F/W 2010 - Minimalism




There are many individual looks I find myself attracted to this season. One trend I noticed, and adored, is the simplification of fashion, a return to the basics. Many shows included basic, minimal pieces, adorned with many small details, or tailored to the extent that they easily shed the 'boring label' that can be attached to minimal designs of the past. I haven't jumped on the minimal band wagon before, in terms of watching shows. Shows, for me, are about drama, flair, theatrics... a touch of exageration. However, when basics are done this well, I find it impossible to not be an avid new minimalist fan. These looks to the left fully represent why I can now see myself donning these duds... The three designers, from top left to bottom left, are Marc Jacobs, No. 21, and Preen. The No. 21 dress, being modeled by Kasia Struss, is by far my favourite of the pack. One other big advantage of minimalism... more room to explore with fun, and courageous accessories!

  1. I freaking loved Marc Jacobs. That is going to be my go to collection for inspiration for next fall/winter.
