2010 has almost come to and end. But we won’t celebrate the new year until we’ve looked back on a fantastic year of fashion. We’ve collected the news on the most memorable collaborations, upcoming models and other fashion facts you must not forget.
We made a top of 40 items. Earlier we presented news facts 1 to 35 and here are facts 36 to 40:
36. Haider Ackermann quits menswear
Haider Ackermann has quit designing menswear. His menswear collection, which arrives in store in the New Year, will be his first and last – for now – the designer has revealed. Ackermann will be focusing on his womenswear collections. Or will he be preparing for the job of head designer of Chanel? Karl Lagerfeld stated that if someone would have to replace him at Chanel it would be Haider Ackermann. Quite a compliment!
After Lanvin for H&M, Valentino teamed up with Gap for a capsule collection. The seven fashion pieces were the perfect mix of Gap’s streetwise attitude and Valentino’s feminine ruffles.
38. Jason Wu bruidskleding
Since many of his friends were getting married Jason Wu decided to do a bridal collection. The five ivory looks range from traditional (a big tulle frock) to contemporary (a short, beaded shift) and are exclusively available on netaporter for one year.
The Pilot jacket was one of the big trends of this fall/winter. Started by Burberry this fashion item became an instant hit. And not only coat with lamb’s wool sold well, lammy bags, hats and boots were a success too.
40. Carine Roitfeld leaves Vogue
It came as a big shock: Carine Roitfeld leaving French Vogue. Since so many young girls dream of being an editor at Vogue at one point in their lives, it’s hard to imagine somebody wanting to leave. Yet Carine had her own reasons, one of them being she, in her heart, felt more like a freelancer. We’re curious what her plans for 2011 are.

26. Double Denim
It was a fashion no-go for years, but in 2010 double denim all of a sudden was cool again. Chloe, D&G and Ralph Lauren set the trend and we hit the stores to buy ourselves a denim shirt to go with our favorite jeans.
27. Christopher Kane’s menswear
At the end of this year Christopher Kane launched his first menswear line. He came up with tees, suit jackets, leather shorts, knitted sweaters and cardigans, sold at Dover Street Market, London.
28. The Year of Phoebe Philo (head designer at Céline)
Since Phoebe Philo became the head designer at Céline, two years ago, she managed to turn the French ready to wear brand into one of the world’s most sought-after luxury labels. She has become one of the most influential movers and shakers in modern ready to wear and her approach to design has already had a huge impact on the way women dress. Celebs like Katie Holmes, Victoria Beckham and Leighton Meester are a big fan of her work. And it came as no surprise Phoebe (a.k.a. the Queen of the New Minimalism) won the title Designer of the Year 2010 at the British Fashion Awards in London.
29. Alberta Ferretti & Emma Watson
The Italian designer and the British actress (who cut her hair very short this year) teamed up to design an organic clothing line.
30. Olsen Twins expand The Row
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are one of the rare examples of celebrities turned succesful designers. Their clothing lines The Row, Elizabeth and James and Olsenboye are doing pretty well and therefore the sisters are expanding. Next fall the brand will have shoes and bags too.

