  2. GivenchyThere's a rewarding feeling that Ricardo Tisci is teetering on the cusp of the next echelon of his career. For fall, he delivered one of the most succinctly crafted and directional collections of the season. Consciously marrying his natural tangents into the dark side with the house's history of frill, he swept the fashion collective into the hauntingly alluring web he weaves so well. And with Carine Roitfeld spotted trotting around Paris in one of the studded nautical jackets, it's likely to be one tightly-paced, albeit more than willingly, ensnarement.1. PradaFor a woman whose first language is not English, ...

  4. Dries Van NotenIt's no small feat amalgamating the high school jock, the art student, and the valedictorian into a cohesive, let alone desirable, look. It's an aesthetic that no one owns as strongly - or does as well - as Dries Van Noten. This season, he married texture - quilted nylon, embroidered satin -with Asian prints. It' a look that challenges social stereotypes as much as ideals of beauty. Brilliant.3. Marc Jacobs A collection strewn from left field is not necessarily a recipe for success. That is, of course, unless it has the panache to alter the lens through ...

  7. MarniOwning a look as conspicuous as that of Marni, it's easy for designers to adopt complacency as their rhetoric. Consuelo Castiglioni is not one of those designers. Picking up on our current fascination with innovative fabrics, she delivered a true to Marni collection that was distinctly modern. Her slouchy wool trousers and printed satin sheaths brand the day-to-night dilemma largely obsolete.6. Burberry Prorsum "You can have dirty sex, but you don't talk about it". Considering fall's aggressively sexed-up fall show, Bailey's words never seem more appropriate. This collection saw the Burberry woman delve into her darker side, via thigh-high ...

  10. Proenza Schouler After all the shiny plastic, interlocking accoutrements dished up at the spring shows, fall marked a return to sophistication and grown-up tailoring for the New York-based duo. The cloche hats and red lips were precisely on the pulse of the renaissance of glamour, while the pairing of contrasting textures and the bevy of pleated jewel coloured dresses were amongst the season's most beautifully executed.9. Christian Dior For Christian Dior, Galliano offered up a collection that, at least for me, recalled Tootsie-Rolls: nostalgic and oh-so-sweet. Showing one of this season's most directional silhouettes - shawl-collared, voluminous-sleeved, and nipped ...
