Celebrate spring English garden style. Each this time of year blossoms begin to emerge from their winter sleep and you have an urge to trade in your long pants and boots for something more carefree and pretty. This season’s trend encompasses gardening abound, think floral Liberty ditzy prints and oversized Bold blossom inspired graphics.

It must be a great challenge to take a house built on bags to a runway level, but Marc Jacobs proves he can do it, and quite effortlessly; or at least it seems! 
The Louis Vuitton fall/winter 2009 collection was certainly an upscale ode to the eighties, but done in a way that it didn’t feel old and already done before. Marc has certainly referenced the eighties quite a bit, more recently is his namesake labels this season, but for some reason, the Louis Vuitton collection tended to look more ahead, instead of behind. The necklaces, reminiscent of stapling construction paper into interlocking loops to hang around the Christmas tree, were just splendid, and the boots were an on-trend indication of what is too come, as far as new heights and details, in footwear.
And, lest I forget the headpieces – wonderful exaggerations of bows, or as I’d like to call them, batwings. My two favorite looks were the “Emerald City” tiered dress, practically straight out of Oz, and the amazingly draped, twisted, and knotted grey dress. Kudos Marc – you’ve done it once again (as if we had any doubt).

It’s really incredible to see how classics can be reworked and reworked and reworked at Chanel. I really have to hand it to Karl Lagerfeld; he has done for Chanel what any storied fashion house would want — been able to attract new generations of customers. I absolutely love this cream heavily layered sweaterdress, but equeally so, the handbag & must-have enclosure bag is simply pure genius. It’s such a fun concept playing off on the idea how the Chanel quilted bag is an essentail every lady must have. I would be curious to see if any of these pop up come next fashion week – I sure hope so!
