SS09 RTW Favorites

1. Jil Sander

I love how Raf Simons has a fresh love affair with the future.

2. Balmain

Mm.. I echo the world, yes?

3. Richard Nicoll

Above all the somber palette.. Richard Nicoll is how Spring should be. Perhaps.

4. Commes Des Garcons

Rei is crazy. I love crazy. I also love ball texture. Yes to Rei.

5. Haider Ackermann

In love with how coyly sexy it all is and the angular zipper closures. Mm..

6. Proenza Schouler

The best slice of New York FW. Stuff of wet dreams.

Milan FW: Jil Sander

The best thing about Raf Simons for Jil Sander is that, he is intelligently capable of mixing his ideas and the house's signature minimalism into an immaculate cohesion-- and never make it into a "Raf Simons" line. It's enticingly-cut numbers, with fringe draping on the flattering bodice is the epitome of calculated elegance.

And-- Jil Sander is the best show in Milan, hands down.
