Oh I how I thrilled when perusing the S/S Catwalk collections for 2010! Fluttering chiffon, flirty lace, fabulous ruffles in sorbet and cupcake colours. Prints were sublime from butterfly inspired at Alexander McQueen and the watercolour splashes at Stella McCartney. Being a huge fan of Miss Love's style I gleefully noted the resemblance to her dress circa Live Thru This (vintage lace and baby doll dresses, Mary Janes and satin slips.) To be entirely Spring/Summer 2010 one should be rocking the underwear as outwear with towering clogs. On paper it sounds nuts, but it looked great at Chanel.
The main challenge for our poor peepers is going to the be the Return of the Bra top. Still riding the crest of the 80's revival this is an incredibly tricky to pull off garment. It SHOULD be worn with an outfit so demure it is verging on prissy. Think a long pencil skirt and cardigan al la Chloe Sevigny. One or two inches of ribcage only should be visible... However I fear the Chavs are going to run away with this one and we'll probably end up trying to decipher half a 'Darren' tattoo etched across a left tit.
With New York, London, Milan and Paris fashion weeks just passed, perhaps I should be peeking at what's to come this winter, but I never approach this with the same enthusiasm. During the dark days of winter it's such a joy to imagine what you'll be wearing down the beach under the soothing sunshine. Considering I'm still swaddled in Faux Fur, it's to depressing to start to plan what I'm going to wear when it's cold again.
