Atelier Versace Fall 2009

Let's cleanse the palate with something fabulous, shall we?

We've been waiting with anticipation for this collection. We had already seen January Jones at the Emmys in one of the pieces from the collection, another was featured in the recent Tim Burton-inspired Harper's Bazaar editorial, and still others were featured in that Vogue Italia editorial from a while back, so we were primed for this one and we weren't disappointed.

We really hope some of the stylists and starlets take a good close look at this collection because most of these looks are the kinds of things we'd like to see on the red carpet going forward. Owing to the glut of red carpet commentary out there, most of the entertainment industry is too scared to take a risk and we couldn't be more bored with the endless array of high-end prom dresses that seem to clog up the red carpet every awards season. Take some risks, starlets! These pieces are uniquely gorgeous; textural and architectural, loaded with interesting shapes and silhouettes.

Do we love every single piece? Almost. There's that one dress that looks like it's being attacked by hedge hogs, and some of the pieces are so architectural that they border on unwearable, but one thing's for sure: the woman that wears anything from this collection is sure to be the most noticed and talked-about woman in the room. And isn't that what high fashion is all about?

Atelier Versace Spring 2009

Darlings, there just isn't enough pretty on this blog (besides us). Let's end the week with some eye candy, shall we?

Instead of just presenting a collection, we thought it would be interesting to show the original sketches with their notes alongside the finished product. Lorenzo is obsessed with fashion sketches and if Tom didn't put his foot down, the walls of our home would be overrun with them. When he looks at these sketches Lorenzo is reminded of Loïc Prigent's fabulous documentary Signé Chanel, which traces the evolution of the Chanel fall 2004 haute couture collection from sketches by Karl Lagerfeld right through the fashion show and selling to customers, specifically the scenes where the seamtresses struggle to read his notes and realize the designer's vision.

Enjoy!
