Fave 5 Shows Of Spring 2011

I don't usually write about runway shows but I have just recently found a new love and interest for them. Being that fashion month just wrapped up for the season, I have taken a long, luxurious look through the S/S 11 runway show photos on Style.com, and have narrowed my many favorites down to five. (All of the side images open into a new window for a larger view)


Now, I am not a huge fan of pastels or baby colors but Saab does it so well with this collection. Minimalist vamped up with sequins is my kind of neutral! I am also a sucker for anything chiffon for the sheer element, and jersey because of its draped effect. I overall just love the fun, flirty look of this collection, and the idea of keeping girlie pieces in style.



Doma has reinvented yellow for me. I want to own every item of clothing in this color, it just makes me smile from ear to ear! Along with the feminine yellow, and other neutral colors used for this collection, the cropped tops, stunning leather belts and tailored jackets make up a beautiful combination overall. And of course I was in love with the quality of the sheer pieces, because it is my sick addiction :)



There is something about Tribal prints that makes me melt. I absolutely ADORE this collection. I mean are you SERIOUS? You are given tailored pieces, tribal print, rich colors, milky neutrals, sheer elements... all in one cohesive collection. What's not to love?!



I would happily own and wear ANY, and I do mean ANYYY item from this collection. These polka dot chiffon pants with the tassel belt are BEAUTIFUL. The metallic pant suit is extremely tasteful and the color pallet has been executed perfectly. I am in love with everything about this show, Phillip Lim, you've done us proud, again!



Okay. Let me get this straight. We have sheer fabrics, leopard prints, minimalist colors, embroidery, draping, zippers, AND tailoring, all in one collection, and it still looks fabulous? Yeah, I have just died, and this show brought me to life again. I really have nothing else to say about this collection, it's just that good.
