Luella
While Milan is happening I´m going to keep telling you my favourites. I posted about her when she was named best designer of the year and now it is her AW09 collection. It may be because she was a fashion journalist and then became a designer (exactly what I would like to do!) that I feel so attracted to her and her work. Luella Bartley presented a black-based collection, with slight london punk details. Everything really wearable like most of what is shown in London. Here is a selection of pictures, after taking a look you´ll probably understand why I like it soooo much.
El vestido de la primera de las fotos de encima es increible / The dress in the first of the pictures above is to die for.

Graeme Black
Pues estaba yo viendo detalladamente cada desfile de la Semana de la Moda de Londres cuando descubri una maravilla. Graeme Black, anteriormente diseñador de Ferragamo en su segunda coleccion independiente.
Because I´m pretty busy writting essays and preparing presentations I´m going to keep my thoughts about NYFW for myself and do straigh to London. Have I ever told you that LOndon is maybe my favourite fashion week? Of course Paris shines with a different light, especially because of Balmain and Lanvin, my latest obssesions, Cibeles is interesting because it shows the development of Spanish Fashion in the last years, I´m sorry to say that Milan bores me quite a lot and New York....just see how the city is all about Fashion Week in those days and everything is said.
So, there I was, watching every picture of every catwalk of London Fashion Week when I discovered an amazing thing. Graeme Black, former Ferragamo designer with his second independent collection.
Inspirada en el Museo de de Ciencias Naturales de Londres, la coleccion evoluciona desde formas femeninas y "cocoon" a estampados minerales. Me encanta el volumen en las caderas y la cintura ceñida, me gustan los tonos, me gustan los abrigos y me gustan los materiales!
Inspired in the London Natural History Museum , the clothes evolve from feminine shapes and cocoon shapes to mineral prints. I like the volume n the hips with the narrow waists, I like the colours, I like the coat and I like the materials!

Trouser-mania...
After some seasons with dresses all over the place, the trouser comes back tu claim a main position in our closets. New shapes, mainly masculine and loose, appear but don´t worry, if were lucky enough to find the perfect pair of skinnies (the only accepted trousers thanks to the success of the leggings) you can still use them because this spring if you are wearing trousers you are being fashionable.
Pantalones pitillo o leggins, ponibles y utiles.
Leggins or skinnies, wearable and useful.
The jumpsuit comes back from the 70’s and 80’s. They were a trend this winter and the same for spring. In the High Street Topshop has the biggest variety, take a look in stores or on www.topshop.com, long, short, printed fabrics…

Pantalones anchisimos en muchas colecciones. Toman el protagonismo con partes de arriba sencillas.
Really loose trousers in a lot of collections. They are the main thing in the look so wear them with basic tops.
Arriba (Above): Louis Vuitton - Oscar de la renta - Vivienne Westwood Red Label
Pantalones de cintura alta y con pinzas muy masculinos. Muchos tipo harem con volumen en las caderas (no pongo foto porque estoy cansada de verlos en todos lados) y en general pantalones tobilleros, asi que a remangarse todas.
High-waisted and pleated trousers in very masculine looks. A lot of harem-type (no picture because they are everywhere and although I like them I´m kind of bored of them) with volume in the hips and a lot of peg leg, most of them ankle-long, so roll-up everybody!!

I wont post in some days due to a trip I´m doing but I promise shoes and colours when I come back and the compulsory summary of NY Fashion Week that starts tomorrow. Enjoy!!

Give me a full skirt, and you have my heart!!
The trendiest thing this winter are full high-waisted skirts, the shorter the better. It seems the same is going on this spring, with minimum alters. Of course there are always designers that surprise their public with innovations.

I love 80's
Me gustan los 80 desde siempre. Me gusta la mezcla de estampados, el maquillaje marcado, los peinados imposibles...pero sobre todo me gusta la silueta, la ausencia total de miedo a dar forma a los hombros y ceñir la cintura al maximo o utilizar prendas oversized encima de leggins o pitillos. Por eso, cuando por fin en los desfiles de primavera verano 2009 vi la importancia que muchos diseñadores daban a los hombros me ilusione, aun mas de lo normal, con el sueño de una nueva temporada.
Otros han llevado la tendencia a elegantes extremos adaptando prendas del dia a dia (como las chaquetas militares de Balmain) o dando personalidad a vestidos y blusas.
Other designers have taken the trend further to every-day clothes (like the military jackets in Balmain) or using it to give some personality to dresses and blouses.
