Designer Reem Acra Talks Stevie Nicks

[SisterNightroad]

Stevie looks gorgeous in red because even if she has light skin she has a rather warm skin undertone.
Is armocromy popular in the US?
Recently I started reading about it and I was curious to know about Stevie's color season; I've come to think she's a "Bright Spring"

1. Givenchy: The ’70s With a Twist




Sheesh, if Riccardo Tisci’s fall collection doesn’t move the fashion needle, nothing will.

There’s been a strong element of the ’70s in the collections for fall—following on the spring trend. Most designers have been pretty literal. Chloe’s Clare Waight Keller showed a Stevie Nicks-like collection on Sunday (to Fleetwood Mac music) that was hippy and swishy and roundly lovely, but it didn’t move the needle.

Tisci masterfully touched on a theme that was rife in the ’70s—a reverence for the Renaissance—but twisted it into futurism. Facial jewelry, embroidery creating Gothic crosses on black dresses, animal tails forming fringe on a fur jacket, tuxedo tails on suits, peasant-style dresses in black velvet—it was a cornucopia of fashion and his strongest collection in recent memory.

OK, the nose adornments looked comically like mustaches. All the better to sear that collection into memory.

Chloé Fall / Winter 2015



Pubblicato il 08 mar 2015
PARIS — Sunday during Fashion Week in the French capital is many things, but suffice it to say Chloé dominates late afternoon. So breezy and effortlessly cool on an endlessly sunny patch of this blue earth is the Chloé Girl that nothing but a daylight showing would do Clare Waight Keller’s collection justice. This clear-eyed enthusiasm for life expressed with a Stevie Nicks lilt was made manifest Sunday afternoon on the runway at Grande Palais by none other than Ieva Palionyte, Hedvig Palm, Yana Van Ginneken, and Binx. The models rounded the enormous runway before a capacity audience to Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 classic “Dreams,” which captured succinctly the mood of the collection’s powder tones and menswear accents. Chloe Girls running the world might well be a thing of dreams, but so long as this collection sees the light of day it will no doubt inspire everyone who touches it to dream their very own Sunday afternoon dreams.
