Walk the Walk: DUY F/W 2011 Collection

Duy presented his latest collection at the LG Fashion Week yesterday and it was a wild party. While I am still not too sure how the Daphne Guinness element works in this collection (I feel like this is more like the new look of Queen Amidala in Star Wars), the collection is a very solid one and there are quite a number of great pieces. The use of furs, French lace and mohair is amazing and the color palette is giving a mysterious look to the collection. One interesting thing on this runway show is the lace on the models' faces, it makes them look like they are coming from another planet (this is where I have my Queen Amidala thought). Overall, it is a pretty solid and cohesive collection.

Pros:
- This collection has some very strong knitwear pieces. I am especially liking the big shoulder geometric element.
- It proves leopard print will always be a hit for F/W collection.
- I really love the use of french lace and mohair in this collection.
- The collection gives the ladies a edgy kick.
- The collection is quite cohesive.

Cons:
- Would love to see more pieces with purple.
- Daphne Guinness influence is not as strong as I imaged.

Eye Candies:
- purple wool coat
- Wool fringe skirt
- Leopard print one shoulder dress
- Gold "leaves" gown
