Winner of my favourite NYFW AW2010 collection goes to....

ANNA SUI!
Everybody give her a big round of applause:

Bless her. Anyway, yes out of all the collections I have been trawling through on Style.com since I got back from Spain (more on that in a post soon...) this one really stood out for me. Yes, it is the usual Sui use of clashing prints and textures put together to give a wonderfully bohemian look but if it is a formula which works so well, why change it?
Evidence of her amazingness here on Aggy Deyn and Abbey Lee Kershaw:


Finally I could not resist posting these killer Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte heels which I saw on Style Bubble...
These melted candle wax lace ups are simply inspired:
And is it weird that they remind me of this scene in the Wizard Of Oz when the Wicked Witch Of The West is melting?

ps) What was your favourite collection from last weeks NYFW?

pps) After Anna Sui in 1st place I would have to put Alexander Wang in 2nd and Oscar De La Renta in 3rd :D

Alexander McQueen ‘Alien’ Shoes

My initial reaction when I saw these Alexander McQueen shoes from his SS 2010 collection was “Woah.”
T
hen “Omg how did he make them and the models get their feet into them?”
And finally *shrugs* "Ok, well McQueen is a genius” but never for a second did I think “I must have though shoes in my life now. I want/need/have to have them.”
Sure if I stumbled across them in a shoe shop I would try them on for a laugh but I would never ever actually buy them.
Also I have no idea how much they cost but seeing as they are designer and the hottest heels to be seen in right now I am guessing they are just a teensy bit out of my budget.
So I am wondering who is actually going to buy them?
Apart from Lady Gaga who wore them in her ‘Bad Romance’ video and Daphe Guiness who was the first celebrity to wear them on the red carpet I can’t think of anyone who would seriously buy these insane (yet undeniably brilliant) shoes.

What do you think? If you had that much money would you buy them?
