I have to say that I love how sheer combos are popping up everywhere on the runways. These hairy ensembles look like fun to wear, and I could only imagine the fun Riccardo Tisci had inventing them!

Missoni
This collection just hit the spot for me. Boheian nomad? Why not?? The colours are so soft and inviting - even the blacks are muted. Nothing presented in this show is simply a color, but are all different degrees of hue saturation. The blush pinks, chocolates, taupes, creames, apricots, soft cobalt and cornflower blues... The beautiful silk dresses give such a nice contrast to the wools and cashmeres, and the leaf prints are the perfect development from the summer florals we might not be ready to let go of just yet. Even the shoes were covered in knit patterns or given a little collar of their own! I loved how the floor-length scarves flipped out when the girls walked, giving just the right degree of movement to what could haven been a very heavy and stifling way to layer. This collection is what fall is supposed to be: warm, cozy, and still holding on to summer. Wear the cute slip dress out the night before, and the morning after just layer on a scarf (or two, or three...), your grandpas tweed coat, and some comfy leggings for your morning coffee and dogwalk.
Forget about the harsh blacks that so many designers offer up season after season - Angela Missoni hit all the right notes with this carefree collection.

Stella McCartney
Stella McCartney's Fall Winter 2009 collection was a sophisticated little peep show with sheer and lacy pieces that revealed just enough to keep you wanting more. On the other end of the spectrum, the furry coats just hint at the shapes underneath. Then somewhere in the middle are the perfectly slouchy-yet-tailored blazers that cover and still flatter. Although this blazer-and-skinnies look is nothing new, Stella executes it with precise tailoring, fabulous materials, and just the right degree of nonchalance that keeps the piece coming back without looking tired.
This neon blue moto jacket reminds me of the lovely ladies over at Neon Hearts Club. Bisous!
