This year's Acne Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear collection was...well, interesting. The most eye-catching thing was not the clothes, but perhaps the makeup. Each model had a design on her forehead that resembled something out of Star Wars. Oh, the clothes, you're asking about. They were pretty nice. To see for yourself, look below. And please, just LOOK at that first pair of pants.

Fashion ABC's: A is for Acne
Here on Very Fashionable Things, we've decided to start a new feature titled "Fashion ABC's." Every other day or so, we'll be posting a new letter and some aspect of fashion that begins with that letter. Since today is day one of our new experiment, the letter will be A. And our fashionable feature? Acne. No, not that acne. The other one.

JPG: Fashion Hit or Miss?
During Jean Paul Gaultier's Fall 2010 Couture show, we saw dramaticism that would have given the late Alexander McQueen (R.I.P.) a run for his money. Drapings, facial coverings, sky-high hair, and even musical instruments. Yes, musical instruments. And conductor's batons. JPG showed us everything from long, elaborate coats and cloaks to short minis with fur. This was a collection that truly covered every single facet of fashion. The lovely Dita von Teese even modeled for his show. Even though his pieces were impeccable in a tailoring and architectural sense, some felt that he was overly flamboyant and should nix his new "McQueen-esque" perspective. What do think about his Fall 2010 Couture collection? Was this a hit or a miss?

Spotlight on Ruffles
Nothing says "ooh-la-la" quite like a chic ruffled shoe. Whether it be a pump, t-strap, wedge, or flat, a ruffle texture adds spice and a new dimension to any shoe. Below I've posted a few splurges as well as some sensible options that I've found swoon-worthy.

Magnificent Marchesa
Few designers left me awestruck following my review of the Resort 2011 collections. One line, however, that left me begging for more was Marchesa. This collection was all over the place, some looks resembling flapper dresses and 1950's styles, while others seemed Grecian inspired. Some of the gowns might very well be some of their best pieces EVER. Yes, I mean that. And if you don't believe me, look below to find out why I am so infatuated with their Resort 2011 collection.

Oh, Elie!
The one. The only. The gifted Elie Saab. One of my all-time favorites. It is hard for me to have disdain for any piece of his. Below I posted some highlights of his Fall/Winter 2010/2011 Haute Couture and Ready-to-Wear collections. Begin to feast your eyes...

Divine Demi
I recently felt the urge to revisit my personal favorite of the 2010 Oscars Red Carpet. By far, Demi Moore was the "best dressed." Please note that I normally hate using this cliche term, as there are multiple aspects that make or break a style, and it is exceedingly rare when a celebrity aces all these facets in a single night. On this occasion, however, Demi was glowing in her Atelier Versace gown. More of my Oscar favorites? Elizabeth Banks in Versace, Meryl Streep in Chris March (Project Runway alum), and Rachel McAdams in Elie Saab.
