WWD posted an article today entitled the Top Ten Collections of Fall 2010. Normally I’d say its too early to do something like this (or too late.) Either you do it straight after the shows, or you wait and see how these collections look once they are shot in editorials, they are in the retail spaces, and how they look in their advertising campaigns. But when I had a look at this list, without analyzing too deeply, I had to admit that they had compiled a very comprehensive list.
What’s sad of course is that all of the brands are very well-known, established brands, and there are no real newcomers on the list (unless you count Celine as a newcomer, who is more like a “returning” brand.) Someone should do a list of “Best Fall 2010 Collections from brands less than ten years old.” Anyway, here’s their list:
Well, maybe Christian Dior and Chanel were not SO deserving this season, but if you are a major publication, you probably can’t leave them out. Also, I feel that Louis Vuitton should have been on this list. Here are two of my favourite images from each of these collections.
Balenciaga Fall Winter 2010: I love the uncomfortable colour combinations in the knits.
Balenciaga Fall Winter 2010: Beautiful deconstructed tailoring.
