Salvatore Ferragamo
Salvatore Ferragamo is channeling a scorching summer with this cleansing collection in shades of lemon meringue, creamy grapefruit, and shades of dusty taupe and mauve. Color: the collection started off with full on, head to toe white, yellow slowly became incorporated, hues of dusty colors settled on in and was reinvigorated by citrus spritzes of grapefruit and saturated coral, alternating between melancholic shadows and buoyant citrus, then finally simmering into plays on black.

White-yellow-taupe-coral-taupe-dusty purples-coral-black: a series of colors evocative of a summer day. Starting off light and cleansing and flouncing with life and color throughout the day.
The collection had a notion of conservation; conservation of the body, that is, skin was never a feature. If the legs were exposed, the arms were to be covered up. If the skirt snuggled the thighs, then the bodice would drape away from the breasts. Demure and sexy- alluring.

All in all, Salvatore Ferragamo's proposal for spring/summer '10 was one of great variety for a sophisticated woman. The collection showed a range of coats and architectural but incredibly soft dresses. However, in the label's efforts to show a lot, the collection ended up being disjointed; there were simply too many ideas that relied on color cohesion too much. But hey, beautiful clothes nonetheless.

Hello world,
I've been suffering from fashion anorexia- totally not blogging as much as I would like to. Good news: this coming Sunday (tomorrow), I will be shooting some lookbook photos with my sister; hopefully this will follow up with the creation of my very own lookbook. Exciting! Also, I will start posting my fashion sketches every now and then.
In the mean time, enjoy my favorite photo of the moment, by Tom Palumbo circa 1950's:
