Knitwear with Attitude

The runways are full of beautiful fashion for 2010 and there are lots of blogs about the fashion trends for Spring/Summer. I have seen lots that I want to post here. But, I am finding it hard to think about that too much at the moment, I am concentrating on getting through the Winter. And for me - that means lots of knitwear. I found these great knits on fashionising.com

Of course, I can't let you go without showing you some of EterKnity's great knits - below. Helping you stay warm and stylish.

From the Runway to your Closet

British designer, Alexander McQueen’s menswear and womenswear is now available in the U.S. through McQueen’s online store, Alexander McQueen.com. From the runway to your closet is now only a click away - if you live in the United States. I'm sure it will expand to the rest of the world - it's only a matter of time.

It's hard to beat the absolute fantasy of McQueen's fashion shows - click here to see McQueens Women's Fall/Winter 09 runway show "The Horn of Plenty" - amazing! I simply adore the black and white hounds tooth checks - but I love all things black and white. However, look behind the drama and there is something for everyone. Here are my picks from the online store:

100 Years of Beauty

LG Fashion Week in Toronto had an amazing opening night gala based on the theme of 100 Years of Beauty. From 1910 to the present day, each era was beautifully represented. I made this collage from photos of the Opening Gala that I found on blogto.com . As you can see, even the men took a nostalgic trip down memory lane, although the Amadeus look broke the 100 year rule. Now, I am off to raid my great-grandmother's closet - again!

The official LGFashionWeek website has amazing videos and photos that will give you a real sense of the drama.

My favourite designer of the week is definitely Ramona Keveza. Based in New York, Keveza was born in London, Ontario and still manufactures clothes in Canada. A leader in the bridal industry, Keveza is now successfully tapping into the eveningwear market. Here are three of my favourites from the show.

p.s. What's your favourite look from the past? Mine is the 1940's - the clothes, the shoes, the hair - there is just something about that unique style that is timeless.
