chrysalis

Jak & Jill called it 80's Vs. 70's but it can be given any name. Fashion is indeed turning from the hardness of black leather to the softness of nude gauze. Things like this excite me because I feel like fashion history is being written before my eyes and I won't just have to read about the changes and what it was like being right there. But I find it exciting as well because, to me, Phoebe Philo epitomised this change in her SS10 collection for Céline. The series of clothes were simply a constant juxtaposition of this hardness and softness both in fabric and in colour without having the two elements ever merging. They coexist and complement each other perfectly always keeping their essence and remaining individual —a tough mission to accomplish.

I'm off.

PS. I want to dedicate this post to P, for always listening to my eternal fashion lectures.