We made a top of 40 items. Earlier we presented news facts 1 to 20 and here are facts 21 to 25:
21. Kids collections
Both Gucci and Stella McCartney launched their kids collections this year. Gucci came up with a line for babies (0 – 2 years) and one for kids (2 -8 years) including clothes, fashion accessories, footwear, gifts and sunglasses. Jennifer Lopez and her two kids became the faces of the kids collection.
Also Stella McCartney (who gave birth to her fourth child in November) launched her children swear collection for boys and girl, aged newborn to 12 years.
22. Crystal Renn no longer plus-size
The model who became famous for her curves and even wrote a book about it, seems to be no plus-size model any longer. Crystal Renn this year shocked (well, kind of) the world by showing off a much slimmer body in Harper’s Bazaar. Though the whole fashion world had accepted her as a plus-size model Crystal said her losing weight was something that happened naturally. She started to exercise. ‘I do hiking. I do yoga, but nothing crazy, just in my house’, she said.
23. Comeback of the camel coat
The camel coat is one of the classic fashion items that made a comeback this winter. We saw them at MaxMara, Chloe, Gucci, Hermes and Michael Kors and later at H&M, ZARA and Mango. The long camel coat matches well with almost anything and therefore is a big hit on the streets.
24. AdR perfume
Our number one streetstyle icon, Anna dello Russo, has reached celebrity status. And what do you do when you’re a celeb? Exactly, you launch your own perfume. So that’s what Anna did. She gave her perfume bottle the shape of a golden heel, cause she very much identifies herself with Cinderella.
25. Rachel Zoe’s baby
After months of speculations on 17 November Rachel Zoe finally confirmed she is expecting her first child. The thin-pin celebrity stylist already spoke about baby plans on her reality serie The Rachel Zoe project and therefore it was only a matter of time before she would announce her pregnancy. Congrats RZ!

Besides Miranda Kerr, Victoria’s Secret angel and ‘Dutchie’ Doutzen Kroes also has a baby on the way. She and Sunnery James (who she secretly married on a Sunday afternoon in November) are having a son in 2011.
17. LVMH & Hermes
Bernard Arnault bought 20 percent of the stocks of fashion house Hermes. Yet since the investment came as a surprise to Hermes, it seems the brand is not to happy about it.
18. Trend: Minimalism
Celine, Chloe, Stella McCartney, Jil Sander and Calvin Klein all supported one of the big trends of 2010: minimalism. Their designs were simple, but luxurious at the same time. No prints, no fuss. Just clean cuts and basic hues. Less is more.
19. New Topmodel: Daphne Groeneveld
In 2010 a new topmodel was discovered: 16-year old Daphne Groeneveld all of a sudden became incredibly successful. She started the year as one of the faces of MiuMiu’s ad campaign and ended on the cover of French Vogue. We expect this blond-haired girl with the bee-stung lips to make it to supermodel status within a year. Go Daphne!
20. Matthew Williamson’s new lines
Matthew Williamson decided to expand his business. First he announced the launch of a second, more affordable, clothing line, named Muse by Matthew Williamson. After that the designer was all over the news, because he’ll be designing a bridal collection. We’re excited!

We made a top of 40 items. Earlier we presented news facts 1 to 5 and here are facts 6 to 10:
6. Mad Men Mania
Who would have thought TV-series could be such a huge inspiration for fashion designers? Mad Men became a true hype in 2010 and inspired great designers like Marc Jacobs (for Louis Vuitton), Karl Lagerfeld (for Fendi) and Miuccia Prada (for Prada) to design super feminine fifties clothing again. Don’t we all love the comeback of the accentuated breasts and hips and the flared skirts?
7. Naomi Campbell 25 years in the business
Together with Dolce & Gabbana British topmodel Naomi Campbell celebrated her 25 years in the fashion business. She also opened up on Oprah on her drug-addiction, the men she dated and her diva-behavior.
8. Burberry’s hyper modern fashion shows
Where some fashion labels are still figuring out how to live stream their show, Burberry has been quite a few steps ahead. The British Fashion house has enabled it’s clientele to shop during it’s fashion show. By simply clicking on a piece of fashion coming down the runway people could immediately order the designs and received them within a few months.
9. Spijkers en Spijkers going strong
This year Dutch designerduo Spijkers en Spijkers launched their second clothing line SIS during the Amsterdam Fashion Week. It got a great response and we’re going to see it’s second collection within a few weeks. The two sisters also collaborated with optician Specsavers on their very own collection of fashionable glasses.
10. Yves Saint Laurent documentary
This year the documentary L’amour Fou was launched on designer Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Berge.
Listen to the YEARMIX 2010 of Joost van Bellen, who mixes a lot of soundtracks for fashionshows:
