Writing.

I've missed my blog ever so much. I allowed myself quite a lot of downtime today, watching far too many episodes of the first season of Sex and the City. Every thought I have that does not consist of "I want Chinese food" or something related, comes to me in a profound question. Jesus, Carrie Bradshaw. You've penetrated my brain. Now if only I had a more impressive bank account I could use to spoil myself on McQueen Armadillo shoes for my collection of heels-to-walk-around-the-house-in.

Unbelievable. Now, I must return to some not so enticing writing. or editing rather, of an critical essay.

Miu Miu

After completely skipping over Miu Miu last season, I now present a belated post of my eight favorite looks.
Miuccia deserves more than this, but this is what I've decided to do.

Louis Vuitton

With a new power chord finally arriving to my dorm, I can blog again!
Marc Jacobs's most recent collection for Louis Vuitton was a dreamy journey of cinematic proportions. It seems that he has really gone soft with this season, as his collection for his namesake label was similarly wondrous. While watching it, I couldn't stop thinking of the Fifties and old movies, though I feel putting it in such a box is unfair. The collection was timelessly beautiful, bringing out a woman's body with nipped waist and breasts spilling out of corsets. As at Prada, the models came from a wide range of arenas. Having multiple Victoria Secret models on a runway always gets the lips of fashion people moving, but it did not appear gimmicky or contrived. The women were just beautiful, whether they had boobs or not. Elle Macpherson closed the show, looking impossibly ravishing. From the full skirts to the flat bows on low-heeled shoes, this show might be hard for the pretty young things of the fashion world to swallow, but I get it. Marc challenges you as a consumer, but his work is indisputably genius.

Amazing Anna.

I'm actually more surprised that there is only a bit of sparkle in this photo than I am to see her doing this.
I adore the woman.

Chanel, finally.

On a day like today—an unfortunately disheartening one—Breakfast at Tiffany's and another look at the F/W 2010 line of Chanel can bring a smile to my face. The latter is going to be the focus of my discussion, as I am far behind in posting on it.

Fantastic does not even begin to describe Karl Lagerfeld's latest collection for the fashion house. With the imported icebergs framing the runway, the models stomped through a layer of shallow water, appearing ready for winter. They might even have been ready for the next ice age. Without a doubt, this was Karl's comment on the environment, seeing as the Copenhagen conference just took place. And what a comment it was. Faux fur was used widely, even appearing in the form of pants. From details to accessories—fur boots with ice block heels, ice cube bags—to the clothes themselves, the collection was genius. It certainly won't be deemed "wearable", though there are plenty of wearable pieces, but I just roll my eyes at the word. The lengthy show was a dream.

Surprisingly, Karl's gorgeous model muse Baptiste Giabiconi was not the only male model on the runway. I curious to know if that is significant. I don't want to stop seeing him. More importantly, feast your eyes.
