Let me first say, I'm sorry for being so long winded with this post. I have extremely fond memories of all of the clothing in the spring 2008 collections- I saw them in Colette, Bon Marche, and Galleries Lafayette while I was studying abroad the summer of 2008. It was the first time I was in the presence of designer clothing. I was able to touch them and feel them and just meet them in person. I also believe that 2008 was kind of the last time that designers were really making clothes that were inspiring and fun and art-like. The economy has been rough on everyone. Designers, retailers, customers. Designers are having to design collections that customers won't buy. Hopefully we'll see a change in this attitude sometime soon. I've missed clothing with personality and life.
This Dolce & Gabbana is so fun. I remember visiting D&G while in Paris and everything was amazing.
This Prada collection was so beautiful with Asian illustrations. Check out those amazing shoes!
I hate to feature two for MK... but these are stunning. I love the small prints.
Chanel
This St. John frock is beautiful.
This dress by Alberta Ferretti is so timeless and history inspired. I want it.
You remember this Hermes campaign with the elephants wearing makeup? I'm surprised they weren't ranked over the coals like Banksy was.
The dynamic duo has done it again. In the works at Dolce & Gabbana is a new set of eau d'parfumes inspired by tarot cards. Each of the five scents retails around $65, I believe. They're all such pretty little colors in the bottles that I'm pretty certain that I wouldn't want to stop with just one! I would most definitely need the complete set to display on the counter in my powder room.
The pair told Vanity Fair that when brainstorming with the deck of tarot cards, they went through and picked out characteristics that fit everyone in the group (including the juggler, the lover, and the wheel of fortune... le bateleur, le amoureux, et le roue de la fortune respectively). Now I don't know if that's the truth, or if it's good marketing... but whatever it is... it's brilliant!
