Okay, so I made this topic because I love Fashion Week.

And I thought this would be a good place to discuss it. (The models, designers, clothes, or just general information about it.)

But, Yeah, so New York Fashion Week ended last night. (It started on the 7th) And today London Fashion Week just launched. I'm so excited!

I've already seen some images and stuff from the Bora Asku show.

Paris FW starts on the 27th. & Milan FW starts on the 21st. Even though I'm British, I should love London FW the most. But for me, Paris is always the best.

I guess this can also be kind of like a Model ID section too. For models who've done Fashion Week? I don't know. The topic might not even be popular, but oh well.

Bora Asku | SS12 | London - (First show to start off LFW SS12) The show started @ 1pm UK Time. Which was exactly one hour and 24 minutes ago, and pictures are online already.

Good thread! I want to post my favorite new faces once fashion week is over. I've been hoping someone would start a topic like this

As for collections I remember liking Carolina Herrera but I will have to look back at the other ones..

I've always liked it, but been ashamed of my lack of knowledge . I was going to move it to the fashion shows section, but I guess it can stay here since its general discussion .

I think NYFW was terrible, the only collections i liked are Carolina Herrera, Michael Kors, Oscar de la Renta & Ralph Lauren because even Marchesa was fugly this season

London is kind of meh to me haha, but im excited for Milan & especially Paris

You should keep track of this thread then, Joe.

Nothing wrong with London FW. :persuazn:

Just kidding, but yes. Paris & Milan. NY Fashion week was 'Eh'.

I quite liked the prints at Altuzarra and Theyskens' Theory was pretty good too.

I'm looking forward to Christopher Kane, Acne, Erdem and Marios Schwab at LFW, but it's nothing compared to Paris and Milan!

Oooh, fun thread! I'm also crazy for Fashion Week.

Actually, I thought the casting in NY this season was very unpredictable which is not a bad thing at all.

Though there were some bad collections, well let me share my Top 3 of bad collections in New York:

1. Michael Kors :x - These brown/ sandy colours and very weird shaped outfits. Man!

2. Anna Sui - The make-up & hair was very pretty but the clothes? Like a little girl made them.

3. Rag & Bone - I usually like their collections but this time it was pretty ridiculous. Not wearable at all and some pieces were just ugly.

(I didn't like Derek Lam, too.)

My favorite collections of NY:

Calvin Klein

(+ Alexander Wang, Altuzarra, Marchesa & Marc Jacobs)

^ Excellent list, Squeege. And you're right about Anna Sui. I'm generally a fan of her free, hippie ways in most of her collections, but this season she was just all over the place. Too Betsey Johnson for me, and I'm not a big fan of Betsey. :x Also, I'd add that Herve Leger was pretty bad this season. I'm usually a fan of their stuff, but this season ... I think it was the fugly boots at the show. And BCBG was another one that was just... bad. And weird. And for as much as I loved Donna Karan, DKNY wasn't great either.

Here's my list of some of my favorites:

Rodarte

^ Amazing taste, guys!

Ooh, I totally forgot about Marc by Marc Jacobs, I loved that one too!

I so agree about Anna Sui, this collection was just too terrible, almost painful to watch ... The clothes were terrible, the hairstyle, the make up, it was just too wrong

London Fashion Week!

^ I can't decide whether I liked this collection or not... I have a feeling those dresses with the sheer mesh skirt (seen at Marios Schwab, Prabal Gurung, Julien McDonald etc.) are the latest craze.

What do you guys think about LFW so far?

Milan FW starts tomorrow! Who's excited?

ME! Looks like a lot of models i like will be walking which always helps the cause haha & some great designers show at Milan so im really excited

Normally Milan is my favorite city of the 4 because I really like a lot of fashion houses there. Anyway, is it just me or was the collection at Gucci pretty ugly?

Oh and I have to say that I didn't like many shows in London this season but the one show that I really loved was Richard Nicoll :

Milan FW has started!

I actually like this collection.

Paola Frani:

Milan wasn't that great this time in my opinion. Going to post some favorites though.

One collection I really liked was Jil Sander

I did like Alberta Ferretti, too.
