Gucci

I just love Gucci! But I couldn't help but remember The Aviator and Kara Saun in this particular collection...didn't Michael Kors make a comment during the season ender on how her designs reminded him of Gucci, especially with the horsebits she used?






With the leather and furs especially...

Bottega Veneta

These 2 were all I liked.



And its not even because of the dress, but the necklaces piled on! Gorgeous!


Good thing. I'd rather aspire for the bags!!!

Etro

Remember, its pronounced "ay-tro"!

Now on to the good stuff! Let me tell you a story:

Once upon a time, there was a little rich girl who loved books above all things. Because Daddy made loads of money in finance, shipping and real estate, she could do as she pleased. But instead of partying with Mother's friends' kids, she would wrap her cashmere blanket around her tiny shoulders and lose herself in Daddy's vast library. She knew deep in her heart that all she wanted was to be a librarian and be surrounded by books. Good thing Mother was good friends with Nan Kempner and Mica Ertegun, who would pop in constantly to buss her cheek. It also helped that older sister Byrdie had loads of Vogue magazines from all over the world piled on what used to be Empress Josephine's gilded armchair...

Veronica Etro's designs inspired me to write a story about the sort of woman who would wear her clothes: a librarian, the classy, sensual, stylish type if there ever was one!

Alberta Ferretti

You know I love Alberta Ferretti. Let her clothes explain why:

The cropped jackets are very Jackie O:



The dresses are amazing:








The slim pants are very Audrey H:



Her coats are simply gorgeous!!!




And I just love a ribbon neck top!

Burberry Prorsum

Christopher Bailey continues Burberry's tradition of innovation and design excellence, and takes the brand charging forward like the Equestrian Knight that is their trademark.



This quintessentially British brand, well known for its classic trench coat with the distinctive plaid inner lining, has gone edgy for A/W 2007-2008.














For sure, the young and the hip will find great objects of desire from this collection!
