Akiko Ogawa Spring 2009 Collection

[aimhigh]

Ogawa’s deconstructed men’s wear pieces — such as skillfully cropped trenches and playful ombré blazers — stood out in sharp contrast to her strange, slim jodhpurs.

I like Akiko's style. Her use of color seems effective in almost every outfit, but something about the tailoring of her pants bugs me. I think designers are trying to make pants the new blazer; Burberry's new line, Prorsum, seems like it is trying to make full-length gauchos the new business pant. To say the least, I'm not wild about it.
