"It's about the moon," explained Giorgio Armani before his show.

Kasia Struss (WOMEN)

"I always need a hook to get into a collection, and that was it—thinking about something romantic and dreamy, far away from our everyday life. Something less harsh."

Jac (IMG)

The lunar references, he pointed out, were poured into luminescent fabrics, curviform cutting, embroideries made to look like the craters of the moon, and a crescent-shaped updo for the hair, which, he smiled, "is also a bit of a joke."

Heidi Mount (IMG)

It made for a lightened-up Armani Privé show as he cut skirts from overlapping semicircles and worked curves into the peplums of jackets that were fastened with half-moon mother-of-pearl pins.

At times there was a slight touch of 2001: A Space Odyssey uniform about it (see the leg-molded flares), and it was surely an intentional moment of humor when Vlada Roslyakova advanced along the runway impersonating the full moon in a giant disc of milky sheer-white organza.


Angelika Kocheva (MARILYN)

For evening, there were many renderings of sparkling silver beading, pale metallic pinks and greens, synthetic moiré treatments of organza, and paillettes shot with flashes of electric blue—an Armani merging of haute dressmaking and high tech.

The serious chic—the looks certain to be most ruthlessly competed for pre-Academy Awards—all came from the dark side of the moon.

Sigrid Agren (ELITE)

There were three of them, slivers of black constructed with various asymmetric deployments of white or cream in the back or along the flanks.

Vlada Roslyakova (WOMEN)

The result: lengthening, figure-narrowing illusions that will have the A-listers jostling to eclipse the competition at that event, soon as poss.

CAROLINA HERRERA PRE-FALL 2010.

CAROLINA HERRERA

PRE-FALL 2010 COLLECTION.

"I wanted everything light as a feather," Carolina Herrera said about pre-fall.

MODEL: AUDI

Where better to look for inspiration than the tango? The designer used a colorful 1920's print of dancers locked arm in arm for both a crepe de chine cocktail dress and a floor-length shirt gown, and its bold hues—lava red, dandelion yellow, and Directoire blue—informed the rest of a cheerful collection that played to the designer's strengths.

Herrera's tweed separates are so airy you can practically see through them, though her lineup was mostly dresses: above-the-knee blouson shifts and fitted sheaths, some with embroidered brooches, for day; and, for after eight, a moiré draped one-shoulder column and a floral-print jacquard dot fils coupe number sure to see a lot of action on the gala circuit.

MODEL: YANA KARPOVA.

The pièce de résistance was a strapless multi-stripe gown with long train made from a single piece of draped duchesse satin.

It wasn't necessarily made for dancing, but it would make an unforgettable entrance.
