In the old days well about 30 years ago or so, resort was
when you trotted out the first of nautical stripes, polka dots and navy blue.
There was usually a tad of lace tossed in and yes always some dressy clothes
for those who travelled or were looking for party frocks.
We are reminded every day that fashion must be modern and au
courant and a reflection of the times… i.e. Rihanna and KK, thank you nuclear
Wintour but why is that when designers look back to beautifully merchandised
collections and the formulas that existed are the collection so pitch perfect?/
can you explain it?? And please do not tell me that their customer is old and
tired... I beg to differ!
Real designers, those who design clothes and don’t offer
explanations for them, seem to get it right as they KNOW how to take what was
and modernize it. There are no press releases necessary, no wild and
fantastical unwearable shapes and absurd flourishes; there are instead
exquisitely rendered clothes that appeal to the broadest range of clients. If
one considers Mr. Lauren and Mr. de la Renta, one might see that they are known
for their hits and not their misses. In fact, their misses outshine the best of
most others!
So, with all that said, BRAVO Mr. Lauren for still one
beautiful collection that may not stop the world but could never be confused
with anything other than... well... just plain beautiful and really the essence
of what fashion should be all about.
PS .. Frida this is how you do low slung leather … take note
of a 1980s YSL moment with leather skirt, then bronze now gold, paired with
navy jersey!
PLEASE also take not that their is no reinvestigation necessary season after season.. insterad there is a fluency on the vocabulary and DNA of the brand!!
