2009 Fall Couture: Giorgio Armani Prive

Giorgio Armani's Couture collection exuded wild, intricate details and I loved it all. For Fall, the mastermind experimented with three elements: modernity, rocker chic, and sophisticated tailoring. The results? A smashing lineup of decadent paliette pantsuits, satin frocks, zebra-print blazers, beaded skirts, and velvet aplenty. I love how he mixed together different textiles for maximum interest and texture — my favorite has to be this multimarvelous skirt suit. Fab-u-lous. Beaded and sequined headgear lent a vintage, flapper vibe to the collection while zipper and fur embellishments added a youthful touch. It's risky mixing together so many different textures and elements, but Armani once again proved his cunning capability.

Fab Ad: Bottega Veneta, Fall '09

For Fall, Bottega Veneta creative director Tomas Maier chose to work with Russian model Anna Jagodzinska and famed photographer Steven Meisel.

For Fall, Bottega Veneta creative director Tomas Maier chose to work with Russian model Anna Jagodzinska and famed photographer Steven Meisel. And he's thrilled with the outcome. "I admire the intelligence that [Meisel] brings to fashion. . . . He approaches clothes with an understanding of the women who wear them and an awareness of the cultural context in which fashion exists," Maier said. Bottega is never one for in-your-face ads, and this latest campaign is no exception. Still, I like how the dark, moody background allows the clothes and bags to shine. Side note, for the first time ever, these ads will be advertised in newspapers like the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and London Times. What do you think of them?

2009 Fall Couture: Maison Martin Margiela

For Fall, Martin Margiela didn't veer too far off from his usual avant-garde repertoire.

For Fall, Martin Margiela didn't veer too far off from his usual avant-garde repertoire. By that I mean, he stuck with flesh-colored face masks, bare legs, and nude leotards. He also continued his love of fringe, cropped capes, and bold jackets. In fact, this collection is all about the statement jacket. No pants required, Lady Gaga style. The array of outerwear includes overly fringed jackets, motorcycle-style leather, colored fur, '80s bold shoulder blazers, and intricate cropped vests. My favorite is a fan vest . . . so Karl. It takes a risk-loving gal to worship Margiela. Are you that girl?
