Style.com recently posted their top 10 collection picks from the 2010 Fashion Week and by adding my own spin on their translations of the collections, I gave this drab hard news article a much needed everyday girl's opinion for other real girls out there.
The top designer was Alexander McQueen, who died a week prior to New York Fashion Week. Was he chosen because of his death as a tribute to his life's work or was it because of his skills as a tailor? I can't help but feel that it was because of the former reason though I can't deny his astounding draping abilities and love for romantic clothing shown so well.
Burberry Prorsum came in at number two with live streaming of the show and a "click to buy" button on the site the same day as the show. Christopher Bailey delivered an edgy show that had everything from aviators to python thigh high boots, which isn't exactly everyday footwear but we all like to have a little fun sometimes.
Celine by Phoebe Philo was third on the list with a strong and powerful show including black leather outfits that were elegant rather than high school goth.
As number four, Chanel brought in 240 tons of snow from Sweden for the show by Karl Lagerfield, who made faux fur look real and appealing to even the most ardent animal activists.
Fifth place went to Dolce & Gabbana with their classic leopard spots and black lace. Sixth was Dries Van Noten who gave everyday women exactly what they want with sweatshirts and button-downs!
Marc Jacobs sent all unknown models down the runway to the tune of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and tweaked oldies such as pantsuits and sequins to make a whole new collection coming in at number seven.
Number eight was Michael Kors who delivered his all-American classic look amazingly. Ninth was Prada who "unexpectedly" cast Victoria Secret Angels as their models.
Rounding out the list at number 10 was Rag and Bone with menswear-inspired basics and somehow were able to make camouflage and plaid work in the same outfit.
This list contains some of the most enlivening designers of our time who all delivered a more edgy look for the season and drew inspiration from old looks and adding their own flares to make them new again. I give the top 10 collections an A+ for their refreshing take on this Spring's trends which tend to flow to florals and pale pinks every time the snow starts melting.
