Thought on the Trends for Spring 2012

For some themes, forecasts are saying to self-indulge, be selfish and egocentric. Yet ironically, they are also pushing to the opposite direction. They are also telling the world to go back to where they come from and live a simple life..."live a careless life…a "LA" life” even in times of chaos. Who doesn't need one of those lazy-lay-back -at-the-beach-day? Nonetheless, these thoughts are presented in a way that  feels very depressive almot suicidal- an attitude that the world doesn't need at this moment.

So for me there is room for optimistic creativity and inspiration. The world is fill with great wonders and one can’t always run with the flow. It's OK to run against the current and see life with a different magnifying glass.

One thing for sure is that I wouldn't like to get up  every morning and go through my closet and be reminded that my clothes were inspired with the though of having nothing to look for, no hope, no love to the point of committing suicide. That's not a great way to start my day. It's not a good and hopeful feeling. There is actually more to life than despair, hate and agony. Why not give that to the world, a morning energizer full of optimism and confidence.


Yet, I do love the idea that "dressing up" is making a comeback. Thanks to Mad Men let's  say good bye to the ill-fitting clothes and welcome the tailored look of the late 50's and early 60's. There is hope for classic beauty and well made clothes.  The classic silhouettes of those eras remind me of dignity, respect and love for life. Back in those day, just about anyone look dignify and presentable. No matter what life style, the person wearing a well-tailored suit or a nice fitting dress look exceptional. Who can complain about that?
