The Latest From PFW Spring 2011

Lanvin





Every season, women wait with devotion to see how Lanvin's Alber Elbaz will make them look and, more importantly, feel beautiful. It's become a biannual ritual, really. Lanvin's spring collection will not disappoint, but women should expect something a little bit different,as well. Elbaz seemed to take a more aggressive—albeit in his gentlemanly way—stance on dressing. There was more oomph. There was more, well, grrr.


Loewe





A year into the gig and Stuart Vevers seems to be bringing Loewe up to speed, albeit via an old Hollywood elegance. Spring had the feeling of a 1950s debutante on her European tour, her steamer packed with boxy tops, trim skirts and day dresses in cheerful hues.


Christian Dior





If the bangs, red lips and spirit of coquetry didn't tip you off, John Galliano's spring muse at Dior was Bettie Page. That is, Bettie Page starring in South Pacific. Either way, he took his audience on a terrific voyage.

Nina Ricci





Nina Ricci has been in flux and designer Peter Copping wanted to bring it back to its root. To wit, he combed the archives for inspiration. What came of it was a hyper-femininity meant for a modern woman.


Balmain





You have to love that Christophe Decarnin is 100% devoted to his super sexy, kinda tough rock chick. She remains his muse for spring at Balmain, this time with a little bit of Americana thrown in.
Balenciaga





It was a given that Nicolas Ghesquière would do something different from the rest of the fashion pack...when does he not? For spring, he played into that tough, futuristic babe he loves so much and added in a rocker vibe. 

Dries Van Noten





As the French would say, Le Swoon. It's a rare and delightful fashion feat when a designer hits all the right notes — being on trend, being commercial, and being true to his own aesthetic. For Dries van Noten, being all that is just another day at the office. Case in point: spring.

Bisous Bisous
