The Beast and Dragon, Adored

Look, I've read the directions. I know the trends.

I know what's out there. So, screw it.

Beautiful Minds (Part Deux)

I should be looking online for decent hotels to stay in for next week's trip to Jakarta and Bali. Instead, I go on the web to gawk at them brains behind some of my fave collections for Spring-Summer 2010.

Stella McCartney

Gareth Pugh

Phoebe Philo

Yes, it's so smooth when they look as cool as their masterpieces.

P.S. - I can sleep on the streets of Indonesia. But not really. ;D

NUDE PICS

It's nude on nude! 

Lots of rib cut-out and asymmetrical detailing, the color orange (gah!) and blue in shades of faded denim are prominent. Combos of black-white design and material patterns are also easy to spot. But it's nude, to me, that screams loudest this Spring/Summer 2009. 

(Could nude be the new black?) 

Nina Ricci

Zac Posen

Lanvin

Calvin Klein
