Fashion Week Fall 2010 Ready to Wear

Fashion Week Fall 2010 Ready to Wear

Fall 2010 Ready to Wear- The silhouettes this season flow more away from the body and allow for more layering and combinations rather than focus on body-hugging looks. Few collections have a range of color, and more of focus on the shine of the fabric to attract attention. Looks have more wear ability and versatility, giving women more sustainable pieces for their closet, but with no compromise to individuality.

D&G- D&G pushed for fashion full throttle with skin tight knits and full furs that made no apologies. The first look with bodyshaping knits and striking fur boots summed up the whole collection: a woman who isn’t afraid to show a little skin and is willing to make a statement- even if that means compromising on functionality. The collection took the traditional knit pattern associated with winter, and transformed it into rebellious snow-wear in the form of knee high boots, minidresses, and unitards. D&G recreated festive clothing into a style that wouldn’t be limited to the holiday seasons. The brief incorporation of blazers with the knits took the woman from vacation to vocation, cleverly showing the adaptability of knits. The collection used a wide variety of fabrics and the inclusion of flowing material released the strict attitude that would be present if it wasn’t for the ease of the material. Although the collection successfully combined different textures in almost every look, the ending heavy white dresses weren’t cohesive with the other statement looks. D&G created excitement towards winter 2011 and proved that there can be plenty of fire in a season of ice.
