Givenchy: Spring ❘ Summer 2010

Givenchy NEVER ceases to amaze me. This is one brand that really COMES HARD when they come hard, which is why they are probably one of my top favorite designers.




Not only did I post this for attention towards the menswear of the collection this season, but for a more specific detail. Do you recall a few months ago I noted an intriguing conversation a friend of mine and I had during dinner? In the post entitled "Fashion Post Recession" my friend and I predicted the dramatic yet pleasant return of PRINTS! I stated my belief is,

"fashion will come back to life bigger and bolder than before. Specifically I am referring to prints. BOLD, interesting, even inspiring prints will return. ...pointing out African and Native American prints."

And here it is manifested in full form. A movement towards the dramatic yet pleasant return of prints. Seeing as we're nearing close to the end of this recession, America will have the opportunity to appreciate as well as embrace a strong international brand such as Givenchy. Not only do I love this line, it totally coincides with the Egyptian look I've recently found myself obsessed with. Spring 2010? Boom.

These run for about 1700 US dollars. I never wanted something material so bad in my life. Wearing a pair of these would be like a dream come true, but unfortunately paying rent is a must.

Looking Back

Ali Stephens, Cole Mohr & Marcel Castenmiller by David Vasiljevic


This post is in relation to my Barney's CO-OP post on September 29th. I was in too much of a hurry to conjure a note as to why it interested me so much. [In relation to the previous post...] Along with the concept and the styling, I really loved these editorials because of their clear depictions of stylish/styled/fly couples. "Looking Back" has to be thee most appropriate title imaged; it's kind of scary.
- Damn. We really were one of the flyest couples in Boston.
