satin sweaters

I have been meaning for a while to post about the Alexander Wang Fall/Winter 2011 collection, so here are my favorite looks from the show.  I absolutely love everything from Alexander Wang and in my mind he can do no wrong.  Every look was so strong and the attention to detail and inventiveness that went into the show blew me away.  

Here are my 5 favorite things about the collection:

1. Satin & Sweaters - the combination and fusing of satin and sweaters was done beautifully and I cannot wait to try this in my own outfits.

2. Contoured Sleeves - I love the chunky over-sized ribbed sleeves on each of the sweaters, it just adds a level of volume that is very unique.

3.  Sheer Blouses - The white blouse that is extra long in the back is one of my favorite items I have seen in all fall runway shows, the simplicity and design of it is just perfect.

4.  Accessories - From the leather faux leg warmers to the wrap around the finger purses, each outfit is accessorized perfectly and simply to add and not take away from the over all look.

5. Small Details - Each outfit looks great but when you take a closer look you notice all of the small details that add up to make them unique.  I love the placement of the zippers on the pants and leather jacket, the drawstrings on the satin/sweater poncho, the slits in all the right places on the cut up tops and skirts, it just all adds up to make each look different from the next.
