Editor's comments: This collection was sporty and comfy, complete with oversized sweaters. For the more glam girl, there were python pants, splatter paint pieces and structured jeweled vests. Special blast from the past: Carmen Kass!

john galliano spring 2011
He's the king of theatrics and femininity. His use of the color wheel is otherworldly. He combines Geisha girl with silent movie starlette with Bozo the clown, effortlessly. His name is John Galliano, and I wish he could do my makeup everyday.
Elegant old Hollywood glamour combined with Japanese street style made up this collection. The vibrant colors leap out of the clothes. Equally entertaining is the hair and makeup at John's shows which is always over-the-top and sparkly to boot. Despite a cohesiveness, all models looked different. Coco Rocha was a sailor girl and playfully tugged at her pigtails as she skipped down the runway.
Amongst the models who have been all over the runways this season was Yasmin Le Bon. The former model and wife of Simon Le Bon (Duran Duran) is 45 years old. Wearing a black ruffled trenchcoat with fuschia florals, she stormed down the golden runway with the best of them. Also in the lineup: Angela Lindvall, the 31-year-old former supermodel and 32-year-old Carmen Kass. Using these three beautiful fashion veterans made Galliano's show all the more reason to admire his genius and his love of all women.

chanel spring 2011
Ah, to be in Paris for fashion week. Chanel is no doubt on the top of everyone's list. Because like it or not, everyone has a Chanel design in their closet. No, maybe not a caviar 2.55 or a string of pearls with diamond encrusted interlocking Cs (or maybe you do; good on you!). But if you own a tweed jacket, a pair of two-toned ballet flats, anything jersey, boxy suits, A-line skirts, or a black dress, you can thank Coco Chanel for introducing it to the world...and your wardrobe.
Somewhere along the way, Coco's original idea of simplicity and practicality got lost in the translation. And it's actually okay! Karl Lagerfeld has modernized the classic design house and made pieces that an edgy girl who knows and appreciate labels can wear. As for the rest of us who don't have it in our budget: we can admire from afar and recreate to our best abilities.
Carmen Kass has made a huge comeback this season, appearing in several shows thus far. Another supermodel who was a huge icon in the '90s: Stella Tennant. The queen of androgynous beauty with a bone structure that could cut glass, Stella opened and closed the show proving once a supermodel, always a supermodel.

zac posen spring 2011
For those of you who played dress-up as a child adorning yourself in feathers and furs, you're in for a treat. Zac Posen found the feather boas in your dress-up chest and decided to incorporate them into a collection of elegant, old school glamour. With ruby red lips and strappy black shoes, Zac's stunning designs are indeed for every woman.
With last fall being the return of the "curves", many designers are taking the cue from the Louis Vuitton and utilizing the models who have been otherwise non-existant in runway shows. Hillary Rhoda returned to fashion week this season, and it's a wonder we've been able to get along without her. And, by the way, the people have spoken: more Crystal Renn! Zac seems to be one of the rare designers who believes in dressing for all body types, not just one.
The garnet, champagne, and black were gorgeous backdrops that only Zac could create. Newlywed Coco Rocha, whose wedding gown was designed by Zac, had one of my favorite looks with a fur stole and floor-skimming gown.
