POPULAR APPEAL (1 of 4)
Alternatively chic and more wild.
A woman-child with a retro look set in a Twin-Peaks universe. She looks like Mom and he looks like Granddad. A playful, girly mood juggling vintage patterns and faded 60’s and 70’s Americans colors creates a mundane atmosphere with a twisted angel.
Colors.
A cheerful, yet slightly faded range evoking 70’s colors, which seem to have been softened in the washing machine. Muffled tones: pale blue, faded beige, soft khaki. A range completed by more intense hues of yellow or violet with stronger accents of red or sky blue.
Silhouettes.
A blend of retro elegance à la Jackie O reworked more romantically with fitted, high-waisted, slim-bust jackets and tops with jewel-like embroidery worn with mid-knee length, slim pencil skirts or Capri pants … and the campus inspiration of worn denim mini blousons and high school tops paired with tulle tutus.
Men.
70’s style, composed of bell bottoms trousers, floral shirts and fitted jackets. A rock vintage spirit with military jackets and boot-cut jeans. Retro campus style with a polyamide blouson worn with a baseball T-shirt and bleached snow-colored jeans.
Fabrics.
They cultivate a vintage mood with cottons and wool being worked to seem used, faded, softer and suppler. In a 70’s, sporty mood, a range of relaxed fabrics: supple denims, thick canvases, casual fleece, washed out, checked yarn-dyes. A more sophisticated, Halston style of chiffons, crepes and satins for a femme fatale look.

All Denim: How Much is too Much?

Denim apparel is making a comeback this spring, however, with some of the new designs— denim leggings for women, jean shorts for men and head-to-toe denim outfits for both— is it pushing the revived trend too far? J. Crew and Banana Republic just recently introduced a denim collection that includes denim trench coats and shirt dresses. Simon Kneen, Creative Director and Executive Vice President of Design at Gap Inc. said head-to-toe denim is,” a wonderful optimistic feeling of blue skies, springtime and feeling really positive and optimistic.” Keep it all in moderation and the denim trend is back in fashion for 2010!
All Aboard!

With spring right around the corner, it’s time to trade in those chunky winter boots for something just as comfortable and functional, but with a little more style. Featured on the runways of this year’s New York Fashion Week, boat shoes are making a statement. Not only do they play on the nautical trend we’re seeing right now, but they are the perfect shoes for any spring look – they combine sexy, sensible and sporty all in one!
My favorite pair by Sperry Top-Sider® (Nordstrom — $79.95) has the double eyelet tie and comes in an oat color that matches both black and brown. They have leather foot beds and air mesh panels that give my feet the support they need and on top of that, they are water-friendly. Be sure to check out Sperry’s entire spring line; from tie dye to pink patent leather, there is a boat shoe out there for everyone. I can’t wait to throw on my own pair with some shorts and head to the lake. Boat sold separately.
