Zeal

If there’s one word that can sum up fall’s fervor it is ZEAL ~ everyone has an opinion about the previous 25 trends that CC just covered, and my Fellow Fashionistas are passionate in their predilections. This zealousness has been especially prevalent with respect to Balmain’s and Dsquared2’s Fall 2009 collections, so here’s a refresher (runway photos via style.com):

Leather motorcycle jacket. All Balmain pieces pictured courtesy net-a-porter.com.
Peak-shouldered leather jacket.
Pailette mini dress.
Suede zippered ankle boots.

Tell CC, which trends are you most zealous in defending?
What is your favorite collection or trend of the FW09 season?
Which pieces are you wearing most?
CC does hope that you have enjoyed this alphabetical primer, darlings. Would love your feedback on CC’s ABCs!
