Moschino Resort 2010

The Moschino Resort 2010 collection was mostly comfortable day clothes. Some of the coats, jackets, shirts, and pants are suitable for office wear. All in all, this collection is a very practical one.

Nina Ricci Fall 2009 Ready To Wear

Nina Ricci Fall 2009 Ready To Wear was Olivier Theyskens's farewell collection for this house. It is a pity because the clothes, especially the gowns were quite stunning and many celebrities have been photographed wearing them.

Here are some of my favorite dresses from the Nina Ricci Fall 2009 Ready To Wear collection:

Nina Ricci Fall 2009 Olivier Theyskens one shoulder dress
Nina Ricci Fall 2009 Olivier Theyskens tunic dress
Nina Ricci Fall 2009 Olivier Theyskens leather jacket dress

Purple beaded dress (previous picture's right photo) is reduced from $1,575 to $945 at Bergdorf Goodman but the sizes are large.

This is the end of the fall season so not much inventory is available at the shopping websites. Here are some more shopping websites with Nina Ricci clothes:

  • Outnet.com
  • mytheresa.com
  • I am delaying the reports on the Spring 2010 collections because of lack of pricing information. With all the hype on Peter Copping's first collection for Nina Ricci, I am expecting many online shops to be offering items from the Nina Ricci Spring 2010 Ready To Wear collection. (Peter Copping worked as a designer under Marc Jacobs at Louis Vuitton.)

    Celine Spring 2010 Ready To Wear - luxurious and classy

    Many people looked forward to Celine's Spring 2010 Ready To Wear collection to see if Phoebe Philo can turn this luxury house around. The result? Phoebe Philo successfully delivered a set of classy day clothes for the modern woman! The clothes were minimalistic with very clean lines. The colors were subdued and classic with white, black, beige, and brown. But, it was the use of leather for dresses, T-shirts, skirts, and shorts that makes the outfits daring, luxurious, and rich. These clothes are made for the confident and stylish woman.

    Here are some of my favorite pieces in the Celine Spring 2010 Ready To Wear collection:

    Celine had been a successful accessories house. However, the handbags and shoes for this Spring Ready To Wear collection is still not up to par. I'm looking forward to better things in this area in the next collection. Here are some of the handbags and shoes from the Celine website (celine.com):

    New Creative Director for Celine Resort 2010

    Phoebe Philo, who succeeded Chloe's creative director job from Stella McCartney, is now the new designer for Celine. Phoebe worked for Chloe in 1997, first, as Stella MacCartney's assistant, and then, she took over Chloe's creative director job from 2001-2006. After two and a half years of hiatus from work, Phoebe is now back in the game. Celine Resort 2010 is Phoebe's debut collection.

    The clothes in this resort collection are certainly more updated and modern than what we've seen in recent Celine collections. Still we are looking forward to something even better for Spring 2010 Ready To Wear. For now, here are some of my favorite pieces in the Celine Resort 2010 collection:

    The Louis Vuitton Resort 2010 collection has a few light coats, some swimwear, some shorts, and quite a few dresses. The collection is not very big. The footwear is probably the most interesting part of the collection. There are leather rope flat sandals, cork platform sandals, gold or black sequined leather boots (with peeptoes), leather gladiator flat sandals, and stilettos.

    The nautical flavor nylon bag, Monogram Bulles, is new, and it comes in three sizes ($1,170-$2,330). However, you may want to check out the Mini Noe Rococo bag (see picture below), which is a sequined pouch (5.1"x8.4"x7.1") selling for $2,490 at the louisvuitton.com website.
