These are the most amazing blazers I've seen in years. I've been over stuffing mine with shoulder pads, much to the public's chagrin.

Sonia Rykiel (triumphs again as the most fun!)

I'm going to be honest: I was not impressed by Marc Jacob's over-exagerated cliche of the 80s. I think Gabrielle Greiss, the new creative director for Sonia Rykiel, had a better vision of the new wave era. Sure there was Rykiel staples of glitter and girlish, French charm. But I also saw, in some looks like the second shown here, a homage to John Cryer's duckie (who wore bowlers, secondhand vests and trousers). Of course, the most memorable was those perfect gutter snow, pointed creepers he wore, something I will be donning myself soon once I find them.

I can't help but post this

One of the reasons he is a favorite designer is that he is a master sculptor/draper when it comes to construction. I also love how he takes ordinary articles of clothing, such as the overcoat here, and crafts something that is conceptual, yet completely wearable. The poppy red is so stunning too.

My all time favorite designer can do no wrong. She has been the queen of the "le garçonne" look since the 80s, merging masculine staples with feminine looks. I adore the waist cinchers with the equestrian inspiration. I will definately make some DIY feather headbands too.

p.s. Last fashion show postings for a while at the end of this week, I swear! I will be posting tons of music soon!
