Spring 2008
LA Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Jeremy Scott
Jeremy Scott is never one to shy away from bold and racy designs and his Spring 2008 collection was no exception. Though there was no ass-slapping between models like there has been in his past shows, there was lots of drama. Namely, all the female models walked out with large garbage can hats.
LA Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Gregory Parkinson
Have you ever wondered what it would look like if a hippie chick and a gypsy girl raided each other's closets? Welcome to Gregory Parkinson's Spring 2008 collection: a hybrid of tie dye and ombre prints that a hippie craves meshed with the flowiness and ease a gypsy needs for her vagabond life.
Color was everywhere in this happy collection and it included vibrant yellows, oranges, reds, pinks, purples and greens.
LA Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Petro Zillia
Paris Hilton is an avid Petro Zillia fan — in fact, upon her exit from jail, she wore the brand's olive blazer. Judging from this collection of flirty and fun dresses, it's clear the feeling is mutual for Petro Zillia designer Nony Tochterman; I can for sure see the star sporting these frocks.
Color and silky fabrics were omnipresent.
Paris Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Viktor & Rolf
After last season, when models walked out attached to their own personal lighting apparatuses, I was curious to see what gimmick Viktor & Rolf would come up with next.
Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren are romancing the harlequin for Spring: Pierrot collars, pom-poms, diamond shapes, and violins were choice motifs. The pretty palette was Chanel-inspired: black, white, blushing pink and peach.
London Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Aquascutum
British brand Aquascutum is known for inventing the first waterproof cloth in 1853 and creating the raincoat to protect the English from the unpredictable weather. Given those facts, it's not surprising the Spring collection was chock full of outerwear. The majority were simple with clean lines, functional yet stylish.
London Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Christopher Kane
After 23 of his Spring collection pieces were stolen from his studio just a little over a week ago, Christopher Kane set out to recreate everything, with only days before his presentation. Many would have folded under such pressure, but Kane pulled it off.
The 25-year-old designer presented a ruggedly feminine rock'n'rolly collection full of python printed chiffon, ripped denim, and ruffles galore.
New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Diane von Furstenberg
Diane von Furstenberg has a new direction for Spring: step away from her iconic wrap dresses and embrace flowing, colorful ones. Though a few safari-style wrap dresses crept onto the catwalk (it wouldn't be DVF without it), most pieces were loose maxi frocks and tee shirt dresses in bright and bold colors. There were some vintage-inspired skirt suits and voluminous tunics in amazing tropical prints.
2008 Spring Couture: Givenchy
If there's such a thing as being equally minimalist and over-the-top, Givenchy's Spring 2008 couture show is it. Natalia Vodianova and Lou Doillon looked on as Riccardo Tisci's creations came to life.
On the simple spectrum, there were slim white pants and tailored white blazers, sheer tank tops and ivory tights.
Spring 2008 Couture: Armani Privé
Yet again, Mr. Giorgio Armani presented a drama-filled collection that his best costumer, Cate Blanchett, can easily fall in love with.
Armani Privé came in the form of oversized ruffles, poufy bubble hems, large stand-up collars, fuzzy feathers, overly tiered skirts, and lots of embellishments. And though the designer isn't usually one to overdo accessories, this collection was an exception.
LA Fashion Week Spring 2008, Chick by Nicky Hilton: Love It or Hate It?
Nicky Hilton's Spring 2008 collection for her line, Chick by Nicky Hilton, is retro with a modern twist. This apple print halter mini dress is one of the many cutesy pieces Paris' little sis designed. Although apples aren't one of my favorite fruits (I mean does an apple a day really keep the doctor away?), I would wear this frock because it's lighthearted, fun and super girly.
