Mystic Voyage / Vogue Nippon March 2011

simple, beautiful, and to-the-point nautical editorial. of course the fact that camilla akrans shot this adds thousand points for beautiful photography with amazing light.

Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2011

i know that posting a 2011 pre-fall collection is very, very late in fashion time. although i have always paid attention to fashion, i somehow completely missed out on pre-fall collections! i don't know how this happened but thank god i decided to browse it on style.com because i would have been unaware of an absolutely amazing collection by alexander mcqueen. (so elegant, chic, and crisp crisp crisp!) mcqueen collections always go beyond people's expectations but this 2011 pre-fall lineup inspired by nautical and military theme is all the things that i personally love.

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS LOOK... the structured dress is a thing of beauty and art.

kate middleton wore this exact outfit recently. i'll post her pictures soon :)

i'm not a big fan of this color but the structure of the dress is gorgeous. i can see it in white and have it be a wedding dress.

Vionnet Spring 2011

vionnet has quiet a history. madeleine vionnet was the french designer who created this brand. she is best-known for her elegant grecian-style dresses and for introducing bias cut to the fashion world. vionnet dominated haute couture in the 1930s. her dresses were worn by the like of marlene dietrich, katharine hepburn, and greta garbo.
the current vionnet is under the direction of rodolfo paglialunga and has a steady following in hollywood. although the pre-fall and fall collections were disappointing, i loved its spring collection.
