Louise Goldin Unravelled

Louise Goldin Unravelled is a great video series that covered Louis Goldin’s Fall Winter 2009 – 2010 collection. It goes from conception to show and it’s fascinating. Working backwards from Louise Goldin’s show at London Fashion Week in February 2009, Unravelled reveals every facet in the development of her Autumn/Winter 2009 collection, deconstructing her creative process through ten weekly episodes. Recording months of work and featuring extensive in-depth interviews and intimate footage from her studio and factories in Milan – much shot by Goldin herself – Unravelled pulls Louise Goldin’s experimental and innovative work apart at its seams, offering unique access inside the creativity one of fashion’s most exciting new talents.

Greta Constantine Fall 2009 – 2010 Lookbook

Greta Constantine Fall 2009 – 2010 Lookbook Since the lookbook has been out I’ve noticed a little bit of misinformation about the Greta Constantine Boys that I would like to clear up: Greta Constantine is not Project Runway Canada alums. Stephen Wong entered the contest as an individual not as Greta Constantine which includes his partner Kirk Pickersgill. Just clearing that up for you.

Belvedere vs Bustle Fall 2009 Bags

Belvedere Vodka and Bustle Clothing collaborated during LG Fashion Week. Nine Canadian graffiti artists were tapped to create bags for Bustle’s Fall 09 collection, featuring the aesthetic of Belvedere’s new IX bottle. The bags are pretty cool and I thought I’d share them. I thought about linking to the new Belvedere product but the website offends my sensibilities so you’ll have to google it for yourself.

Footwear trends from Fall 2009 – 2010 from the buyers

I found this posts called The Reaction that had the buyers explaining the footwear trends from Fall 2009 – 2010 season. You can read the original articles at The Reaction on WWD.com – March 9, 2009 and The Reaction – WWD.com – March 16, 2009 Barbara Atkin, VP of Fashion Direction, Holt Renfrew Strongest Trends: “The extreme platform and sky-high heel, but also the return of the single sole. Strappy winter shoes that can transition from season to season. The overdesigned statement shoe is still important, and the ankle boot is strong with cutouts.” “Must-Carry” Styles From Milan: Gucci’s thigh-high, long stocking boots Burberry Prorsum’s rubber platform hiking boot Prada’s single-sole Mary Janes with studding and fringe Shift in Buying Strategy: “We are not going to be overly assortive, or as broad as we have been in the past. Rather, we’ll offer the most important DNA from each collection that speaks to our strong point of view.” Stephanie Solomon, Fashion Director, Bloomingdale’s Strongest Trends: “The decorated shoe, over-the-top embellishment with feathers, beads, buckles and nailheads. …

Greta Constantine Ready to Wear – Fall 2009 – 2010

The Greta Constantine Ready to Wear Fall 2009 – 2010 show as held at The Courthouse. I had been hearing good things from Kirk and Stephen for months. I got a look at the fabric swatches in the fall, but I never saw the collection. I would have to wait to see this so called amazing collection. So, I’ve been on pins and needles for months wondering what the boys will come up with. I was hearing about dresses named after people I know and how freaking stunning they are. There was some logistical problems getting into the venue due to all the people there. It’s an interesting venue but I heard if you didn’t have a seat you didn’t see anything. The room had high ceilings and it was a little dark. I was talking with one of the Holts crew and she likened the atmosphere to a Miu Miu show, which was very accurate. The runway was a problem too. There was a section where I was sitting that was wood and incredibly …
