Normally the coming of spring fashion fills me with a sort of dreaded anticipation of gross pastels and obnoxious florals, but this season we were definetely spared. White seems to be the big color for Spring (I know, white is not a color, its a shade, but it sounds weird saying "White is the 'it' shade of Spring"), but I'm thankfully still seeing a lot of black and jewel-toned primary colors. These fluffy puffy white Chanel dresses are great, but when I see white clothes I picture myself spilling a huge cup of coffee all over myself and it makes me nervous.
Harper's Bazaar was pushing jewel-toned green as Spring's big color but I'm not seeing too much of it in this handy Vogue Italia Fashion Shows Spring/Summer 2010 catalog I've got sitting in front of me. Still, the green stuff they were showing in Bazaar was pretty.
But back to this Chanel collection! I love the full, short skirts, the cool patterns, and the sheer blacks. The red suit with the puffy sleeves is beautiful! I would also totally wear the white crocheted looking dress with the blue and red flowers. Sadly I could not find a picture of my favorite version of this dress, but its the one with the frill at the neckline on Katie Holmes's wedding dress. So if you want to buy me a present....
Apparently at the end of this show Lara Stone came out dressed up as a milkmaid and went for a literal roll in the hay with two other models. Sexy! Way to make the most of this down- home country setting Karl.
These Stephen Meisel Twitter spoof pictures from Italian Vogue Dec '09 are HILARIOUS! Aggy and Kristin were my favorites, and not just because they are both wearing outrageous leopard print ensembles. Kristin's made me seriously LOL, her face is priceless, and the little dog! Their captions are super funny too. To see the whole set of 23 pics go here:

How could I neglect my beloved Aggy for this long!? For those of you that don't know Agyness Deyn--born Laura Hollis in Manchester 26 years ago--is not only my favorite model, but quite possibly the world's favorite model. According to Wikipedia, she has been hailed as the "fashion industry's next great supermodel", and the evidence to back this up can be seen in the January Issue of Italian Vogue, Runway 2010. Aggy is all over this issue, sporting her cute new shaggy black hair.
Not only is Agyness a great model who changed her name and lied about her age to further her career (genius!), but she has GREAT personal style. Not afraid to be herself, Aggy is always a bit punky, and she really lets loose when she's off duty, often sporting just some shredded jeans and a band tee. She's not afraid to mix and match an ugly old sweater with some grandpa shoes and end up on the worst dressed list. I wish we were friends in real life. To honor her for her upcoming birthday on Feb 16, lets take a look back at some of Aggy's fabulous punky looks! (As well as some more classical ones, daaaaaang cover of Korean Vogue! Someone help me get a copy of this issue!)
