Whether you favor cubism or abstract impressionism (or slept through art history altogether), it's a pretty standard commonality that a girl in a pretty dress is always a muse-worthy subject matter. In this dot-splotched lookbook shot by Alistair Guy, model Alys looks pretty as a painting in an array of asymmetrical cocktail numbers with a fine-arts-major edge. These Olivia Rubin designs mix pinks, blues, and peaches with black contour lines and heels fit for sauntering into any gallery with ease. We hope she isn't missing too much class time to pose for the camera, but if the masterpieces surrounding her are any indication of her talents, she's going to pass with flying colors. (Alistair Guy)
Much too often, the tribal trend means slapping an ikat print on a dress and calling it a day. But when it comes to traditional aesthetics, there's tons of material to love and draw inspiration from. Aussie designer Tina Kalivas' latest collection left us slack-jawed with pieces that are at once an exercise in ebullience and restraint. Reappropriating traditional African pattern-making, her collection is filled with mesmerizing prints splashed on streamlined silhouettes. The peplumed skirts would look stunning with a slouchy, black sweater or a sleek buttoned-up shirt, and we're going gaga for that printed, stunner of a dress with the hip ruffles and sexy princess bodice. The best part? There's not a stupid leather sandal or wooden accessory in the whole lookbook. Brava, Tina!
Confession: We were quick to deem the first batch of photos from Stella McCartney's lingerie line for Benton Ltd. as a premature step towards joining the AARP. Cranking up the sexy time factor this time around, the official lookbook is little less granny and a little more "I'm-so-carefree-in-these-undies-I'm-gonna-roll-around-in-a-field." We're still a little skeptical about those bum-flattening silk shorts and that strawberry print set, but the ruffled, floral bra and black lace cardigan (hopefully a diffused version from her eponymous line) are chic enough for the time being. (Stella)
We're sticklers about recycling here, and every week, we curb all our old magazines, scrap paper, and newspapers—though, we couldn't bear to part with the latest Bodkin lookbook printed on newsprint. Shot by Tina Tyrell, the lookbook features two of our favorite things: Special yet easy-to-wear pieces and lots of snacking (on granola—get it?). Designer Eviana Hartman has really thought outside the organic (and recyclable, we're sure) box to make chic, modern pieces with none of those hemp-poncho undertones. Our personal pick? The lightweight, navy, two-piece suit that we can't wait to wear all spring long. (Bodkin)
Perhaps we're experiencing a little bit of cabin fever because after flipping through Acne's "Pop Classics" spring 2010 collection, we're yearning for a wee rural rendezvous. In the brand's first full women's collection for the lower-priced line, Johnny Johansson draws inspiration from Neil Young's album "Harvest Moon" to create an assortment of perfect, go-to basics. A white button-down mini and cream grandpa sweater paired with bold, leopard print oxfords, indigo patchwork shorts topped with a dark denim jacket, and a pastel blue playsuit mixed with chunky, burnt-sienna wedges have us itching for an extended weekend trip to wear the line to. And with lower prices, we'll definitely be giving our wardrobes the Acne treatment come spring.
After a three year run as design director at cashmere company TSE, the ever sophisticated Tess Giberson is flying solo once more—and we're welcoming her spring '10 collection with open arms. The trademarks are all present: Classic black and white combos, practical knits paired with softly tailored wovens, and a touch of asymmetry to keep the whole thing interesting. The minimalist spring silhouettes and strong design details make for the perfect blend of in-your-face understatement. Tess never was one for the fashion industry spotlight, but we can bet she'll have a hard time avoiding attention once this collection catches on.
