D&G Winter 2011 ready-to-wear show


This Collection is very rustic chic. It modernizes the classic "Sweater" look. In Many of the looks D&G mixes thick sweaters with flowing and fun skirts (pictured below). The background of this show is very simple and rustic mirroring the look of the collection. The patterns on the sweaters give it a very "old-timey" feel. The fur boots add an outdoorsy feel in a "better than uggs" way. D&G added a very ski-chic feel with rhinestone-covered goggles(below) and fun, sporty silhouettes.The Ski pictures behind the models added a ski theme as did the ski themed accessories. Carried by all the models. The collection as a whole had a very "more expensive abercrombie" feel that I think really appeals to all ages. The main models were Natasha Poly and Regina Feoktistova both appearing twice and both Russian. According  to D&G this collection was meant to portray a winter ski weekend.At the end of the show they brought in flowing menswear themed dresses to "wear with apres ski boots" (right). they touched on many concepts such as lingere (below), sheer (below), and outerwear .

Sheer fashion

lately in the fall 2010 ready to wear collections one look has been a recurring theme, Sheer. For some of you who don't know, the sheer look in the fashion world does not mean a see-through blouse with a pretty tank top underneath, it is a raw uncut, uncensored episode of The View and lately they've been playing it on repeats. Now, i'm sure there is an upside to this look...maybe the indecent exposure? no. the ability to wear it in the real world? no. how about the flattering view of the model's chest and stomach? no way. Whoever came up with this look I salute you, you were a true believer that the 1990s will live forever. Even celebrities are starting to wear this look, such as lady GaGa(left) . To prove my point I will add some photos of the latest sheer fashions.Lady Gaga strikes again: Sheer madness for the singer last night as she left London's Bungalow 8
