Here's a look at a few of this week's most unique styles so far.

Armani Prive
The 2011 Armani Prive collection paid homage to the tragic events that took place in Japan this year, by featuring kimonos, obi belts and a gorgeous arrangement of cherry blossoms, roses and chrysanthemums.
Givenchy
Givenchy's 2011 autumn collection by Ricardo Tisci is called "Purity" and features light, fragile fabrics and detailed crystal work. A little bit of booty doesn't hurt either.
