it's spring time in the world of fashion.
when i think of spring, the paintings by my favorite Impressionist genius Claude Monet definitely comes to mind. above is one of his many exquisite works, The White Water Lilies (1899. oil on canvas). i love his use of color and texture. especially the way he treats every individual surface as its own spot of light. sheer brilliance, i tell you. just looking at the painting gives you a feeling of serenity. like every thing's so calm and beautiful. it makes you want to drive and take a picnic on the countryside.
well. some designers were probably thinking the same thing as they took inspiration from their scenic road trips from Milan to Paris for this season's S/S 09 runway shows.
i think Lanvin did it the best. the sandals, i love.
a more casual look from Burberry Prorsum.
Junya Watanabe's nostalgic twist.
lastly, Moschino takes it to the upper crust.
somehow, the look reminds me of one of my best-loved films, the Age of Innocence (1993) starring the breathtaking Michelle Pfeiffer. i know i'll blog about that movie sooner or later. but for the meantime, a stroll in Central Park, anyone?
