The Erdem Fall 2010 collection was another one that needed video in order to get the full impact of it’s beauty. The photos look flat and don’t provide the same visual experience the video offers.
Louise Goldin’s fall 2010 collection brought me back into the fold. I wasn’t all that interested in what she did for Spring. However fall was dark, hard and futuristic. Pictures don’t tell the whole story so I’ve provided you with the video.
It was the prints that attracted me to Maria Grachvogel Fall 2010 collection. They remind me of the sea, sky and mountains.
Maria started her line in 1994 and has been showing at London Fashion week since. She shuns traditional techniques and doesn’t use fit models but real people. Sizes run from 2 – 20 and she designs so that the garments flatter all sizes.
Maria Grachvogel hand paints each design which is then digitally printed on the fabric.

The power of video once again proves itself to me. I would have totally overlooked Mark Fast Ready to Wear 2009 – 2010 without seeing this video. The pictures of the collection on Style.com don’t do it justice.
Mark Fast is a 27 year old Canadian born knitwear designer. He grew up outside the city of Winnipeg, in the countryside along a highway next to a forest. This minimal, peaceful lifestyle led him to wonder what life might be like beyond the familiar frontiers of Canada.
Finally finding inspiration in London, Mark studied at Central Saint Martins for five years. He completed his BA there and went on to complete his MA in February 2008. Mark has also created knitwear for Bora Aksu, a collaboration that spanned three seasons.
The world stopped for me when I started to look at the House of Holland Fall 2009 – 2010 collection. I actually liked it. I normally hate everything House of Holland does.
The simple concept worked for me; Pantone madness. As I’ve said to others “It’s a colour blocking monstrosity, but I like it”. The House of Holland Fall 2009 – 2010 video was cute. The models were smiling and having a good time. He actually did some menswear, that was left out of the WWD page, but are in the video.
