Designer Spotlight: Canadian Designer Andy The Ahn

Canada is exporting a new fashion designer to the states. Enter Andy the Ahn. His collections are readily available all over Canada and are now available in the U.S. at Neiman Marcus, and at smaller boutiques. His line is full range consisting of separates (jackets, pants, shirts, dresses). But I am always drawn to the dresses because I love dresses. They are so easy. Wearing a dress is such a great way to be stylish without a lot of effort. Just add a great necklace, fab shoes and the perfect handbag - and you are on your way. I love the color choices of his SS2010 line. It falls right in line with the bold color trend happening now. Here are my favs. You can get more information about this emerging designer on his web site.

What I Want Now: The Best of William Rast

I guess singing and dancing was getting a little boring for Justin Timberlake. So he has now added a womenswear line to his William Rast Autumn/Winter '09-10 wares. Timberlake told UK Vogue that he was inspired by American Classics like "Rumblefish" and "Thelma and Louise." I must say that his inspiration definitely translated well into his clothes. The line is primarily jeans which really doesn't impress me but there were some fab items at really good prices. See the entire line here. Here are my picks. The trench coat is my favorite:

My Faves From Fashion Week: Badgley Mischka

There are two men on the fashion scene that never disappoint. Those two guys are Mark Badgley and James Mischka. I mean really... are these drop dead gorgeous or what? I was so happy to see them take on the bridal gown market because the same luscious fabulousness that are in their ready-to-wear line, you will see in their bridal line. Love these guys. Here are my favorites with the first dress as my absolute fav. See more on their web site.

My Faves From Fashion Week: Douglas Hannant

I became familiar with Douglas Hannant when I discovered his amazing bridal collection last year. But this line is so exquisite yet bold. I was so moved by this collection that I could not just choose a few. I had to choose many! Each piece was special in its own way and could easily stand alone. I could not decide on a favorite. So there are many favorites and you can see more, including his bridal collection here.

My Faves From Fashion Week: Mrs. Beckham

I do not envy anyone but the closest that I come to envy would be for Victoria Beckham's sexy life. Not so much for what she does, but because of course she is married to the sexiest man alive, David Beckham. Wow! Okay, moving on :-)

Mrs. B came to conquer us yanks and she has made a wonderful start. Her spring collection was okay but I love her fall collection. She is also keeping her lines very clean and her silhouettes very modern and chic. These pieces scream VB! I love the Morticia look of her gowns. You go V. I love ya. Here are my favorites:
