FAVE LOOKS: CLOVER CANYON FALL 13
3.5.2013
Walking into the Clover Canyon presentation was like entering a Winter Palace in Russia. Where ballerinas embraced fashion and danced around in their fancy bunheads and slippers. For Fall 2013 Clover Canyon turned homeage to Russia and inspired by excessiveness and radicalness. Russian details are seen through the collection, with influence from The Hermitage to Kazimir Malevich’s graphic Constructivism, as well as the siberian plain and Russian ballet. This was obvious as many of the models were wearing crystal embellished ballet shoes, and striking little ballet poses in them as well! I was obsessed over the voluminous beehive up-dos, a new twist for the top bun. Their trademark hand-engineered prints were suited perfectly on voluminous A-line skirts and dresses. Each outfit was heavily exposed with a theme. I fell in love with the swan one, only practical since it goes along with my name! As well as a wild horse print on a tee and pants, that was a graphical art-deco sensation. Beautiful embroideries on white crisp shirts and dresses added the magic touch. Design in LA, adds the perfect combination to a strong artistic collection, a little california free spirit. Clover Canyon is also produced here, for me who likes to support local production whenever as possible, I’d say hands up all around!

Fave Looks: Lauren Moffatt Fall 13
2.15.2013
Like city girls sitting around a campfire was the emotion for Lauren Moffatt’s Fall 13 collection. Moffatt took the NYC popular getaway of the Catskills for her inspiration for the collection. Lots of cutesy muffs, neato fur dickies, pretty gloves, and printed hats making one of Moffatt’s first accessory capsule. Models lined up on large discs of cut lumber. Which quickly reminded me of my childhood days, when spotted a tree stump a sudden desire to stand on it. That alone brought me into a let’s go camping mood. With so many girlish looks that one could prance along in while exploring the forrest. Cool collars, a lacey top paired with peach skirt, cozy knits that scream forest-chic. Harvest-like colors such as burnt oranges, mustards, creams paired with patriotic red and blues. Bold chevron’s sat beside more dainty floral prints. For hair, it was very simple with curls, and very soft natural makeup. I mean these are just cute girls who woke up in the middle of woods.
