Ok. Love it or hate it...its happening. Disco is creeping its way back into our lives. Ok, well for some of us, this will be the first go 'round at it.
I know some of you may be holding yourselves back from gagging right now, but I gotta tell you...I think I am into it! What is making me go over the top?? One guess...the color! It's like a fruit salad ran away with a bunch pomegranates, and picked up some eggplant along the way for good measure. (I know that didn't make any sense...) I also love the idea of pairing them down with a range of camels. AND, really, who can do over-the-top, yet wearable better than Marc Jacobs?
It's fun, it's girly, and vampy all at the same time. I love how last season is was all about the 50's and those plunging bustlines. It's like it's ok to a WOMAN again! It all really feels like a party! Of course I am on board with anything that has a sense of joie de vivre about it! You can really pull some amazing color palettes from this trend and play with lots of color blocking....hmmm....

I know everyone is dying for the end of winter, but the fashion calendar moves to it's own rhythm! I was researching what I think is going to be happening this fall for a project and came across Jason Wu's pre-fall collection. Swoon, to say the least. I love they way his pieces are so structured, but he never forgets what a woman wants. His work is refined , but always delivers a sense of whimsy as well. For spring Marc Jacobs really lit things on fire with a total disco revival. I love the way Wu plays with a shape from that era, but makes it totally modern with this amazing color (above right).
For sure look for red this fall as a key color. Another key thing I am looking forward to is updated stripes. Prada started things off this spring, and I think things will continue on into fall.
