"Ready to Wear"

I've always thought that it is ironic that S/S collections come out when it just starts to snow.

It's snowing here in Rennes. Bretagne usually doesn't get much snow but somehow it's snowing, already. I was thinking...I should get new shoes... I was wearing my neon-pink sneakers and my feet were numb.

Fashion people are busy looking at Spring/Summer collections... Here is one of my favorite 2011 S/S collections.

Christian Dior.

Things that came into my mind: cross-bags, polynesia, sailor, marine

Unlike DG's all-white collection, Dior used a lot of color.

melancholy

I am not sure if it's appropriate to title the first post of our blog 'melancholy.' But I couldn't find anything better to fit Laura Laine's works.

Laura Laine is a Finnish fashion illustrator whose works are characterized by melancholy faces and curved body lines. She keeps her drawings in monotone which adds to the melancholiness. The first thing I said when I first saw Laine's works was 'wow'; I couldn't say anything more because she perfectly combined unusual factors in her illustration and solved them out into fascinating drawings. Monotone for fashion illustration, and melancholiness to appeal to the costumers are certainly unusual choices. Also, look closely to the details she put in the hair of her drawings. It is just amazing.

These drawings are from Elle Russia that was issued in March 2010.
