Your Top Collections of F/W 10.11

[LagerfeldBoy]

is it just me or was this season really weak?
i am not in love with any collection, i feel like i've seen it all before...

except for some outfits at balenciaga, no-one has really been trying to really push the envelope this season..

maybe i'm getting old

ugh, couldn't agree more. My top collection has to be Balenciaga. It was colorful, energetic, and fashion forward unlike other collections. I'm still dissapointed by how Vuitton was. I love last seasons, which was fun and gimmicky but fun, and it was a complete boring stale mess this season. Top collections that I loved from the top of my head were Versace, Chanel, Balenciaga, Thakoon, Donna Karan, DKNY, Alexander Wang, Givenchy, Balmain, Burberry Prorsum, Celine, Rodarte, Rag & Bone, Proenza Schouler, N21 Alessandro Dell'Acqua, Roberto Cavalli, & Karl Lagerfeld.

My big dissapointments were Vuitton, Missoni, & Marc Jacobs.

[Not Plain Jane]

Yes, (in addition to my 12 already listed) I liked Reed Krakoff's collection:

And there were some nice things in Richard Chai Love's collection too; I like the easy layering.

And there's always something in Rick Owens.

Agree with those who say Milan was rather lackluster this season; Prada's collection was good enough, ditto Miu Miu, but nothing stand out, imo. Such a personal preference thing, though, I guess.

 

[lordevan]

Lanvin and Haider Ackerman were a tier above the rest. Gareth pugh, ann dem, A.F Vandevorst, and mcqueen were also very good.

 

[Psylocke]

best:
- Haider Ackermann
- L.A.M.B. by Gwen Stefani

disappointing (because my expectations were high
- Isabel Marant
- Missoni

 

[amor]

Prada. Bits of YSL. Bits of Junya. Bits of Dries. Bits of Marc. Bits of Miu Miu. Half of Celine. Half of Jil.

As a whole, this is the weakest season in recent memory.

 

[girlalamode]

Haider Ackermann was my absolute favourite

ok i'm disappointed, no one seems to like it...but this seasons, for men and even women, there is one collection :

Versace​

why ? because 1st that was risquy ! and then it was simply efficient. there is a mix of futuristic inspirations and italian style. that was new, that was fresh, that was great. ok, yes we're far from sexy princess dress...yes that's true. but isn't fashion supposed to bring something to what was already done ? that what she and her new direction team did !

hopefully men seemed to enjoy that collection made for "us"...

Then, Chanel. did u noticed that collection is a "fabric miracle" ?

(from style.com)

karl talked about that look. it's technically incredible, this is a mohair couture "dégradé", extremly hard to make...and the collection in general is made like that. and this is chanel : quality's the best signature of the brand, and there they didn't failed, that was amazing.
great work with men too

style

Love:
-Alexander McQueen. His collections have always been my favourites, and this was no exception. Royal alien couture.
- Hermès. I would wear eveything *o*
- Lanvin
- Philosophy by Alberta Ferretti. Another one I can see myself wear everyday

Strongly dislike
- Chanel. Oh well..
- Balenciaga. I didn't see anything I liked, but I have never been a fan
- Versace. Tacky and safe.

Dislike
- Prada. Shows Miuccia can only dress one type of woman.
- Valentino. What they did to the label is a crime.

Like
- Kenzo. Really nice.
- Christian Dior.
- Jean Paul Gaultier.
- Louis Vuitton.

New York : Patrik Ervell

London: Richard Nicoll, MeadhamKirchoff, Louise Goldin.

Milan : .............

Paris : Haider Ackermann, Celine , Dries Van Noten .

The amount of designers who I can barely visualise what they have shown is kind of shocking - It as if I look at their collections then dispose of the information because it lacked any impact . These are my favourites because they have stuck in my head for good reasons.

 

[FashionPower]

So here we go again with the best/worst list...I think this season is much more difficult for me,since we had a lot of big shows while other miserably failed
BEST:
1-Roberto Cavalli:HE'S BACK!Nobody does bohemian chic luxury like him!Loved everything about the show,the styling was impeccable
2-Dsquared:that's what I call CHIC TRASH! It was one of the best collection Dan Dean has ever done,so vicious,powerulf,sexy and cool!The runway setting and the music matched the collection so well
3-Emilio Pucci:this is the definition of luxury!We have a new Balmain!Definitely one of the best from Dundas
4-Versace:I don't know why so many people hated this.I honestly kind of like this new cool young direction Donatella is taking...previous season was better but this one is absolutely amazing too!
5-Chanel:another trash but fascinating collection!Yeti looks for the win! some dresses were to die for,and so the perfect impeccable styling

WORST:
1-Gucci:just one word for this ANONYMOUS!Such a weak collection,simple styling,simple clothes,nothing caught my attention...even the shoes were so-so
2-Jean Paul Gaultier:ugh Mexican inspiration again.Everything looked so sloppy and cheap...bad bad!
3-Fendi:first looks were gorgeous.Then it turned into a super boring show,the colour palette was revolting
4-Chloeh Hannah you did not even try to do a new collection,it was a copy of FW09,try to do something different next time
5-Louis Vuitton:it wasn't that bad after all,it's just that I hate grandma style.I associate LV more with FW09,which was a young cool glamorous collection,rather than with this
