Baby Phat S/S 2010
Somehow under the flurry of the Spring/Summer 2010 shows in New York we missed Kimora Lee Simmons Baby Phat collection (who also streamed their show live in Times Square). Maybe it was the amazing Baby Phat tie-dyed jeans we saw in V Magazine that reminded us how far the brand has come. The S/S 2010 line was a mix of Talitha Getty Morocco meets todays denim must haves from washes to distressed denim for both men and women. None the less, I'm glad we're on it now, better late than never!
Banana Republic Spring 2010 Collection
Banana Republic, a brand most traditionally known for its office clothes including perfect chinos and dress shirts, threw caution to the wind with its Spring 2010 collection. Showing last Thursday night, the line featured some new relaxed and distressed denim looks. We love this new side of Banana Republic!
Future Heretics Spring/Summer RTW 2010
Future Heretics showed at Los Angeles Fashion Week last week, featuring 80's inspired street smart denim looks including distressed denim, zippered, biker and military styles. Just before the show started, paper-bagged 40's of Colt 45 were distributed to those in the front row. I'm sure the couture-coifed celebs loved that!
Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2010 RTW
A few pieces of denim or what was made to look like denim, in all its LV-stamped glory, made it down the runway at Louis Vuitton. I'm not sure these are pieces most of us would truly consider "ready to wear" but the show was entertaining nonetheless.
Chanel RTW Spring 2010
Karl Lagerfeld presented his collection for Chanel Spring 2010 at the center of the Grand Palais in Paris on what can only be called a hay filled barn-like stage. Showing key denim pieces for men and women which were spectacularly accessorized as only Karl and Chanel amongst a crowd that included Prince, Rihanna and Lily Allen who rose up out of the floor to perform. His triumphant collection has already received praise from the critics and getting up early in the morning to catch the show online was absolutely worth it!
Stella McCartney RTW Spring 2010
Stella McCartney showed relaxed yet tailored denim pieces for Spring 2010 in Paris even taking the stage in her signature flare jeans and blazer. McCartney's line which is continuing to grow both in fanbase and sales is weathering a tough economic time well according to reports. The greatest show of optimism could possibly of been the smile that models wore on the runway which is natures greatest accessory.
