Trussardi 1911--Fall 2011

More Trussardi--this time the Fall 2011 collection. All the leather...I'm not enjoying these pieces as a group as much as the Spring/Summer collection, but the luxuriously strong and romantic styling is there--that I enjoy. See more of the collection HERE on Fashionisto.

Tim Hamilton for Bergdorf Goodman

Designer Tim Hamilton collaborated with retailer Bergdorf Goodman on a collection to be offered by the retailer very soon. I enjoy Hamilton and this project is no exception. While quite simple--top, pants, boots--the cut, textures, and colors work to create a sense of strength in a minimalistic style. See more of the collection HERE on The Fashionisto
