In a world where most “looks” have been created already….. it’s always refreshing to witness a Marc Jacobs show.  Forever an innovator, its Jacobs modern approach to styling and the vision of his creations that cause the hysteria over his collections.  With a musical score likened to that from the old Hollywood movies of Gene Kelly, the sound is big band, classy and incredibly sophisticated.   The femininity of this era was best known for emphasising the waist, and this is perhaps the anchor of this collection for Marc Jacobs Spring Summer 09 catwalk parade.  A modern fusion of textural patchwork from checks, jewelled skirts, brocade sash belts, lurex threaded shirts and all offset by the most amazing accessories destined to become “must haves” for the new season; ankle wrap sky high stiletto’s, hand held “lady” bags and matching boater hats, worn tilted of course! The emphasis is on the shoulders with well defined jackets, wide leg pants and ¾ skirts introduce a new silhouette.  Jacob’s trademark “eclecticism” is the perfect blend of vintage inspired shapes and yet thoroughly modern in its styling.  The Applause is ongoing for this master of modernity!  – Kate Vandermeer

All hail the Tuxedo! With a slightly nerdy twist, D&G sent a more modern preppy version of the tuxedo down the runway at Milan fashion week with a monochromatic palette of black and white. Using subtle print detail, pinstripes, lapels and artful pocketing, this tuxedo style dressing is a more casual, modern sportswear approach to the iconic tailoring of yesteryear.

The styling was key in making this look contemporary – jazz style spats, black rimmed glasses, spotty bow ties and cravats were featured to contradict the glamour. This look is part relaxed playboy on his Italian Rivera yacht and part silicon valley with an injection of style! -  Kate Vandermeer

Playboy Euro meets Ghetto Gangster circa 1985 at the Spring Summer 09 Dsquared Parade. With a soundtrack that fused Electric Boogaloo, Breakdance and other gems of the ol skool hip hop era’s, buff models gave good “tude” as they funked down the Harlem hair dressing salon catwalk.

The styling was a fusion of Bronx Bling going upper crust - think Kayne West (who fuses modern clean hip hop style with quality tailoring like no other rapper can).
