As we reported previously, two strong trends for Spring 2011 are open-weave fabrics, which fair trade manufacturer KeoK’jay used to put a stamp on L.A. Fashion Week(end)‘s Green Humanitarian runway, and longer hemlines, as shown by green carpet goddess Emily Factor. As if to prove that fashion really is all over the map, may we introduce a third concept into your 2011 sartorial vocabulary: Disco.
Yes, really.
With a major Yves Saint Laurent retrospective in Paris this summer and Le Smoking jackets on runways from Stella McCartney to Lanvin, the plunging necklines, snappy little belts and chiffon ruffles best seen on Faye Dunaway circa “Chinatown” are back—with a vengeance. And nobody does this state of eco-dreaminess better than Kristina Lenss at Kristinit, who seemed to be channeling YSL during her Green Humanitarian runway show in October. Think yards of vintage silk and organic linen, accented by sweetly feminine details like bow clasps and unexpected pleats.
Studio 54, here we come!
