Sarah Burton for Alexander Mcqueen S/S 2011

It all happened when I was in Milan, all eyes were on Sarah Burton, as she brought on her first major Alexander Mcqueen show during the Spring/Summer 2011 Paris Fashion Week. Big shoes to fit indeed, but we couldn't agree more with PPR's decision in appointing the late designer's right hand woman to be the creative director of the distinct label.

When Burton first spoke about the then upcoming collection last month about being less "angsty" and "softer", I thought it was just a "disclaimer", in case it didn't "fit" into the taste of existing Mcqueen fans or the whole strategic expectations play. To be honest, I thought the collection was spectacular, reflecting Mcqueen's spirit and essence with bold statements and intricate structuring. The line showed how closely Burton and Mcqueen worked together and understood each other during the last 14 years.

Straw bustier, ostrich feathers, butterflies, trademark digital prints and woven hair, just the way the founder would have done it.

No matter how much I adore Dolce and Gabbana,

I have boycotted Sony Ericsson mobile phones since 22 September 2008.
But of course, you will probably love Jalou™. And if I were you, I will never coin this "Stunningly stylish"...

Matthew Williamson for H&M collection part 1 [Out in stores]

Matthew Williamson for H&M part 1 collection is out in stores now.

The British designer brought his signature vibrant-colored abstract flora prints into the collaboration. Beachy, relax, and peacock-inspired, the collection seemed very well put together with distinct style from the designer, setting apart from previous collaborations by V&R and Stella McCartney. Can't wait for part 2 to be out in May because Daria Werbowy just looks so hot in the yellow silk tunic (not spotted in the part 1 collection)

Matthew Williamson for H&M collection part 1 available via H&M.
