Walk the Walk: LOVAS F/W 2011 Collection

Before I saw this runway show, I was lucky to have a chance to see many of the pieces in Montreal and I was amazed by the quality of the pieces. Therefore, it was a given that I had high hopes to see this runway show and no, it did not disappoint me at all.

The inspiration of this season was from Wesley Badanjak's mother Manda Badanjak and her twin sister Marija Vejin. The color palette consisted of navy, charcoal, silver, Bordeaux and crimson and there were also nice floral patterns. There was a retro vibe of this collection due to the flora prints but at the same time, because of Wesley's designs, there was also a modern element injected to many of the pieces.

In my opinion, I think the strongest pieces in this collection will have to be the jackets as I am loving the cutting and the detail on them! Overall, this is a very wonderful collection from Wesley and I truly believe he will be able to surprise me again with his S/S 2012 collection!

Pros:
- The color palette is great and the prints are very eye catchy
- The use of fur on the coat is great and women will look elegant in it.
- The silhouette of the gowns is always great in Wesley's design.
- Once again, the coats are very strong in this collection.

Cons:
- Not a big fan of the velvet. It does not really fit the collection well.

Eye Candies:
- Wool Mona coat
- Flora taffeta Pammy dress
- Knit wool Laurie jacket
- Cashmere Priscilla coat
