Although I usually feature clothing I myself would wear, I can appreciate beautiful clothing that would never work on me. I’m pretty sure I’ve featured Emma Cook previously, but I haven’t looked at any of her recent collections for some time. Cook’s line emphasizes a wispy, feminine aesthetic dominated by flowing silhouettes, lace, and embroidery. As you can see however, this femininity isn’t at all treacley or cutesy. So, while I would feel like a complete idiot wearing most of these pieces, I have no problem admiring the work. I’ve posted pics from the Resort 2010 collection.
I’ve featured Magda Berliner on here many times before and she’s still one of my favourite independent designers. Her Fall 07 collection is featured below. It’s good to see that she’s still using lace for many of her pieces, even though it’s no longer the latest trend.
How excited was I to see character shoes on her and the model’s feet? I’ve had character shoes on my what-to-wear list since last year-really! Ah, synchronicity.
