Colenimo S/S 2011 Lookbook


A picture is worth a thousand words... or is it a thousand stitches? This photograph, taken in 1928 by famous Vogue fashion photographer Edward Stelchen, was the inspiration for Aya Nakagawa's, designer of Colemino, Spring/Summer 2011 collection. While the hand-stitched adornment, vintage fabrics, and muted color pallet, make this collection truly reminiscent of the late 1920's, each garment remains timeless.

Carven


In honor of the fact that I wore heels the past two days, as opposed to those dreaded snow boots,  I decided it's time to start posting about the lovely spring collections this season has to offer. I've been anxiously waiting to write about the french label, Carven, for quite sometime now.  Each look is somewhat androgynous, yet still remains flirtatious and effortlessly chic. The masculine inspired aspects of the collection are perfectly contrasted by the high waisted feminine silhouettes, and delicate color pallet. Oh, and don't even get me started on those shoes! They are perfect, absolutely perfect. Spring, I beg of you, please come sooner rather than later! I'm sick of bundling up and trying to avoid slipping on that dirty city snow.
