S/S Trends....
Season of the coat...
Even though it's S/S 11 coats were a main feature in many of the catwalk collections including Alexander Mcqueen, Issey Miyake, Dries Van Noten, Paul Smith and Lavin to name but afew. But when it comes to the trench nobody does it better than Burberry with beautiful, masculine tailoring and stunning shades of greens and camels, it's by far Christopher Bailey's best collection yet.

S/S Palettes....
S/S 11 seems to have a cloud over the main colour palette with a wash of greys and more blacks then usual it defiantly a dark trend for the summer season.
Afew brighter Colours have shone through the mix of greys however, it seems acid blues are a hit with Prada, Pringle and Feline.
Prints and trends of S/S 11....
The artist....with designers like James Long, Dries Van Noten and Kenzo all adopting this whimsical, salvaged look it brings out the care-free, poetic feel to next season. With acid colours and spontaneous print, it will defiantly be strong come summer.
Half cut....New Power Studio, Marni, Kenzo and Martine Rose's collections have featured this trend of block cuts and colour cutting the body in half. Its a sharp style staple and with it filling the catwalks its an simple but effective summer look.

John Galliano....
John Galliano's Collections are always a spectacle and S/S 11 is no different, styled as Charlie Chaplin models clambered out of a huge clock set. With a somewhat dark side of dandyism each model seemed to digress from Chaplin with dropped-crotch trousers and shrunken jackets and bowler hats to a more luxe three piece suited parisian gentleman, donning porkpie hats. As always from Galliano a surreal collection with immaculate tailoring and amazing imagination.

Paris Fashion Week S/S 11
Viktor & Rolf....
Viktor & Rolf's S/S 11 'Monsieur Collection' is a capture of 1940's seaside glamour, deriving shadows, cast by the sun or artificial lighting from film sets as subtle details in this collection. Tight tuxedo jackets added with crystal-decorated lapels and belted waists brought through the streamline elegance of the 1940's stars. And the trademark Viktor & Rolf glasses printed on jumpers added their quirkiness which I love.

John Varvatos....
John Varvatos S/S 11 collection inspired by the documentary 'Exile on Main Street' not so much necessarily basing it on the band the Rolling Stones but more about the rock 'n' roll leaving the city which added a dandy-esque style to the outfits. Grey being the initially colour palette changing towards a subtle mixture of light blue, khaki and green.

Lanvin....
Lanvin's S/S 11 collection had quite a wintery feel, a focus on coats with over sized and reconstructed lapels and collars, each one having plenty of zips and detachable bits for the transition from spring to summer. With beautiful body tight knitwear and chunky neck jewellery, the collection was predominately black though select colours of aqua blues, greens and yellows used added an impact which immersed you instantly. Alber Elbaz and Lucas Ossendrijver looked at layering and texture thoughout the collection "when you have the texture in front of you, you want to touch it and thats when it becomes emotional. And the texture in the patch-worked jackets did indeed make the clothing beautifully tactile.
Love the greens from the snake skin shoes picked out shown through in the constructed jackets.

Alexis Mabille's S/S 11 Collection was inspired by the story about 'a man lost in the quiet brightness of summertime in a Hamiltonian world, a mirage. A cloud of lightness and volumetric movement, the body is free and shaded from the Sahara wind. You definitely got that image by looking at the models styling which was inspired by the painting from David Hamilton. The clothes seemed to have a lot of sporty jersey elements mixed with more tailored pieces. On the whole it had a quiet and comfortable wearability with a poetry of floating light fabrics.
