Putty and Persimmon


Spring '11 is shaping up to be one chic season.

I'm loving all the luxe minimalism of relaxed sportswear shapes grounded in new bone, putty, and ceramic colored neutrals. A fresh, sunny kick of pumpkin, persimmon and marigold make the look new and add a sense of urban exoticism.

All a girl needs is subtle tan (fresh from her winter vacation, o
f course!) and easy, breezy hair to keep the look youthful and quietly sexy.



These are a Thinking Woman's clothes, and the play between unwavering geometric lines and bold fluidity remind me of the monumental cast-concrete works of Rachel Whiteread and the hypnotically flowing draped pieces by Christo and Jean-Claude.

Somehow these contrasting works speak to me about the same things: The natural meeting the man-made. Touch and tactility. Uncomprimising boldness that also holds an inherent softness.

Throw in some quietly self-reflective Japonism and call it CHIC!

Summer has just ended but I'm already dreaming of next Spring....sigh
