Dutch designer Iris van Herpen took her ss 2010 collection to London and created a serious buzz. The ten creations of ‘Radiation Invasion’ were all made by hand and luxury departments store Harrods announced an exhibition of her work. Vogue, Dazed & Confused and Vanity Fair were all speechless. Some even said it was the most beautiful show of all London Fashion Week. We can only say: we regret we were not there and we are very very proud of Iris. You go girl!

The Art of Fashion & Peter Stigter
The fading boundaries between art and fashion were the starting point for the Art of Fashion exhibition in museum Boymans van Beuningen in Rotterdam, Five international designers were asked to design an item for this exhibition in which art and fashion were brought together. Although fashion sometimes seems superficial, it is more than wearing the right colour or skirt length. Fashion is a reflection of society and times we’re living in. Fashion is nowadays often even a form of art, and they both influence each other.
Viktor & Rolf, Naomi Filmer, Hussein Chalayan, Walter van Beirendonck and Anna-Nicole Ziesche all put the idea of a wearable collection aside, used their imagination and came up with various designs. These five designers were chosen because they all were already exploring the boundaries of fashion in their own designs. Viktor & Rolf, for example, used a model wearing her own light and music installation for their a/w 07-08 fashion show. According to Jose Teunissen, the conservator, this particular design is a perfect example and therefore iconic for the whole exhibition. That’s also the reason why the museum decided to use Peter Stigter’s catwalkimage of this particular model to promote the Art of Fashion exhibition in the Netherlands. (Tess van Daelen)
The Art of Fashion, from 19/09/09 – 10-01-10 at Booijmans van Beuningen Museum Rotterdam.
Ralph Lauren Catwalk Fashion Show SS10

The Great Recession we’re all living through got Ralph Lauren thinking about the American power to deal with problems. He was inspired by the character of the worker, the farmer, the cowboy, the pioneer women of the prairies. Models in newsboy caps wore faded and torn oversized jeans with blue work shirts, patchwork overalls, and nightshirts in stripes, or sweet flowerprint dresses with white ankle socks and heels. It was cinematic, like most of Lauren’s collections. And it goes without saying that his vision is a romanticized one.

Proenza Schouler Catwalk Fashion Show SS10

They wanted something young and fresh, so the guys from Proenza Schouler looked to surfing and skating, the things they grew up on. They took the notion of track jackets wrapped around waists and built those elements right into tank dresses and shirtdresses, and they teamed a pair of color-blocked track pants with a great tailored jacket for a sporty-chic effect. It’s the sort of nonchalant look a lot of designers are looking for, and these guys nailed it perfectly. For evening, the silhouette was short, short, short. A few of the cocktail numbers featured the bra-cup bodies the duo has made their signature, mixed with tiers of micro ruffles. Other dresses floated away from the body. The models wore wedge-heel woven sandals as colorful as the clothes.
Oscar de la Renta Catwalk Fashion Show SS10
It was not Oscar the la Renta’s best show, but there were still more than enough rich details to go around as if we’re not in the middle of a crisis. There was a lot of color too. A vibrant safari suit updated with wide sleeves and cropped pants, a smart silk dress with a draped neckline in pale melon, and a bronze linen trench with pushed-up sleeves stood out among white broderie anglaise and creamy tweeds.
