Spring-Summer 2011 Collections...

Precise as a Swiss clock, the Spring-Summer 2011 Collections began, this week-end, their very long journey with New York's first runway shows.

As usual. they'll follow up in London, Milano and finally Paris, by the beginning of October.

Which will the key items be? What will designers propose us this time to push us madly toward stores to spend our savings on a suit, a dress or a pair of sandals?

It must be hard for them... we have gotten so used now to recycling, shortening, modifying or pairing in new ways all the pieces of our wardrobe. Two years of economic chaos have done much to fashion... We no longer buy just because, we double-check before a "coup de coeur," and we privilege smart-bargains over Haute Couture. But the fashion business must go on, it means a stable job for many and it will never end so easily...

So then. let's see what they all have to give...

For now, I've only seen Victoria Beckham's Collection, which was ok, not very exciting though. It felt like a "déjà vu" to me...

But there's still so many collections to see...

And we, women, will always find something to wish for...
