Alas ,just to set the record straight ,I did not venture to the beautiful land of Idaho to search out a new abode to wear my new spring 2010....
But after reviewing the American Designers.......I wasn't running away from some of the collections....BUT if I were to purchase one of Calvin Klein's dresses...I could only seriously
wear in the presence of the beautiful trees that line the skies of Coeur d'Alene ,Idaho.
The trees would definitely camouflage the sheerness of the collection !!!!!!!!!! The collection
was labeled as ,minimal and sheer .Enough said !
As the title clearly stakes I LOVE FASHION...In one of my previous entries..I stated how
I systemactically go through my latest issues ....I love the inffusion of colors,fabrics ,nuances
and creativity of new and many times old styles that are revitalized .I realize that many lengths will be lowered for the average shopper and some items are only for the runway .But living in
such a climate as San Francisco...I still tend to lean towards most of the fall fashions...many fabrics are so perfect for our weather .
One great early tip though ,if you are seriously thinking about revamping your spring wardrobe
look in your closet first ..So many vendors offered looks that are probably in your closet or @ your nearest resale shop .Ralph Lauren's collections were reminiscint of the 'Grapes of Wrath .
Oversized ,torn jeans...Newsboy hats , calico print dresses ,and my favorite the classic blue
pinstriped pant suit . Yes I am on the search ...with a little alterations...I am in like flint !!!!
Donna Karan's looks were weightless ,with an easy appeal as only DK can present .There were
hues of blush,greys and white . Anna Sui showed preppylooks with lots of prints,florals and
lots of Bohemian influence .Marc Jacobs had more going on than a Disney on Ice show !!!!!!!!!
In a nutshell there were ruffles everywhere,graphics,draping and underwear on the surface .
Look it up for yourself . Last but not least...........Oscar de la Renta presented the Safari look
with a twist of course ,Ladylike dresses in fab colors ,great prints and eveningwear that is his
forte .Thank you Mr. de la Renta for remembering us in the 40 plus club !!!!!!
Just a reminder the industry is still in the struggling mode ,so just a word of advice ..save those
dollars for those after holiday great finds ...focus in ,go try on that one must-have ,alert your
favorite sales persona and they can ring it up with that fabulous percentage off price ...
A demain
Janice
