Worlds Top Ten Brand Collections

Worlds Top Ten Brand Collections

1. Balenciaga

Aphorism au revoir to the eighties, Nicolas Ghesquiere went back to the potential and the streets, arming his tribe of urban warriors with hooded vests, sporty skirts, and the sexiest leather jeans approximately all spliced together in celemode style and latest trends that defy both the imagination and the replica artists.

2. Balmain

Christophe Decarnin establish a way to put a new gloss on the tight, tattered, T&A formula he’s made his own mixing tailcoats, army surplus shirts, and leather cargo pants with chain-mail minidresses and sequined loincloths. The look is so hot, it’s probably illegal in quite a few states.

3. Celine

First-class news for women looking for practical yet utterly polished clothes: Phoebe Philo’s back. Leather tees, high-waisted trousers, and a sophisticated new take on leotard dressing are the keys to her contemporary and in a way, daring brand of simplicity.

9. Rodarte

10. Versace

This is the time of year of the cocktail dress, which means it’s Donatella Versace’s moment to shine.
