Molly, a girl called Purple…

While fashion changes and evolves throughout time, the one staple favorite that always remains true is the little black dress. This exhibit traced the evolution of the little black throughout history displaying dresses designed from anyone from Marc Jacobs to Chanel. The drape and silhouette and type of fabric changes throughout the exhibit from dress to dress, and while each is original in design they all fall under the little black dress category. The unique selection and array of designers and types of dresses made the exhibit very informative and it was interesting to see how the styles change over time. I really like how they included dresses designed by SCAD graduates as well. It is wonderful to be able to see so many iconic designs all in one place.

The incredibly influential pres 21^st century designer, Madeleine Vionnet, was the queen of the bias cut and fabric draping extraordinaire. After doing a project about her one of the things I found most interesting is how her design aesthetic still lives on today under the Vionnet name. The flowing and clingy garments that she was so well known for are still seen in Vionnet designs today on the runway.

The 1920s quintessential flapper girl is rebellious and high-spirited. Fringed short dresses, bobbed haircuts and sexy makeup.  The Roaring 20s proved to be a very innovative time for fashion design. The style is seen over and over again and has influenced many designers of our time. Personally my favorite example is in Marchesa’s Spring 2012 RTW collection. The collection is full of glamorous fringed gowns in gold and silver and white with similar tubular and straight silhouettes that were seen in the Roaring 20s era. I am not usually drawn to glamour and glitz and gowns, but I think that this collection was put together so beautifully…I love fringe

I have a love for all things old. There is a story behind every old photograph or piece of clothing…whether its vintage or not…whether its 20 years old or made to look so…the muted colors and haze that make it look so far away. One of these photos IS older than me…

Whatever suits my mood…classic Rock ‘n’ Roll vibe…a little bad a little bold…

There is something so mysterious in the whimsical and serene…so feminine and pristine are pastels…there is nothing more interesting and inspiring than the fantastical…it doesn’t ALWAYS have to be purple…
