Vera Wang

"Fashion is an endless process of elimination: in and out, now and then, new and old, right and wrong...  Fashion's compulsion for change means it is only ever a matter of time before you are out, rather than in, you are wrong rather than right."

-Alicia Drake (The Beautiful Fall)

I look forward to fashion week just as much as I dread it, because while I can hardly wait to see what my favorite designers have produced, it's also the time of year when I want to spend money like a complete lunatic.  Vera Wang in particular makes me want to whip out my check book and spend thousands of dollars that I don't have.  Her S/S 2011 collection fell nothing short of spectacular.  It was infiltrated with clean lines, geometric compositions, and an elegant color palette.  Instead of floor length sun dresses with  upper-thigh slits, she gave us a sort of Yves Saint Laurent, 1940's inspired collection with elements of Grecian goddess and Japanese geisha intertwined.  

Here are a few of my favorite looks from her spring collection:
