Miss Sixty Fall 2009

highsnobette-miss sixty f 09

It’s not easy to make acid wash jeans look sexy but Miss Sixty made it happen. A definite throwback to the late ’80s, early ’90s, Fall 2009 at Miss Sixty was all about rock n roll cool.  Shoulder pads, mini skirts, and leather booty shorts slammed with zippers floated down the runway. The standout was the super tiny baby doll dress in a satin print loaded with ruffles, fishnets and white booties kept it from feeling overly girl and gave it the edge that Fall at Miss Sixty was all about.

Shoe Lust: Prada Fall 2009

highnobette-prada f 09

What can I really say about these that they don’t already say for themselves? Ruffled fringe like leather pieces studded and in dainty pink, brilliant red, and  mustard yellow?? What’s not to love? I’m particularly obsessed with the pink color, something about the delicate girlie girl pink with all those studs and the mixture of velvet has got me drooling. I spotted these on the Prada Fall 2009 runway which featured a number of accessories worth stalking.

Maison Martin Margiela Bracelet: Tough Rhinestones

maisonmartinmargielaelux1 Maison Martin Margiela Bracelet: Tough Rhinestones

Love how this Maison Martin Margiela bracelet combines the heavy link chain with flashy and feminine rhinestones. It’s available at ELuxury for $250. My one issue is the materials versus the price, which don’t match up as far as I’m concerned.

Spotted at NotCouture.

Liberty is known for delicate color palettes and floral prints, this mixed with Nike’s clean aesthetic is sure to gain some attention.

Mary Katrantzou: Graphic Stunner!

marykatrantzou Mary Katrantzou:  Graphic Stunner!

Never heard of her before, but I’m amazed by designer Mary Katrantzou’s graphic work. Her Spring/Summer ‘09 collection, according to her website, is inspired by early ’70s references and the prints are described as “trompe l’oeil digital prints of oversized jewelry on bonded jersey dresses.” The collection includes real accessories as well. Again we see a reference to the blurring of fantasy and reality (see post on artist Jasper Goodall’s “Poster Girl” collection).

Manish Arora Autumn/Winter 2009

m1 Manish Arora Autumn/Winter 2009

I have to thank the British fashion press for at least being the closest to representing fashion on a global scale and featuring our beloved Manish Arora. Fashion media just really peeves me sometimes. Please explain  why I cannot find any images of  a Manish Arora  runway on Style or French Vogue  if he shows during Paris fashion week?

Anyway, Manish Arora’s theme for Autumn ‘09 was a mix of the Indian and African jungles and the animals who inhabit them . He opened his show with an African dancer who gave way to models sporting  Raphael Young  gold shoes. The apparel, which showcased Aroras’ great  skill of using prints, colors and of course beading, was if anything visually inspiring and stimulating. The show closed with Angela Lindvall wearing a dress with moving petals!
