Walk the Walk: Greta Constantine F/W 2011 Collection

This is a big departure from the previous collection for Greta Constantine as minimalism becomes the dominate style for this F/W season. You still see drapes but not as much as the previous season and the color palette is darker. I am liking the oriental/tribal design elements in this collection and they can give an edge to the ordinary pieces. The kimono inspired jackets are definitely one of the signatures of this collection and I am sure a lot of girls will be dying to have one in their wardrobe. Overall, it is a pretty cohesive collection.

Pros:
- I am liking the tribal influence on the collection
- I must admit, the coats are very nice, a big departure from their previous collections.
- There are a lot of wearable pieces.
- I can't say how much I love the Oriental inspired belt.
- The pom-poms are the fun embellishments on the coats
- Very good use of the velvet material.

Cons:
- I would love to see pieces created from the patterns on the boots
- The evening pieces are not really my cup of tea.
- Would love to see a brighter color palette.

Eye Candies:
- Kimono inspired coat
- Oriental inspired belt
- Sapphire and merlot silk brocade boots
- Flare sleeves blouse
