the item near your face; if it makes your eyes pop and brightens up your face, you’ve got a winner. But if it makes you look pale or drab, put it back!
New is the New York Fashion Week was Isaac Mizrahi’s 2010 collection with a Fred Astaire themed frolic through the rain.
The show started with swishy skirted easy silk dresses, and belted peak lapel jackets. The collection shifted from Vlada dress to high wasted shorts.
The last part of the show presented glorious evening gowns like the diamond double breasted loose fitting dress. I personally love the pink sparkle sheath fitted and the black strapless sparkling jumpsuit fit for Liza Minelli. His evening gowns where like movie star gowns with hourglassed ruffled poufed.
The dresses and gowns were accessorized with Maximal earrings of variety of dangly spangly and buttons.
Fresh from the runway, here is a sneak peek of what the Louis Vuitton Spring 2010 collection has to offer. Apparently inspired by the designers obsession with the youth, it has one of the most unusual collection of recent history. And not everything is well received like the huge, furry attachment to the bag, the mustachioed shoes and all sorts of tassels, twigs, and what not. The rest of the collection looks decent enough with colorful mix-and-matches of various materials that the young is expected to fall in love with. The color choices is also something to take note of: fresh, bright and light, I guess the designers really had the youth in mind.
I have never seen a fashion collection where you will love all the clothes being presented except now at Hermes 2010 Fashion collection. The designs are all must love and must have designs.
Hermes theme was Tennis with its classic tipspin. Hermes spring collection are must have when he presented his latest creation with stimulating graphics of black and white sportswear.
Jean Paul Gaultier also served different kinds of tennis skirts from long line cardigans to club t-shirts. It was very unpredictable especially when a creamy lizard Birkin was served with a ball bag to match. Hermes made a good job in preserving his timeless style.
