Giorgio Armani talked about “the New Chic” in his fall winter 2010 2011 collection of formal wear,  but what that boiled down to was a very particular precision: a short wrapped skirt, a jacket with a broad shoulder—sometimes peaked—and seaming that evoked Joan Crawford’s exaggerated tailoring from the forties. And most of it in that black velvet.

The dominant silhouette for Lhuillier Fall Winter 2010 2011 bridal collection was the strapless A-line, the quintessential princess gown, and romantically tufted skirts and bodices embellished with crystals were the icing on the cake - or, in keeping with Lhuillier’s theme, glittering snowflakes in the sky.

Carolina Herrera’s program notes explained that the spring summer 2010 collection’s starting point was the intricate forms woven in Japanese baskets. A rarefied inspiration, to be sure, and one that meant there was plenty of surface interest to take in on the clothes, from an intriguing vest-jacket woven in gray linen jacquard to a strapless white dress embroidered with tiny wooden tiles.
