The Fashion Spot picks for F/W 11.12 best collections

Whereas last season left me with a lot to choose from most of the shows this season left me cold or indifferent. Even those that I did like didn't quite blow me away.

Marc Jacobs - even though it didn't move me like his spring collection did I grew to like what Marc did with such banal ideas as glamour and sex.
Proenza Schouler - I didn't love all of the print mixing, but there were some truly gorgeous pieces in the collection.
Gucci - proof that this was an underwhelming season if the only thing that stands out from Milan was a show that I didn't even love all that much.
John Galliano - maybe my opinion would be different were it not for the huge sense of loss attached to the collection, but as it stands I felt it was one of his most beautiful in a while.
Alexander McQueen - compared to last season I felt that there was a much better balance of all the McQueen elements, though I feel like Burton hasn't quite reached the perfect balance in her runway collections.
Louis Vuitton - an incredible show, and a nice reinterpretation of the themes Marc played with for his own collection, though like his own collection this one didn't quite compare to spring either.

Honorable mentions: Vionnet (loved the styling), Balenciaga (loved the shoes), YSL (loved the all white finale), Mugler (loved the energy).

It was a weak season in my opinion.

Mary Katrantzou:



Prabal Gurung:



and Gucci:

In Paris, so many collections to love!

John Galliano:



Alexander McQueen:



Haider Ackermann:



Valentino:



Lanvin:



Louis Vuitton:

 
If I had to pick one single most preferred collection of this entire season, it would definitely be Yves Saint Laurent:



style.com again

If only I could afford it! :heart:

Overall, the season hasn't been bad at all in my opinion.
 
1. Haider Ackerman - Such a sensual and artistic collection!
2. Prada - I love the innocence look! Something women need these days
3. Lanvin - One of the best of the best!!
4. Alexander McQueen - the question still remains: Why doesn't AM go Haute Couture?
5. John Galliano - A collection that can easily be defined as CHIC
6. Louis Vutton - Besides having on of the best shows, the clothes are absolutely stunning
7. Michael Kors - Simple Glamour at its Chicest!
8. Oscar de La Renta - The elegance is still there, but the inspiration behind it gives it the youthful look that ODLR has been lacking recently
9. Chanel - A delightful take on androgyny, also one of the edgiest collections from Chanel!
10. Yves Saint Laurent - I just simply love it!!

I really loved this season! The explosion of color and the thought of playing with your own sexuality is what makes this season on of the BEST!!!!

Brava Brava Brava!!
