Altuzarra Fall 2010 RTW

Altuzarra totally took Prada's lace up shin guard boots (Altuzarra LEFT, Prada RIGHT)

Lots of cool little leather dresses that I can totally see on Diane Kruger at a premiere...

What else I liked about this collection are the lace up details. There are the more obvious appearences (as with the shirt on the right) and then the more subtle (the pants detail on the left)

There are also lots of buckles and bondage straps (see pants pictured above, as well as pics below). The high collared jackets are also really cool and vampy.

The collection is finished up with a couple of burgundy velvet pant suits and red dresses.

Michael Kors

With it being winter here in the US, it's hard to even grasp the concept that spring fashion is already OUT in some parts of the world. Even more mind boggling is that collections for Fall 2010 are out there now. Yup. Michael Kors (the judge on Project Runway lol) always has really nice designs but unfortunately I forget that (I have my favorites, I'm sorry). Thanks to OutsaPop, I was reminded of that. Here are a few of my favorite finds from his fall2010.

To me, the collection is a really cool mix of old and new. It's got a little Kate Hepburn, a little Veronica Lake, a little Marilyn all mixed in it, BUT it is NOT a classic throwback collection. It's all very nOw, very fresh. They're not in-your-face remakes or ready-to-wear costume style clothes. The inspiration can be seen, but is not thrown in your face. Like I said, it's really fresh, it's really "now." Love the wearable colors too.

It's day time, night time, work, and casual.

I love this 40s inspired sweater shirt. Looks so warm, and today's freezing, so all I can think about is warmth haha.

There are a lot of variations on this particular dress/sillhouette. There's one with lots of zippers, kind of bondagey and fitted, without the little waist flounce. Others are plain with a leather waist flounce (kind of reminiscent of what Prada's done in the past, incorporating leather)
