70’s Sleek and Chic! Angelica Houston and Jack Nicholson were the epitome of glamour and style in the 1970’s. Their looks were simple and classically American and were no doubt the inspiration for many of the looks on this season’s runways.
How many times have I watched Pride and Prejudice? Too many to count. How many Masterpiece period dramas have I watched? All of them. So when I saw Brock Collection’s Spring/Summer 2020 runway show, I saw my chance to live (or at least look) like Elizabeth Bennet. I was fortunate enough to visit Kinross House, just outside of Edinburgh, Scotland and I found the perfect setting for my personal reverie. Here are my favorite looks from Brock Collection and others that work perfectly for a rendezvous with Mr. Darcy.
I’ve been really loving the desert recently, probably because summer in San Francisco is generally cold and foggy and I’m craving the hot, dry sauna of the desert. Quite a few looks this season channeled the old-timey, western feeling that the desert can make you think of; a very Westworld vibe. What fun it would be to transport these looks back in time to the West that once was!
Valentino’s day-glo looks for Spring/Summer 2020 immediately brought to mind the beautiful art installation Seven Magic Mountains by Swedish artist Ugo Rondinone, which sits just outside Las Vegas. Both are beautiful, playful uses of color.
