Fashion is my main interest so for my blog this week I decided to look for articles about upcoming fashion. In the New York times I found a very interesting piece about the imminent trends for the spring/summer collections. The designers showing at Fashion Week in London had many odd but yet brilliant inspirations for their designs. The inspirations ranged from the video game Pac Man, including clothing that have, "couture glamour, bringing the techno-savvy of the modern world to high fashion." To The Flintstones with clothing including, "a cheeky mix of an animal print top and a skirt breaking in waves of scallops over the thighs." Its hard for me to imagine any of these designs on actual people. However, when I look at pictures of the outfits its clear that all the pieces work together in a more then creative way.
One design team that really stuck out to me was that of Graeme Fidler and Michael Herz. Thier collection titled Aquascutum showed a verity of clothing in various shades of blue. The collection also showed lots of chic rain gear tying into the Aquascutum theme even more. I feel that its important to read about things like fashion in other countries because it broadens your horizons and hopefully inspires you to dip your toes in other cultures!
