Dolce & Gabbana
The economy is in the dumps, Republicans might be annoyed and - sadly - Americans are still obese, but that's no reason to make the clothes suffer. In fact, the 2009 Spring Collections are showing all their best colors and prints: golds, reds, greens, pinks, purples, florals, plaids and 20th Century Russian-inspired abstract patterns (merci, Chanel). Learning their lesson from the Drab Depression of the 20s, modern-day designers know that the way we feel is often mirrored by the way we look and vice versa. So buh-bye grey potato sack, purposely pilled fabrics and heavy shoes.
Taking a cute from Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Dries Van Noten, Marc Jacobs and the AMAZING Rodarte (among others), my prescription for unemployment blues, real estate anemia, credit measles and any other (temporary) state of material being is to fill your wardrobe with juicy colors, louder-than-Rachael Ray prints, 3D flourishes and comfy silhouettes that both flatter and comfort.
We will get through these less-than-festive times and we will do it looking lovely! Check out a few of my favorites...
