Akris A/W 10 Campaign - Daphne Guinness by Steven Klein

I think this is verging on being too sterile for a brand that is famous for being understated.
These are clothes that are worn by real people - they aren't just unwearable pieces of art like Calvin Klein - they need to be set in more natural situations to make them feel less icy. It's getting there, but Daphne Guiness creatively sat on a stool with a severe haircut and a matte-finish face does not make me want Akris.

Jonathan Saunders S/S 2011

Subtle summer layering of printed block colour stripes with hazy borders matched with beautiful white silk organza overlay and underlay. Gathered skirts all sat on the natural waistline and ranged from short and quite above the knee to a below-knee dress in a grey-nude made less sober by it's transparency.
Kimono sleeved jackets with tightly belted waists worn with short shorts recounted Dell'Acqua circa 2008, but were bang on trend, while pleated micro-skirts provided the advent to a more obviously sexy Jonathan Saunders in high-gloss black satin and PVC, which somehow retained the elegance of the previous pieces.
Though this may not be my favourite collection of the season, Jonathan Saunders provides a relevant wardrobe for spring and excels with his typical use of colour and print applied to some of the most beautiful and wearable dresses at fashion week.
