Menswear - Ready-to-Wear Collections - Autumn Winter - 2009

The Autumn Winter - 2009 - Menswear Ready - to - Wear Collections offer some of the very best options for Men commencing with what I view as the Top Seven. Not usually an admirer of either Dolce & Gabbana or Calvin Klein, but for next Autumn Winter, these Collections were marvelous. My only complaint, one I have made repeatedly is the ruinous line created by all of those buckled pant legs. With all of the good tailoring found in these clothes, why oh why must pant legs buckle over the shoe. It is a tiresome and unfinished look.

The Best...


Dolce & Gabbana

Sublime. Sumptuous. Luxurious. Elegant. I can't heap enough adjectives and praise upon this collection. It doesn't get any better than this in Ready-to-Wear. If you possess the body and the means, acquire every piece.



Giorgio Armani



Calvin Klein



Prada

Adore this Collection. My only criticism is of Ms. Prada herself. Women of her age, height, and weight, should not wear skirts above the knee, and if, they must, they should never appear in public without hose!



Jil Sander



Dries Van Noten



Versace

The Worst
Beyonce
She mugged a sofa, a really ugly
sofa?

Meryl StreepThere is simply no excuse, for
dressing this badly. Are there
no mirrors in Connecticut or
California? Why can Ms. Streep
not find someone who can
design and dress her for these
very public events?

Kate Winslet
Ms. Winslet, as usual, a horror.

Nicole KidmanLooking like a plucked chicken
is now the height of style?

Melissa George
It didn't work for "Barbie" why
does Dolce & Gabbana
think it would work
for a real woman? Where's
the dress which goes
over the foundation garment?

Tilda Swinton
This is so ugly on so
many levels.

Angelina Jolie
and
Brad Pitt
Anyone for black
candles at
Midnight?

It may be vintage
Pierre Balmain, but it looks
too, too
"Gone with the Wind"
