Designer Spotlight: Christopher Kane and Christopher Bailey

Christopher Kane is definitely making a name for himself in the fashion world. With focuses like nuclear bombs and nebular explosions for his vivid textiles, his clothes are colorful, beautiful and somehow still simple. On the other hand,everyone and their mother knows about Burberry Prorsum and the little genius behind it all known as Christopher Bailey. Season after season he stuns us with his classic London looks and his ever refreshing take on the trench. After reviewing the the pre-collection from these tippity top English designers we couldn't help but comment on the biggest contrast in London fashion week. The contrast between the two Christopers can be seen in everything from color and cut to fabric and styling. So, now that you've heard the low down think you can guess whose collection is whose?

There's really no sight more beautiful than a boy in a fedora, is there? Well, actually, maybe a boy in cuffed pants, a denim button down and a fedora could win that race. Wait a mintue, we think that maybe a boy in cuffed pants, a denim button down, a fedora, a cool expression and an adorable girlfriend who wears cardigans and has a tattoo could be the top prize winner. Hmm, well now that we think about it maybe a boy in a fedora...

well you get the idea.

Roksanda Ilincic's 2011 Resort Pre-Collection Preview

Roksana Ilincic's Resort 2011 collection is, in our eyes, perfection. We love dresses, and we love color, and this collection seems to have a lot of both. The fun belts keep these dresses from being too shapeless, yet the voluminous skirts and lighter fabrics keep it comfortable for summer. Normally we use summer as an occasion to go all out on color, but we're even huge fans of her black and white dresses (shown above) - asymmetry is back and it's hotter than ever.

What are your favorite Resort 2011 collections?
Bisous,

We ran into this adorable Irish exchange student on our stay in Vancouver (like I said earlier, Vancouver is a ridiculously cosmopolitan city). She seemed a little shy to take a picture, which is pretty normal, because most people assume that what they're not stylish enough to be on a fashion blog (I can't tell you how many 'WHAT? you want to take a picture of ME for your fashion blog?' I get...). In addition, she had stayed out all night partying, so her make up was a bit smudged, but we're totally into that grunge look anyways. We love how she transformed her LBD into a day-time appropriate outfit by throwing on a scarf (again, the beauty of scarves!) and that cuuute chapeau. Totally versatile and travel friendly.
