Regarded by many as the best show of the season, Karl Lagerfeld surely had an outing of frou and froth amid a lavish set of a garden, complete with three large fountains.The root of the inspiration was derived from the film Last Year at Marienbad, a film that Coco Chanel herself had created costumes for. While the 80-person orchestra played contemporary ditties, the clothes harked back to Chanel signatures of yore, sculpted anew with slimmer silhouettes and subversive detailing such as ostentatious fringe, holes, and revealing sheerness paired up with cut out shapes. The major message to walk away with from this collection is that while Lagerfeld adheres to the chiffon, black, and tweed signatures, he somehow manages to breathe new life into a line that boasted over 80 models and looks for Spring 2011.

Giles
One word that will never be used to describe Giles Deacon’s Spring 2011 clothes is monochromatic. Patterns and prints like wild hibiscuses and 90s polka dots were in full effect, a tribute to London club spot the Milk Bar and its eclectic clientele. Most notable were the punchy knits by Sid Bryan. Bright pink and orange accented patterns were quite reminiscent of an Atari video game. With color, knits, and clean lines, there was great texture and dimension to Deacon’s already happily overflowing cup.
Vivienne Westwood Red Label
The radical was alive and kicking at Vivienne Westwood’s Red Label show. With political paraphernalia about an organization that represents death row and Guantanamo Bay inmates, and heart necklaces made to raise funds for the organization, Westwood’s politics seemed like a far cry from the easy, drapey dresses and relaxed plaids and stripes. Yet, the juxtaposition was just like those opposites attracting: this is what the privileged, dainty girl wears when she abandons her bourgeois roots to go out and save the world. Viva la revolución!
Jaeger London
There’s something to be said for clean, classic lines on wardrobe staples that Stuart Stockdale presented for spring 2011. It was a merging of two art worlds, fashion and actual art, as the designer said he was inspired by abstract artist Robyn Denny and the sculptor Rachel Whiteread. This was clearly evident in the incomparable form and structure, and the stark black and white palette with exclamations of blue, olive green, and peachy pink. From the corporate style maven to the elegant party girl, Jaeger London represented them all this season.
