As a self-confessed drape fanatic, I was delighted by 'Queen of Drape' Donna Karan, and French-Moroccan (born & raised in Israel) Yigal Azrouël's Resort 2010 collections. Donna Karan's 'Manhattan Tango' collection had plenty of waisted dresses, full skirts, frills, bold patterns and colours, whilst still retaining some of her trademark draping & soft pastel hues that I absolutely adore. Whereas, Yigal Azrouël's relatively pared down collection showcased gorgeous liquid jersey columns and floaty chiffon tunics...Subdued, elegant & so beautiful...

Donna Karan isn´t one of my favourite designers... But this collection is GREAT!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous dresses! They seem a mix between hellenic art & chic parisien.
I adore your blog!!
Bisous de Barcelona!

i love your selection. these draped dresses are so feminine and sensuous !
ReplyDeleteAaaawwwww, the Donna Karan collection is amazing! Especially the grey outfits (I love 1) grey, 2) jersey, 3) drape - if these criterias are coming together I can forget about my limit on the cc.... lol! I also love th collection of Yigal Azrouel very much! He should be more popular!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the grey Alexander Wang resort 2010 long draped dress??? Drool!!
Something about the first dress really appeals to me.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, these collections are simple, elegant just beautiful. I'm a huge fan of draping, it's such a flattering way to cover one's body.
ReplyDeletei definitely prefer Donna Karan's collection..the draping is much more sophisticated.

I seriously think I am in love with all the resort collections. That first nude Donna Karan number is stunning!
ReplyDeletelove the pink dresses
ReplyDeleteDonna Karan IS the mistress of drapery! I'm surprised I enjoyed these! Refreshing color palette helps.
ReplyDeleteI love the Donna Karen--especially that navy dress with the black bow. Beautiful drapery is actually how I envison my dream wedding gown...
ReplyDeletewow...
ReplyDeletedraping is the type of thing that FEELS good on the skin as well.

Well, I was going to try to pick a favourtite, but my list just kept growing as each line passed. They're amazing dresses! Draping is such a fine art & when it's done well, it's just phenomenal.
ReplyDeleteMAJOR stand out dresses? The first one by Donna Karan, and the first one by Yigal Azrouël. I have an obsession with navy this winter.
wow...these are great pieces!
ReplyDeleteAmazing amazing amazing!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
XoXo
i really like the second look from Yigal Azrouel. so sophisticated and summery.
ReplyDeletei do love the draping, that grey shirt dress at Donna Karan is stunning! i'm very into grey at the moment. And the turbands at Yigal Asrouel remind me of Dries SS09 in some way. Very 1930s chic.

Hi Brigadeiro...
ReplyDeleteOh yes... wonderful drapings reveille the GRECIAN GODDESS in you!
Yigal Azrouël was actually never on my wishlist as I simple did not know him very well. The last long maxi dress is gorgeous!!!!
Beautiful Blessings to you!
how LOVELY! i love yigal azrouel:)
ReplyDeleteHello dear,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to reply to your comment (sorry being slow doing so), and say, yes, that probably was my last post. Though I don't know what the future holds, and perhaps I will return to GMNYC and blog again sometime later.
But, I really want to travel this summer, and not travel with a schedule, or with a tour group and guide, and not to stay in fancy hotels and within the boundaries of a resort...I really want to roam, in the truest sense. To immerse myself in the local cultures and lands, and not worry about tomorrow, but to simply live in the moment, and live it to the fullest.
Anyway, downside of traveling: I don't think my rather weighty desktop computer is going to be a very good travel companion, and who knows how often Internet cafes, or anything of that sort, I may come upon in my travels...so, I don't think I'll be able to keep up this blog, for at least a while. :(
But if I do travel (without a computer and all), I will certainly miss you, and your lovely blog, and thank you for always supporting me and leaving such kind, encouraging comments, I really appreciate it, more than I can find words to say. <3
Anyway, hope you're having a lovely week, my dear! <3
xoxo,
