as much as i hate to say it...

im really not enthused by the collections been shown so far in the autumn winter 2010 shows. everything seems so muted compared to spring which some might think is a good thing but im not so sure.

im hoping christopher bailey has something amazing to offer us after his amazing menswear collection for next seasons burberry prorsum....the menswear collection has a complete military feel with beautifully tailor trousers, fur lined lace up boots and bold trenches. it is such a strong statement for mens fashion and stands out from the usual collections that come down the runway for menswear. im loving the embellished shoulders and i wonder if thats gonna trickle on down to the high street - i wonder if any guys would dare to wear!

womenswear hasn't been all that bad though and im noticing a lot of gold on the run way.. i think the best for me so far have been PPQ and Mulberry. Both of these brands I totally love. PPQ's collection has a regal feel to it with their rich textures and strong metallics whereas Mulberry's collection has a good depth of pattern and rich tones...
