Mercedez Benz Fashion Week Fall 2011 is over. But not many people knew that you could see videos of the collections and backstage on Youtube.

Many shows were even streaming live on the Internet; as will be the case during London, Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks.

Power to the people! I didn’t do a day to day round up because, well everyone was doing that, but I’m working on some mood boards on looks we can wear now inspired from the present Fall 2011 collections. It’s going to be hot and very budget friendly.

Here are some of our favorites: for more go to the MBFW Youtube Chanel.

Michael Kors FALL 2011 COLLECTION, MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK
MIchael Kors is one of my favorite fashion designers, every season he makes clothes that arent just for stick figures, peices that can transition from boardroom to weekend shopping. He’s really in tune with what women want, time after time. I love him and his pants suits is to your body as is butter on warm toast; divine.

Diane von Furstenberg FALL 2011 COLLECTION, MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK
Leave it to DVF to show us that the wrap dress after all these years can never go out of style. Like Yves Saint Laurent is so famous for saying “Fashion Fades but Style is eternal”

Derek Lam FALL 2011 COLLECTION, MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK

Prabal Gurung FALL 2011 COLLECTION, MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK

SOME ADDITIONAL VIDEOS FROM STYLE.COM
Actually my favorite is this one! Phillip Lim Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear – “Green is the color of money” he says- funnnnnyyy

Proenza Schouler Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear – Look at the textures! OMG so inventive, they were inspired by Indian blankets.

Calvin Klein Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear – Listen to Nicole Phelps from Style.com – One of the best fashion writers of all time. If you don’t know she writes those bomb ass reviews during fashion weeks. As for the collection it is simple, perhaps you can find many of the styles in your local Mango. But CK has always been well, simple.

I was a bit disappointed I couldn’t find a good Victoria Beckham Video, as the collection has really matured and in a way embraced real women bodies with a lot of flowy yet stylish dresses and bold colors. Not to mention the bags were to die for.

Hope you enjoy them all.

Bright (royal) blue skinny jeans were seen last week on these two. I’m a big fan of colored denim when I saw a similar pair at Project New York 2006 from a company called Bread denim . I wonder if this is the start of another fashion trend or just a fad?

So, remember last week when I told you about the Calypso sale? Well, I hope you got some of the Siwy Jeans because that was probably your last chance to get “the must have jeans” at that unbelievable $75 price.

No seriously, they’re like the J Brand of last year, or so they hope.

Personally I dont feel too strongly, for them, dont see anything too outstanding or particiluy worthy of my money, apart from the fact that people like Kate Moss and La Lahon rocks it, but it’s 2007, and I’m so over being a fashion groupie ( ahhh, well right now I am, lets wait to see what Kate wears next (wink) .

Anyways, if you don’t know here’s whats on the lips of denim freaks and asses of celebrities. Siwydenim.com

The debate seems to be never ending about whether high waisted pants are a sensical fashion choice, or not? The last poll I did, more than 80% of you hate it.

But I’ve seen far more people wearing (and wearing it well) high waisted skirts.

Pencil High waisted skirts can fit almost any body type. It elongates the legs and emphasizes the bust area and minimizes the waistline. Shoot, do we need any more reasons to hop on this trend?

Are you feeling high waisted skirts?

In the meantime here are some sensible price point and styles. That are great with basic white cotton button front shirts and or huge belts that really add flare, or a tiny one to tone down.

love – Jahaute!

Thanks to my photographer friend (Thierry Chomel) for sending me this picture of Katie Holmes and Victoria Beckham at the Opening Party for the Giorgio Armani Avenue Montaigne boutique in Paris. Katie looks so grown up in this sleek velvet black suit. Victoria looks like a bobblehead doll right? But I must say that her cropped hair do is a lot better than when she was wearing those badly botched hairstyles of years past.

Anways, here are some looks from the show:

Sure, its haute and its not actully meant to be ripped right from the runway and ready to wear, but I can see some of these peices on the hollywood red carpet. The line is very classically elegant and shimmery. Perfect for a star studded night.
