Best of Celine F/W 2011
Celine designer Pheobe Philo described her latest collection for the French house as “Strong. Powerful. Reduced”. This translated into beautiful funnel-neck coats and dresses, elegant slim pants, some with a little ankle flare, bits of 1970s style leather detail on some looks, and shearling coats and capes. Philo’s interpretation of luxury as sophisticated simplicity prevailed, keeping RDuJour a loyal fan. Continue reading for favorite looks.

Marni Autumn/Winter 2010
Consuelo Castiglioni’s autumn-winter collection for her label Marni consisted of her signature bohemian looks with structured lines and geometric patterns. Definitely a collection where one will have to pick a piece here and there rather than pull on the whole runway ensemble it was one of my favorite collections from Milan so far.

Amanda Wakeley A/W 2010
Designer Amanda Wakeley kicked off her fashion week by accepting an OBE as a part of the Queen’s Birthday Honors list for both her contribution to the British fashion industry and her fundraising for breast cancer. About her OBE Wakeley said, “This award is also recognition for the talented and committed teams that I am fortunate to work with both in my own business and at Fashion Targets. I am incredibly honoured to receive this award, especially with my Autumn / Winter 2010 show at London Fashion Week being only days away.” Meanwhile her collection was a hit too, a very on trend series of tailored day wear and seventies inspired gowns.

Oscar de la Renta Fall 2010
Oscar de la Renta presented some his famous full-on glamour yesterday afternoon. Ruffled hair and smokey eyes reminiscent of the 1970s paired with sparkly suits and slinky dresses were all part of the look which will no doubt be filing in and out of Madison Avenue cafes in months to come.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall 2010
Marc Jacobs is renowned for his ability to move forward with trends and knows how to set a good mood to his collections. Fall 2010 was no exception moving firmly away from traces of the 80s that he helped pioneer over the past few seasons. Structured, subdued, and with slight military references, Jacobs collection, complete with khaki coats and wool dresses, will appeal to the young urbanites who flock to his designs.

Thakoon Fall 2010
As we all saw in The September Issue designer Thakoon Panichgul is one of Anna Wintour and Vogue’s favorite up-and-comers. Formerly the maker of all things light, pretty, and printed, Thakoon Fall 2010 collection shifted in a new direction that was muted in city colors like greys, white, brown, and black, and hooded in lots of fur. Continue reading for additional photos.

Diane Von Furstenberg Fall 2010
For her Fall collection Diane Von Furstenberg noted, “I always wanted to live a man’s life in a woman’s body”. The sentiment rang true in her designs which featured elements of men’s style mixed with feminine frills, most notably seen in the rosette covered mans blazer and paired cropped trouser pants model by Natalia Vodianova. The rest of the collection meanwhile was more sparkle and frills than boy-meets-girl chic. Continue reading for additional photos.
