Balenciaga Resort 2011

Brave New Hippie

New York

June 9th and Nicolas Ghesquiere showed his 2011 Resort collection in New York. Taking his incomparable take on graphic print and infusing it into the 70's stable, the maxi and then with an equally innovative hand, casting a new light on that most iconic of image, that of the Pan Am girl. This collection was anything but dull, safe... or any number of words I could use to disparage many Resort collections this season. Love it...

New York Baby

New York

I'm a huge fan of Erin Fetherston and her pretty pretty dresses. This season she showed a 'Nico' inspired collection with pants and play suits, however it was the re-working of the blazer of (which I've now way too many) that really caught my attention.

Grey?

London

Grey, really? I keep hearing that it's the thing to do, let it all grow out. But really it's going to make you look old isn't it. I know that the hyper blond trend was all over the S/S shows and I love a blond myself but grey, I'm passing. This shoot for Dazed was super gorgeous, 1940's stockings, now that's something i'll consider.
