The dessert of the fashion world.

Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2009 Reflection.

Decadent, saccarine and otherworldly in its extravagance, Alexander McQueen is the creme de la creme of the fashion industry. It is not unlike your dessert; the other meals may be enjoyable, but in your heart, you really desire to jump straight to it.

Unfailing in its design mission, the line seasonally exhibits extraordinary pieces of almost alien beauty, sweetened by a constant haute-couture quality that distinguishes Alexander McQueen's collections as works of art.
Why settle for a drab entrée when you can experience these glacé wonders?

Sunflower seeds and organza.

Vera Wang Pre-Fall 2009 Reflection.

She wears a halo of autumn,
her skin warm against the cooling winds.
Knitted contentment in the dusk light,
illuminating organza petals.

The Architect.

Burberry Prorsum Pre-Fall 2009 Reflection.

Dark, composed structure. Stunning lines and seamless beauty. A collection that allures my aesthete-soul at the cellular level.

Of wine.

Reem Acra Pre-Fall 2009 Reflection.

It is not a painful exercise to confess I am completely taken by Reem Acra's featured collection. With colours that seduce my aesthetic, cuts that cause my eyes to roam almost inappropriately along every fold of fabric and detailing that drugs the blood rushing through my art-soul, it is with confidence to say it is a well-balanced and seasoned collection - like true, fine wine.

Stone, wool and wisdom.

Givenchy Pre-Fall 2009 Reflection.

The following Givenchy collection provides a fine feast for the retinal mind with structure and weight, dominant, in the form and line of each look. Cool colour, material to warm - a welcome design binary that charms every 'Athena.'
Beauty found in the cut of a cloak, a thinned tie and temperance of old.
