I just did a clear out of my summer clothes, since in the summer I couldn't bring myself to get rid of them. And now I need to look at what I will be wearing in the Spring/Summer. From what I can tell there where alot of vintage influences on the designers and girly is back!!! Hooray!
One thing that I have an issue with is the hemlines being so high, but it's fashion, and each to their own.
Anna Sui
I love the first look because it's preppy and looks clean, and cute all at once. The second look is the perfect compromise for work. It's cute and it's a simple suit, with the girly blouse underneath.
Chanel
It's no surprise that Chanel inspires me as per usual. The white dress is classic and the ruffles give it the girly edge that I'm looking for in most clothes. The red ensemble seems like it's taken the 80's look from this season and taken it back to the inspiration for the 80's: the 40's. I like that it could be worn for work, and I'm drawn to reds anyway.
The first look screams Chanel to me. It's the summer interpretation of their current collection. The second dress is the way I think I'll wear the sheer look, in a 50's inspired dress, with slips underneath.
The first one here reminds me of the 60's, because of the clean lines and the sharp contrast between the black and the white. The blue dress, like the white one shown earlier is girly, and is the perfect colour for the spring.
This is the last of the Chanel inspirations, I love dogtooth this season and love that it is going to be carried on to next season. I'm planning on making a dress inspired by this, but with a bit more of a vintage cut (length).
Dior
Dior on the other hand looked back to the 30's and 40's for inspiration. The silhouettes, hair, make-up and colours are all reminiscent of the 40's.
Moschino Cheap & Chic
Graphic prints dominated at Mochino Cheap & Chic, and it looks like they took a lot of inspiration from the 60's. I love the polka dots in these looks and the ruffles on the dress.
I'm not usually a fan of maxi dresses but I love the print on this first dress, and the mix of the colours. Personally I'd like to see something like this as a shift dress that stops on the knee or just above it. The second look is just adorable and I couldn't help but love the peter pan collar.
Vivienne Westwood - Red Label
Two very different looks here, but the first one follows the girly, pink look that carries on from the other collections that has inspired me. The second look I like the jacket and waistcoat. I love the tailoring and the cool work look that it could be a part of.
I hope you like all of this, what is inspiring you for spring/summer?
