The Making of Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall 2007

I’m getting excited for couture. I’ve discovered this French documentary on the making of the Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall 2007 collection.

Balenciaga Menswear Lookbooks Fall 2007 and 2009

I got the Fall 2007 Balenciaga Men’s lookbook at the Meatpacking district store in NYC. I was there for fashion week and was checking out the stores in the area.

I prefer the Fall 2007 collection. It’s very preppy, which was keeping with the Balenciaga Fall 2007 woman minus the lego shoes.

The Fall 2009 lookbook I got in the menswear sections of Holt’s bloor street. Not as exciting as the Meatpacking District, le sigh. I like the simple layout of the lookbooks. The format hasn’t changed either, I like that.

The Fall 2009 collection is a lot more sleek and angular. I like the use of colours. I didn’t really see the connections with Balenciaga women’s as it was drapey, sparkly and full of prints.

I’ve decided to change up my “i got…” posts this year and include some of the not necessarily new gems in my closet. To kick it off, a pair of Alexander McQueen heels I got during a Now or Never Sale at Holt Renfrew. I think they are from the Fall Winter 2007 – 2008 collection.

The Balenciaga Influence – shoe trends

It’s interesting to watch the progression of a trend. Example the Balenciaga Lego shoe. I’ve been wondering how long it would take to filter down to mass market level. Here is a rough timeline:

Feburary 2007 – Balenciaga debuts the shoe during the Fall/Winter 2007 – 2008 runway show.

June 2007 – Beyonce is spotting in the C3PO leggings. A few months later she is sporting the lego shoes; paparazzi fodder. I groan.

April 2008 – Steve Madden did the more literal version of the Balenciaga Lego shoes, they are absolute monstrosities.

Today – September 2008 – Now good old Aldo is doing the inspired version. So can still see the influence though.

So I decided to knockoff Prada Fall 2007 style

So I decided to knockoff Prada Fall 2007 style thanks to Nine West and American Apparel.

It’s finally getting to be warm enough. Once I actually bust it out for something, I’ll take a picture.
