SPRING and The Grand Budhapest Hotel

Checking Out, Vouge

&

The Grand Budapest Hotel

If any art form was going to rival and beat Wes Anderson to the punch it would be Vogue. 

 This fantastical photo shoot show cases the best couture of Spring published in Vogue March 2012. This was published just as couture was become revitalized with new energy and wonder. Frothing like a french pastry the shoot lets Kate Moss show off her amazing skills while paying homage for the Ritz Hotels closure in Paris. 

All this striking imagery reminded me of the best visual movie of the year: The Grand Budapest Hotel. 

With visual luxuries,  grand dame/supper model, love, and a historic tend setting hotel. 

What more could you need to set your spring fashion imagination soaring?

Rich Winter

Make it a rich winter of: Prints, Texture, Jewel Tones and the Luxuries of the 70's.  

The print craze is all around, the textural tribal prints of Proenza Schouler (See collection Here) Fall 2011collection inspired by the Navajo patterns of my Santa Fe home, and the clean geometric prints of Loewe and Marni (Fall 2012) that bounce right on to that jewel tone silky 70's dress

 topped in bold velvet or fur. 

Thus you have warmth all the way to your fashion core!
