Carolina Herrera is one of the most classic women I've seen in the fashion industry. She maintains this uniform of a crisp white shirt and ball skirt and it looks so elegant and chic. She's a timeless beauty herself but her always polished appearance endears me to her almost as much as it does to her designs. Check out just a few of the designs from her Fall 2010 Ready to Wear collection below.

Giambattista Valli's Fall 2010 collection was quite remarkable. There aren't even words to talk about the drama that walked down the runway near the end of the show. My favorite piece had a shirred black tulle overlay and sexy strappy top as well as a full skirted bottom, that dress is bound to soon make an appearance on a red carpet, if it hasn't already.

And I don’t lose credibility in any way if I say I think girls are dope and sexy.” -- [ SOURCE ]
