Optimism is infectious at Mercedez Benz Fashion Week.
I am so happy to see the comeback of pretty, feminine happy dresses! One can look to the Fall 2010 collection hitting the runway at MBFW for proof….
Designers are all sending the same message, “Don’t worry, be happy!”
While we had a strong shift toward a masculine-made-feminine look in 2009, many designers are now taking it back by showing you their true “feminine” sides. Lots of pastels, lace and floral prints have hit the runway with mass appeal.
The essence of masculine versus feminine; The power of the feminine factor at DVF….
Alice + Olivia’s Fall 2010 was replete with sparkly dresses, pastel feather skirts and pink fur shrugs
What is more enlivening than the sight of a woman in a lovely dress??
Valentino always said, “I know what women want. They want to be beautiful.” I could not agree more! What has been getting me excited these past few months is anything and everything feminine, soft, airy and light. Don’t get this confused with girlie. This season I am concentrating on structured satin organza dresses with appliques of soft touches such as feather, irridecent rhinestones, and jacquard velvets. The inspiration for the line kind of came at me from multiple ideas. One of them to begin with is the color pink… which I think is the most feminine of colors.
This season soft is not just about ruffles and rosettes, designers are choosing fabrics like jersey and cashmere and silk and layering and draping these fabrics with an emphasis on soothing over curves and adding a sense of simplicity.
Transform girlie to gracefully cool.
So as you see, I’m not saying go head to toe girlie…. instead couple a ruffled a-line blouse with maybe a pair of leather trousers or a feathery skirt and a denim jacket.
So enough with the despondency and chat over this horrible recession already… There are so many things to be excited about this season! Keemia will be showing Fall 2010 March 12.
