Erdem
After curating the Victoria and Albert Museum’s “Diaghilev and the Golden Age of the Ballets Russes, 1909-1929“ exhibition, Erdem Moralioglu weaved the wispy ethereal nature of ballet costumes right through his collection. Fluid and supple as the movements of the dancers themselves, the lace appliqué and Macbethian red on mini dresses and billowing floral maxis will only ground the designer’s status as the crown prince of delicate details.

Burberry Prorsum
It’s an art to stray skillfully from the foundation of an established line while still having critics see the history and the connection. Christopher Bailey’s models were hardly the plaid-toting Charlotte Yorks that Thomas Burberry went on to acquire as a fan base. Studded biker pants and fitted jackets made for sexpot pieces that seemed stolen off the set of a 2011 remake of The Avengers. The turquoise belts and lime green bags brought the black pants and tan jackets to life. Color blocking just took on a whole new meaning.

Antonio Berardi
After seasons of body-conscious silhouettes, designer Antonio Berardi pumped up the volume – literally – on his Spring 2011 show and presented charming dresses that had a bit of an edge. Simple bell detailing on slightly voluminous 50s dresses and skirts had a dainty sweetness to them without being sickly sweet. Some unfinished hems brought the modern-fairy-tale quality a bit closer to earth, yet Berardi’s body con fans are never excluded. Elegant floor-length dresses with plunging necklines and daring slits will do the body good.

Last Friday I asked if you could tell which bag costs $2.250, and which is $40. Which one did you think was more costly?
The answer: bag #1 is the Fendi Peekaboo Large leather tote, $2.250, while bag #2 is the Ashton Oversized Satchel from Handbag Heaven, $40.76.
If you really really wanted the Fendi version but didn’t have two grand to spend, would you settle for handbag #2?
