Marc Jacobs ss 2011 Resort Collection.
Just as we start to figure out the a/w 2010 must haves, the fast moving world of fashion is allready miles ahead of us. The autumn has not yet begun, but the fall fashion is soon becoming yesterday news, as the s/s 2011 is stealing all the glamour. The everchanging world of fashion sometimes can make you feel like you have hit the shuffle button a bit too many times. Living in the present is by far not the correct thing to do, as everything is about whats going to happen in the future (that is repeating the past in fashion curricula, e.g we are doing the 50's right now).
LFW is coming to an end, and the fashion royalty has fled to Milan to check out the Italian fashion week. New York opened the circus, and Paris is going to finnish it.
Are you one of the happy few who are going to the London Fashion Weekend? LFWeekend is an event open to us commoners, which allows us, by a fee of course, to shop designer items at reduced prices, zip champagne, and enjoy a 30 minute runway show. After the fashion royalty has gorged in fashion for days, it is finally your turn to enjoy the glamour, and it really makes you feel like you are a part of the fashionista gang. I am sad to say though that I am not going this year, as my agenda is a bit too packed. However, I promise to shop double quota next year.
So what trends are we looking at for s/s 2011? From what I have seen it is a mixture of patterns and colours, and I suspect that after this seasons classy and pure look it will lean towards two directions. Some will choose to continue with that purity, other will try to "fun" it up and give the coming summer a real attitude.
It was snakeskin, silver and studs at Burberry Prorsum, all black/white and monochrome at John Rocha and florals, butterflies and Art Nouveau inspired at Erdem.
My personal favourite so far was the Marc Jacobs New York show.
He had made a wonderful collection oozing of 70's glam and disco, where colours such as fuchsia, pink and purple played a leading role. Think oversized sunglasses, big hats and the sort of style and glamour that sends your thoughts dreamily away to the French Riviera. The garments consisted of silk and organza, and spanned from the shiny heavy dresses to supersoft floating veils. I loved it.

I am considering ways to incorporate the look into my now so outdated summer wardrobe (bye,bye nautical stripes) and the tickets for Cannes in July are allready booked. I do wonder though, is pink the new black next season?
But you know what? It is so much nicer to live in the present, so pink aside, lets enjoy the autumn fashion for a little bit longer. We will have enough time to drowl over the spring look in February, while the fashion royalty is moving on to a/w 2011.
