sonia rykiel resort 2011

Sonia Rykiel's Resort 2011 collection is a genius combination of menswear, sheer tops, 1940s era silhouettes, and Art Deco geometric shapes. And I love the mix of chestnut brown and black.

My favorites? The chestnut suit with the matching tie top, sheer blouse and high waisted crop pants, and the black suspender trousers with the loose feminine bow blouse.

You can view the entire collection here.

Sewing Saturday tomorrow!

erin fetherston resort 2011 collection

These Erin Fetherston Resort 2011 photos were released nearly a month ago, and I'm still struggling to find a 2011 collection I love more. The simple French elegance of it all is really hard to beat. The collection was inspired by Jean-Jacques Annaud's L'Amant (The Lover), a film set in French Indochina in the 1920's.

My favorite pieces? The silky nude peter pan collar blouse, the high waisted marbled jeans, the rose colored dress with bow. I love the contrast of the silky blouses with the structured jackets, the abundance of cigarette trousers, and the lack of color (why does black and white work so well together?). I wonder if they're selling that amazing hat.
