I really like the Perry Ellis look shown here. I think that the direction he's taking the company is very wearable and affordable and will become a household name again.
Michael Kors, what can I say. I love his Resort and Spring collections every year, I generally like Fall, but something about the way he interprets warm weather clothing I think is very classy. I have definitely missed having he KORS collection in my store. Ironically, he is sooo far from my own personal style, even thought there have been some very impressive pieces in his small menswear collections that I would love to have.
I am pleased by the looks from YSL. He's got some big shoes to fill (Laurent's, not Ford's) and a lot of atttention focused on the house in general right now, so SAFE is okay in my book.
The Chanel stuff doesn't do much for me. I can see everybody's point with Karl's lack of innovation with the brand, but I can't help but remembering the tulle/tweeds that he did last year that looked as if they were desintegrating (sp?). I know people will continue to buy it, but that trench with the tweed trim looks dated to me somehow. (and I thought it was great the first time I saw it).
Now, as for the whole satin ribbon/bow thing....
