The show this year was moved back to New York City and started with Black Eyed Peas song Boom Boom Pow.
The honour to present $3 million worth diamond bra was given to Marisa Miller, but my personal admiration goes to Heid Klum who went down the runway just five weeks after she gave birth to her fourth child.
As Christmas is coming I decided to check out handmade and vintage items on Etsy online store. Especially I liked unique and creative vintage jewelry items offered there. One of a kind piece of art is perfect gift and accessory trendy and sophisticated enough for Xmas night outs.
Here are some of treasures I found:
StarBucks Coffee Necklace Coffee Bean Cofee Cup
Decription
I’m living on coffee these days….and if it’s Starbucks, all the better! Yup…I’m addicted. My latest creation reflects my love of Starbucks and its elixir…
The Window’s Lament – Recycled Vintage Jewelry Assemblage Neclace
Decription
With the longest chain and pendant draping nearly to your navel, this is more of a garment than an accessory!
Seven recycled chains are mixed and matched to form a giant webby tangle of archaic maritime fabulousness. Chains include brass, oxidized finish, antique gold tone, and a section of gorgeous antique black glass mourning rosary beads.
Marc Jacobs sent couple of models with bunny-ear headbands down the runway in his Fall 2009 show. Now it seems becoming real fashion trend. To me yet is looks too carnival while Russian Marie Claire published some in ready-to-wear photoshoot and some celebrities also are seen wearing rabbit ear head accessory.

As the winter is on its way I wanted to post my favorite coat trends for winter 2009.
They are not surprising and continuing rebirth of 80’s style in spring/summer padded shoulders trend remains also in fall and winter. Also army theme stays, however disco style found its place also in military look making shoulders bolder and more exaggerated.
Classic stays – You can’t go wrong with black, white and gray. Classic trench coats with belts as accent.
However using so classic black and white, designers go mad about silhouettes – huge coats, capes and gowns, countless ruffles. Regular forms are outspoken with oversize sleeves and impressive cuffs and collars.
Knitwear is celebrating its victory. Knitted and bold details are not only warm, but also trendy this year.
Season’s feature is fur and leather – simple cuts and also daring. Fur is widely used for detailing (cuffs, collars and fur caps).
Burberry
Dolce & Gabbana (more…)
Burberry as usual creates feel of crumpled classics in its collections. To highlight trendiness of British outwear silhouettes are supplemented by few voluminous bag models. Really generously sized. Casual, but luxury. And iconic check, of course.
Few pieces are also included in Burberry Fall/Winter 2009 20010 Ad campaign with Emma Watson.
With focus on women’s clothes H&M had been collaborated with designers and pop singers – Stella McCartney, Karl Lagerfeld, Roberto, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Cavalli, Viktor & Rolf and Matthew Williamson - offering collections at affordable prices.
Now it’s turn to shoe-lovers dream to become true and soon in November 14 collection by Jimmy Choo containing of accessories, shoes and bags will arrive to specially selected H&M stores around the globe.
But still, although Jimmy Choo is known for women’s shoes and bags, H&M will also introduce range for women’s clothing (mainly night-out pieces) by Jimmy Choo and complete line for men comprising clothing, shoes and accessories. (more…)
Photoshoot of new Mango collection is much different from that published earlier – colors and leopard prints are replaced by cloudy blue pictures and urban graffiti background. The outfit of Scarlett is very much 80’s as presented by Mango fall/winter collection – minis, T-shirt dresses and eighties-inspired accessories.

Over-the-knee boots this fall have been featured by designers in fall 2009 winter runways
Boots, scarves and coats are things you can make your outfit stylish this fall as it was similar to spring 2009. From very expensive to most simple ones this is victory season for scarves. Although they return every season when the cold begins, this year they are impressive. Different materials and textures allow you to have some exclusive and some affordable to make your look new. Here are some ideas from desginers and high street retailers:
Chanel
