My Inspiration

One designer who has always influenced my thinking and appreciation  of fashion is Ralph Lauren. I have always been drawn to his unique approach to tailored and fitted clothing for women, yet creates the most feminine and  exquisite gowns pulling a 360 on his norm of fashion. His Fall 2009 collection combined a scruffy "Oliver-twist" theme as noted on (style.com). However his theme evolves into a see of soft pastel silhouettes with combinations of mini's and maxi, mixing heavier fabrics with delicates. There is always a costume aesthetic to his work, yet thats what fashion should be - dressing up. Here are some of my favourite looks from his Fall 2009 collection.

Peace,
