Check out http://www.wwd.com/fashion-week/spring-ready-to-wear-2010/ to stay up-to-date on all of the designers collections for Spring 2010. Also to look more in-depth at the Chanel and Valentino Collections.

The Chanel collection designer by Carl Lagerfeld is al about the country. On the runway the looks were accompanied with silver tree branches in the models hair and high heeld clogs (which Lagerfeld named 5 o'clock clogs) were striking. He said that the look is modeled after Marie Antioinette. Also another designer, Lily Allen joined the forces for the spring line to give it a little bit more. Some examples of the looks are floral frocks with airy appendages, safari shirts with black lace skirts and hand knits with poppies to bring a country cozy chic-ness into the mix. For a more professional look try a suit with a chort cut skirt with a jacket. Jackets witll be seen worn a variety of ways from short to long, belted or loose or even with full sleeves. Overll the Chanel collection with resemble a high-chic country girl style in the spring.
Valentino's designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli really hit he mark on Valention's visoion of feminine chic and romantic beauty this season according to Women's Wear Daily. Their inspriation for their spring looks came from Alice in Wonderland. They wanted to to create "a fairy tale like a fragile gifure walking through an enchanted garden, but with a hint of danger". The colors that will be seen are more wilted and dusty in gray, nude and blush and they create a dusk-y, twilight effect with soft organza dresses that a structured with petals and ruffles. The looks have a pinafore construction with big bows in the back that look like a fairy tale princess look without looking to young. Since they went for a more fairy tale look, this collection was aimed at a younger auddience with shorts and rompers designed for evenings out. You won't see anyone lunching or lounging in these pretty pieces, I can bet you on that. So if you're looking for a look for an elegant night out check out this gorgeous collection from Valentino.
