Look Back - Sonia Rykiel Spring/Summer 2009 RTW

This collection is always in my mind. Whenever I think of Sonia Rykiel this is what I think of, so for this edition of 'Look Back' I will be looking at the Sonia Rykiel Spring/Summer 2009 RTW

Designer: Sonia Rykiel

My Top Four Looks From The Collection:

 

(Snejana Onopka & Natasha Poly)

 

(Lera Sheremata & Bette Franke)

This collection featured plenty of Rykiel's signatures like cardigans, and sweater dresses which were great, I also loved the pop-art daisy-print chiffon used for the seventies style dresses, but what really made this show great for me was the models. I liked the way they sashayed down the runway and the little procession they had at the end. It was so cute and fun and made the show memorable. Here is the full show. Enjoy!!!

Look Back - Versace Spring/Summer 2009 RTW

Seeing the Versace Atelier Haute Couture show made me think about a certain Versace collection that I really like. So for this edition of 'Look Back' we will be viewing the Versace Spring/Summer 2009 RTW collection.

Designer: Donatella Versace

My Top Four Looks From The Collection:

 

(Natasha Poly & Kasia Struss)

 

(Kasia Struss & Zuzana Gregorova)

This collection was beautiful. I think what really got to me was that I was so used to seeing very sexy and over the top from Versace, that it was nice to see a collection that was cute and simple in comparison to other Versace collections. The 3-D heart shape formed by an open zipper was a really nice touch and added that extra special something to some of the plainer dresses. (I actually started calling it the heart collection because of that zipper) I also really liked the colours that were used and the slick back hair on the models completed the looks very nicely. Here is the full show. Enjoy!!!

Here is another model that has amazing cheekbones. But the things I like the most about Natasha is her ability to transform, whenever I see a picture of Natasha I am shocked by how she manages to look so different it sometimes takes me a minute to realize it’s her. Also her runway walk is something else. I love love love her walk it has to be one of my favourite. Every time I see her coming down the runway I can’t help to bop my head along to her walk (hope that makes sense). There is so much attitude and power in her walk I love watching her come down the runway.

The first  time I really took notice of Natasha was on the runway, her walk blew me away. But the editorial that I recently saw which inspired this post was the Numéro 'Couture by Night' editorial. This editorial was so beautiful and it featured male model Baptiste Giabiconi. I love the concept of this shoot and Natasha looked stunning. Also she brings something different to every shot, she is so effortlessly elegant.
