Womenswear FW 2010 - New York!

New York...Concrete jungle where dreams are made of...there's nothing you can't do...in New York...these streets will make you feel brand new...and everything at Bryant Park will inspire you! Funny thing...this is the last season that Fashion Week will be held in the amazing tents of Bryant Park! So it's one to see, that's for sure, I just said that like if every fashion week isn't! Anyway, it will begin on February 11th until the 18th, I know you can't wait as much as I can't; lets see if the American designers rise to the top or fall to the wayside. I just love the brewing competition to see which fashion city/capital produces the best collections overall, secretly we know that its something they all think about, no matter how different their methods or styles are, we know good fashion when we see good fashion! I hope all my readers out there, have enjoyed the Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks - Menswear(*but that is pretty much over...it's onto Womenswear of Fall 2010) and will continue to support Stylistic Imagination through New York's! God Bless and Thank You!

Menswear FW 2010 - Paris Favorites!

Alright...since the major European Fashion Weeks are finito, I would just like to share with you my favorites from paris...just as i did with Milan. Honestly, I am still more in love with the Top 5 Looks of Milan, than the Top 5 looks of Paris but after thinking about it...they are completely different in their design and overall style, and I would wear everything here!

1) Paul Smith


2) Lanvin


3) Dries Van Noten


4) Givenchy


5) Dior Homme

Menswear FW 2010 - Paris The Finale Set

Paris...Pariee...this is the last part of my paris reviews, hasn't it been an interesting ride, or is that too subdued of an adjective. We have had many highs and many "I don't knows", many great looks and many fascinating shows...I could be a poet huh?? Realistically...Paris Fashion Week has definitely expanded my expressive writing abilities to a level that I have never thought possible, and I'm sure you can agree with me, after some of the indescribable pieces, after almost losing my mojo, I can happily say Paris has never once left me without something to say.


Therefore, I'm going to do this differently, no written reviews for this one! Its all about the visual and then one key word to describe it all!

Agnes B...is where my start to the end begins: Fun!


Paul Smith: Eclectic!


Raf Simons: Inventive!

Rick Owens: Alien!


Leave your comments let me know...what your one word description for each would be!

Ohh...and let me say...props to Agnes B. for having dreads on the runway...see how fly they are...sh*t!
