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.

Burberry Prorsum, I am on my knees.

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.

Light and heavy poise.

Matthew Williamson Pre-Fall 2009 Reflection.

Jewelled colour, ripe at the mouth of the eye.

Fresh falls of a silvered pattern, under canted vests and along lazy thighs.

Of an Autumn tale.

Chloé Pre-Fall 2009 Reflection.

She was transcendental, lost and wayward.

A quiet strength, a burnt leaf upon the sand.

Cold desert wind curling its fingers into her hair,

its palms brushing across her vacant eyes -

No damsel so tragic as she drowned.

Another belle endangered,

by her own contorting soul.
