Par Example, the Barbie show gave me shudders as i pictured a frivolous affair laden with pink and small fluffy poodles. When infact, it actually looked like alot of fun, and some of the clothing was far more wearable, far more exciting and dare i say far more fashionable than i had imagined.
The makeup was quite extroadinary too, reminds me of Dior Couture from last year...
A second collection that has caught my usually unforgiving fashion eye is Victoria Beckham. When i read the description for the collection (timeless, things women will want to wear etc etc) it all sounded a bit predictable. Which i suppose it is, but the small twists like the Herve Leger shoulders make it more modern, and more 'VB'. It reflects Victoria's style well, which i suppose is what collection are meant to do in the first place.
The final collection i was suprised to like was Miss Sixty. When it's previous collections come to mind i picture jeans and then the rest just meges into chav territory. So i usually don't even bother viewing the collection as i never expect anything more. But this time, although the majority is quite plainly of the norm, i found myself quite entranced by two of the outfits. The trashy pop look is reborn and revolutionised through the use of exaggerated puff sleves and tailored waists...

I'm really surprised at the Victoria Beckham collection, I actually like it! I think it's a definite improvement on her previous collection as well.
Eughh I too have always been pretty anti-Miss Sixty but I have to say the pieces you've shown look pretty impressive.
I hate it when you find something really nice but it's just not in good enough condition to warrant buying it ): The Femme place is next to the beauty Guilio which is next to the men's Guilio. He doesn't actually work there he just lives near there - he works in a gym and as a waiter at Clare College. Although I'm sure he would love to work for Mr. Fagito, he likes to think they have a special bond. Yes I have been there, it is always packed! I got a glasses case from the one in london that's green and has ladybirds and flowers on it and it's still going despite the fact I've dropped it innumerable times.
I do Art, Psychology, English Lit. and Modern History (which starts around the 1800s). I'll probably be dropping Psychology next year though because it's a lot more traditionally science-y than I was expecting. What subjects are you planning on taking for AS?
Sorry for the epic comment!
I'm a bit surprised but my favourite is Victoria Beckam collection, the white coat & black dress are so elegant !
I adore the fourth outfit,i would wear it right away!!
xx
I really enjoyed reading your opinions on all the designers you chose. Im not a huge lover of pink, but i do love legally blonde, therefore im torn between loving and hating the Barbie show. Although I do like the bottom right outfit, that i might wear.
But i Looove the VB Collection. That little black dress on the bottom right is hot.
And then the Miss Sixty collection. All I got to say is that I cant believe the trashy pop look is making a comeback! Not sure how i feel about that.
Great post. xoxo
Fabulous choices!
The Barbie show was so fun!
And Vicky Becks is already evolving - her collection has a hint of Balenciaga to it, no?
Wonderful post, darling!

There's a designer called Barbie? Awesome. I find after looking at too many pictures or watching too many videos, that fashion shows are quite boring, but I could watch that Barbie collection and not be bored, especially that with the fluffy poodles, because even if it isn't really good taste, it must be fun!
The pictures you posted from it are so much fun too.
Oh, you mentioned Dior Couture... That's another show I don't tire of watching.
I found Victoria Beckham's collection a little boring, like her style... But I admit I love that mini dress in the last picture you posted.
I liked the make-up at Miss Sixty's show!
you picked such great photos to display :)
thank you honey :)
ooh I definitely have to take a look at nyfw, I'll sit down and have a good wander around style.com later!!
I love the studded dress in victoria beckhams collection - its yummy!
have a great week!
xx
The barbie collection was loads of fun. And I to was shocked about VB's collection, that purpler jacket is one of the items I espically liked. But over all it was much more than I exected.
Hmm, I was definitely not too sure about Miss Sixty, but I see your point! The last Barbie picture was my faaave look of that collection, it's great. x
I've been lusting over Victoria Beckham's designs too. I really like the deep shade of purple in that first jacket. The last dress is one of my favourite too.
I never thought I'd like Victoria Beckham's collection but here I am dreaming of this purple jacket...
lovely outfits you've chosen to feature here. my favorite are the second set of photos, but especially the one on the right in the second set.

I really love the last piece in the Barbie set. Very Blair Waldorf and the black and navy combo is so sophisticated.
I love love love the pink coat! Wow, I never would have thought that was miss sixty. Normally, I don't like them at all, but I'm certainly impressed and eager to see more!

i LOVED the barbie show, and posh really did an amazing job. i feel like moving to LA has made her into a real fashion icon.
I really enjoyed the Barbie collection to be honest, it was exactly what I had been expecting, but not in a boring way. It pretty much made me smile the entire way through, and fashion that makes me happy is the best type :)
wow. victoria beckham's collection really does remind you strongly of her. haha. looks fairly good. very chic and wearable.
barbie!!! yes...it does conjure up a lot of pink but i've noticed that for serious collectors they have such a massive range of amazingly dressed barbies...it's like..ridiculous!
miss sixty is alright. i like these prints made out of magazine covers! have to go look now :D
i'm really surprised too about victoria beckhams collection. looks very good. i never, never thought that victoria would can make someting like that.
Wow, that Barbie collection really does look quite amazing... I need to take a closer look at that! I love the look with the blazer, and that extrordinary pink coat. Wow.
