The Past is so Now

The Past is still relevant.

Admittedly these images come from Fall 2011.

I find these collections so on trend, as they show the kernel of the designers ideas that have now bloomed into a more main steam zeitgeist. Many of the themes in this collections are still going strong: Bright Color, Statement Coats, and Prints everywhere!

A New Light. Mood board #5

A New Light

For this transition into early fall I start to think about those long shadows cast by a sinking sun. The photos in this mood board conjure the elegant contrast of a California light.  Th  editorial shoot featuring Mia Wasikowska expresses dressing for the west cost life, in a glitzy yet laid back mix of black, cream and gold (and desert Kachina print dress by Hermes). Classic, rock and roll, and Hollywood these contrast will make you strut into a new light.
