best of pre-fall clothing decor 2011Proenza Schouler and Zac Posen stole pre-fall 2011 with stellar wicked collections. It was muy difícil to narrow down just a few favourites from the line up... so I didnt hold back, nor should I.<div><br /></div><div>Albeit at Zac Posen the leopard prints and silhouettes are not ground breaking and could become gimmicky on a mass market level as knock off labels attempt to bring the same cache to their depressing brands. Yet there is something refreshing in the presentation of exaggerated make-up, curvaceous silhouettes emphasizing the womanly figure beyond size 6 and lovely layering of fur, cameo knit sweaters and prints combined. I was entranced to say the least.</div><div><br /></div><div>While at Proenza Schouler they brought another knock out punch of pure talent. It's like they saw my dreams and brought it to reality... is that too arrogant to say? Ooooops. In all honesty though the collection is the definition of an idea, vision, and hard-work transformed into a tangible substance. The cohesion is impeccable and in no way a literal translation from the source of inspiration. The fabrics themselves tell a story, however are cut in fresh styles. From my perspective the gaucho inspiration has been circulating for the last few seasons now (and will continue to grow strong). Although this collection does not read argentine gaucho by any means, the native indigenous use of eastern silks and wools continues the movement.</div><div><br /></div><div>Well I would love to continue on this rant, however I am about to board a plane... the boarding call as I type. </div><div><br /></div><div>Hasta proximo vez.</div><div><div><br /></div><div><img

To be more accurate, the photos I collected off the web have been saved on file for almost a year. And during this time I was building up to the moment of how I would share these photos while correlating them with my own and while cleverly arranging them in brilliant way. This task become more stressful then I thought because I was never satisfied with how I was going to present the material... what to do... what to do...</span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Georgia; min-height: 14.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><br /></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Georgia"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Of course there was a whole rhythm and plan intended.

We were on a Greek Island with a bus load of backpackers. During "orientation" as we introduced ourselves, I heard this quite voice say "Argentina!". I turned my head to connect the voice to the person. Immediately I thought, "Wow, Argentina, I've never considered this a place to travel and explore before" I knew nothing about this country but I knew I had to go! For four days I was intrigued by this gentlemen. He was quite, rather shy, and handsome in a mysterious way. We never spoke until the day he left, at which time I bluntly said "Mr. Argentina, you are leaving already?". I certainly have a way with words, don't I?!</span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Georgia; min-height: 14.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><br /></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Georgia"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">From here on during our trip I was interested to learn more about this country. I wanted to know more about the history & culture. Like a moth to the flame, I felt like I was being drawn to Argentina and knew that I would be traveling there in my near but distant future. Weeks later I met Mr. Argentina numero dos. This confirmed it, I had to see this country for myself. And you may be thinking... did I want to see the country or the men?! Both to be honest, but I knew my source of inspiration and future lied ahead en route to Buenos Aires and from then on forward. There have been a few instances in my life thus far, where instinctually I knew from that mere moment my life as I formally knew it was about to change. That orientation on the Greek island was one of those moments, where I saw a flash of what was to come in the next few years. Crazy... maybe, but it has already happening and continuing...</span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Georgia; min-height: 14.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><br /></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Georgia"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">One year later, almost to the day, I arrived in Buenos Aires. It was the summer of 2009, (the winter season of Argentina). I spent 3 amazing weeks with great friend who resided in the heart of the city. I immersed myself in the culture and tried out my "russian spanish" which I had been teaching myself for months prior. I feel in love with the french architectural influence that is tarnished with latin flavour. There is this incredibly rich history with european influence over the last century. As a result, it has created some of the most beautiful people from around the world in one location, whose beauty shines from within as well as physically. </span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Georgia; min-height: 14.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><br /></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Georgia"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">One area of the city, San Telmo provided much inspiration. It is rich with history of tango on the streets. Today it is filled with great cafes, antiques, galleries and boutiques. I came across this one section of San Telmo that was rather quiet at the time. My initial thoughts were, "wow this would make an incredible photo shoot location!". Thus I captured the area with photos for self reference. Keep in mind for the past year, I had been inspired and drawn to this country and while I was there I was flooded with ideas of inspiration for my next Fall 2010 collection. As my magical trip came to an end along with summer AND as the Fall season approached back home, I had began my story board of colour, mood and style found in the elements of Argentina.</span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Georgia; min-height: 14.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><br /></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Georgia"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Ok, so now you have an idea of how I began this journey and how everything is all related to one another... </span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Georgia; min-height: 14.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><br /></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Georgia"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Keep your eyes pealed as you gaze over the next few posts because what you're about to notice pleasantly surprised me last November 2009 when I discovered my favourite designer of all time used this very location for his Spring 2010 photo shoot campaign photographed months after my trip, in the Fall of 2009. </span></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Georgia"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Georgia"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The photographs in particular that I found intriguing to my own will be included in my following blog posts.
