PFW (Better late than never)
I narrowed down my list of lovelies as much as possible, but this was as small of a list as I could get with the insanity of this season in Paris…thank goodness I already covered Dries and Chanel otherwise this post would have gone for days. Honestly, I’m not quite over the Chanel show…it swims through my head at least twice a day and probably will until I get to see it in person come February. Though, like Paris, each of these collections have stolen my heart and inspired me in many different ways.

MFW SS12
It seems like a life time ago that models stomped Spring ‘12 Italian threads down the runway, but it’s only been a week! It’s been a long one in my world here in Copenhagen…though just long enough that I had some time to review the shows and post my favorite presentations. The trends popular in NY and London stayed strong, with quite a focus on the 50’s and 60’s. The major houses put on fantastical shows as usual leaving bloggers, stylists and editors with stories dancing in their perfectly fashioned heads, but my absolute favorite collection was from a younger label Ter et Batine. It was simple and smart with just a dash of neon to get me reeling…neon shoes to be exact. If I have one big purchase for Spring it will be a pair of these day glo digs!

Sharon Wauchob and Edun’s Storytellers and Liars Collection
I love this short film by digital artists Anita Fontaine and Geoffrey Lillemon [Champagne Valentine] for Edun’s new Storytellers and Liars collection. “The second outing from the brand’s designer Sharon Wauchob, the range explores the new meanings that stories take on as they are passed down through generations, a concept reflected in the juxtaposed prints, textures and colors. Champagne Valentine built on this enigmatic theme in the interactive design by using opaquely layered watercolor effects and idyllic, earthy imagery to conjure up a folkloric online realm for the Edun customer.” (source: http://www.nowness.com/)Edun: Storytellers and Liars on Nowness.com.
Sharon Wauchob is a significant character in my small story as a designer…her show was the first fashion show I ever saw. It was Paris Fashion Week in Oct 2004, I was just about to start at JOSEPH and was interning for Fashion Wire Daily when Godfrey Deeny told me to grab my things because I was going with him to the Wauchob show! It was an experience I will never forget, walking into the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts to full capacity crowd of Parisian A-listers and finding my SEAT (what!?) I had one of those moments where everything around you becomes white noise and you are kind of floating…uhh okay weird story short, I knew this was my path. Your firsts are always special so from that moment on I followed Sharon’s career. I even ran into her a few months later at a showroom in le Marais on an errand for JOSEPH. It’s funny how paths cross and what one can take from the most casual of encounters…leave it to me to find meaning in such a thing. It is only fitting that she is now head of one of the most successful ethical brands of our time, and paving the way for young sustainable designers like myself… building those stories that have yet to be told of eco-warriors that saved our future… A few looks from Edun’s SS12 collection…
