Spring runways - YouLookFab Forum

I know, I know--I think by now the fall runway shows are up. But I have been having fun lunch breaks watching various spring/summer RTW runways from major designers. Have probably not even gotten through half.

Here are my favorites:
Mugler--the clothes are so beautifully severe, the models look like gangsters who work for Miranda Priestly.

Valentino--hard for me to even describe...it's so many vintage ideas collaged together in a way that is so complete.

Marc Jacobs--this is the one that pushes the envelope. Architectural clothes usually go one of two ways--emphasizing the angles of the body, or going against them. These do neither--clownish at first, they soon reminded me of how a woman feels about herself on the inside. Mysterious, infantile, ugly, pretty, foreboding...challenging. This was my favorite runway.

Carolina Herrera--every proportion perfect, every drape perfect. I loved the harmony between high fashion and everyday wearability.

I have to check these out! Though the more extreme styles don’t trickle down to my price level, I love seeing new creative ideas. Pushes my brain “envelope” as it were.

Designers I look forward to include Erdem and Etro. And street style photos too.

I recently watched the Chanel Cruise collection which was at the Villa D'Este in Lake Como - stunning for the scenery as much as the clothes which were classic Chanel.

Thanks for sharing Carol. I am going to check these all out this afternoon when I have the time and will report back.

Sloper--thanks for sharing. I watched Erdem today--very Gatsbyesque quality with the fabrics and embellishments. And I loved the crisp, floral prints.

Bijou--so you were there for the show? How amazing. I bet Chanel would do a great cruise collection--smart pants and big sunglasses.

Star--you're welcome--let me know what you think.

I enjoy looking at the runway shows during fashion weeks/months and pin lots of photos but rarely go back and look - thanks for the reminder Carol! Marc Jacobs was definitely a stand out.

I will be checking these out, thanks for the recommendations. I really like Chloe’s lean into Boho, especially the jackets and handbags. I don’t plan on going braless or pant-less in this lifetime, though!

Jaime--you're welcome--it is always nice to get back into.
KimM--Hmm, I am intrigued to check out Chloe--thanks for the recommendation.

Did you watch "The Hunger Games" movies, Carol? The Marc Jacobs show makes me think of "the elite" in that story. I much enjoyed your description of it

Alas no - just watched it on Chanel's website! Sorry to not have put the link on the previous email.

Thank you for posting this Carol! How fun. Carolina Herrera is my absolute favorite! Simple, chic, beautiful colors and, as you say, a certain everyday wearability. I don't go looking for fashion shows but if they come my way like in this case I watch them with pleasure.

Angie--I did see that, and I can picture it. I remember liking Elizabeth Banks: may the odds be ever in your favor!

Bijou--thanks, will check it out.

Sisi--you're welcome! Yes, I did not know much about Herrerra. Head-turning stuff in the best way possible--pure elegance.

Exactly, Carol
