Marc Jacobs is still obsessed with the French coquette at Louis Vuitton for cruise spring summer 2010. Silhouettes are short, topped with cocooning jackets or sporty hooded parkas, while combinations of polkadots, marine stripes and camouflage prints spice up dresses and swimsuits. Rope-trimmed lacquer bangles and glinting sequins worked into broderie anglaise jackets add shine to this fun and flirty.
In his pre-spring summer collection 2010 for Balenciaga, Nicolas Ghesquière paid homage to the voluminous silhouettes and couture fabrics of house founder Cristóbal.
The fall winter 2009 2010 collection of Gucci at Milan Fashion Week was too 80’s. Metallics, asymmetrical stripes, shots of turquoise, and bold shoulders. Short dresses, Kimono and draped tops with sparkling leggings are perfect party clothes.
Sequins, beading, pailletes, and rhinestones provided a mini punch strategically placed on shoulders, lapels, waists, and sleeves. This was one of the trends for fall winter 2009 2010 in New York Fashion Week. Shoulders were the most popular.
