Fall Fashions

I find that the way great designers become famous to be so interesting. They always have a great story and their means of inspiration are fascinating. What usually seems to be so fantastic about it is that it usually comes from the most ordinary thoughts and feelings towards things we are surrounded by. Prada, always finds a way to project a silent humor; while in Cali, Donald of Barney’s told us about her spring 2010 line and how she found her light for it. She had just been in Miami for a period of time where she seemed to be bombarded with everything bright and flashy. She hated it. So that means she based her line over the entire concept of what she found to be so obnoxious. I love that she uses prints and concepts that are honestly meant for a comical expression of society. In the end, it turns into beautiful art that sells out every time!

What we are expecting from her Fall 2010 line is a visit down memory lane of her most classic pieces. She wants to “revise” them. The garments themselves take comical focus on the breasts; as Style.com puts it “The clothes themselves were a deliberate, and quietly humorous, compliment to the womanly”. The line is absolutely beautiful and elegant. She uses a lot of boxed silhouettes but somehow worked them into becoming feminine. She uses mostly shades of black and white but added a little spice of color here and there.

From what goes back to my last blog about Prada, Style.com also commented in regards to Prada’s fall 2010 RWT line: “In fashion, appreciating the exceptional is always more interesting”. That’s what draws styles apart from one another, the focus of over the top expression to very little – both are very strong.

Now on a more personal note, this week has been about getting back to the basics! I work at White House Black Market and we’re preparing for our Fall Trunk Show next week! So many Beautiful new pieces! I’m going crazy, because I have no money to buy! But inspiration behind our Fall 2010 line is from vintage Europe, could it get any more adorable? I think not! I have to find some cold hard cash ASAP!
