Tsumori Chisato Fall 2010 Collection

I am drooling over Tsumori Chisato's Fall 2010 Collection and here are my favourite runway snaps of hers, as whimsical and quaint as always. Simple in their cutting, her designs are personalized by a lot of handmade materials and fabrics, with paste jewellery, embroideries, spangles, jewelleries, and printings that she imagines.

Applause Please!
