It'll take me a while to upload everything relating to the Spring/Summer09 collections...but in the meantime I found some M.A.C face charts from the New York shows which I have added to this collection:

Hair & makeup - ss09

It may not be the most wearable collection, but boring it is not. I personally love the futuristic, almost alienesque feel to the clothes. I'm as much of a fan of "structured" clothes as I am of ones that are loose fitting. Interestingly here, some of the dresses have been built to be stiff and rigid, yet the materials used are rather more delicate and soft. The blue dress is a good example of this and my favourite item here.

I'm really in love with this beautiful new Fur Fur collection. I love the traditional Japanese influences here - in some of the fabrics, hair flowers and shapes of the outfits.

Japan Fashion Week started yesterday, and already I'm hooked! I love Japanese fashion - the layering, the colours, the mixture of fabrics and the juxtaposition of them and the fact that you need to look closely to see the details... Below, we can see some examples of this (colourful plaid, stripes and intriguing layering) in the Mercibeaucoup collection.

But, there is also another side to Japanese fashion - the more simplistic, lighter, softer looks. This can be seen in the Short Surface collection.
