Fashion Musings | From the Runway: Chloé Resort 2015

There's always an ease of movement, of attitude (more specifically, joie de vivre), to the Chloè collection and unlike the edginess of jewel tones with Antonio Berardi's collection, there are graphic blocks and fluid shapes that contribute to this everlasting laid-back feminine.

Fashion Musings | From the Runway: Burberry Prorsum Resort 2015

Favorite element of Burberry Prorsum's 2015 resort collection is the varietal pencil skirts, ranging in faded colors, fabrics and textures, a reminder of a crush on feathers. These would be perfect to pair with knits, shirts and collars if one chooses and the dip-dyed lace trench is a magnificent update to the classic trench coat!

Fashion Musings | From the Runway: Antonio Berardi Resort 2015

Admittedly later than most for sharing resort collections, but as a very famous saying has it, better late than never...and so, starting this series with what is possibly the most favorite of the resort 2015 collections, by Antonio Berardi.



For what may be a lifetime, have constantly had an inner battle between choosing to be super girly or serious tomboy, and it wasn't until the discovery of Chloé some few years ago realizing that both could be possible!

Berardi's late sixties and early seventies inspired pieces in this collection features a mix of laid back feminine with a nod to edginess and structured volume in vivid color schemes and rich textiles, concluding to a fine balance for all who can't seem to choose between one or the other.

Fashion Musings | From the Runway: Delpozo S/S 2014

First thoughts when thinking of gypsies include fluorescent-colored fabrics, millions of gold bangles and going barefoot, but after being inspired by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot's Gypsy with a Tambourine painting and glass cathedral windows, Josep Font's spring collection reveals perhaps another kind of gypsy, in the form of sheer draping, delicate pleating, effortlessly crafted sweetheart necklines, voluminous skirts and suddenly swept off my feet by such an elegant and ladylike take on la bohème.



Can't quite get enough of the drama and the romance and the oozing easiness that moves in each piece. Another thing to love about this collection (as if there aren't enough reasons) - various options for the feminine and also for the tomboy - have been known to switch between the two like day and night! The sexiest sheer button down, carefully crafted high-waisted shorts and perfectly knit sweaters...so much to adore.

Fashion Musings | From the Runway: Georges Hobeika S/S 2014

Had a habit of re-watching all favorite cartoon movies over and over again in younger years. Next to The Swan Princess, Thumbelina was a top favorite. There is something about Georges Hobeika's couture line this spring/summer that takes me back to Thumbelina...the possibility of fairies existing and wearing baby dolls with what seems like vines and leaves running down the fabric, the beauty of dreamy, light colors twinkling in cropped tops embellished with a thousand tiny pearls, and sheer elegant gowns...it could be true that even mythical creatures like fairies inspire us in our every day dreams.
