Spring/Summer
I’ve been loving the romantic, airy, voluminous dresses from Cecilie Bahnsen for a few seasons now. The just released Spring 2020 collection is no different. Just as beautiful as always. Below are my Top Ten picks from this season’s runway.
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!
Ok this is actually a top 12. Phillip Lim has been a long time favorite of mine. No matter the season, I know I’m going to love everything that walks down the runway. Simple, a little sporty, modern, and clean, I would wear Lim head to toe if I could.
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.
Technically, this is a Top Ten, but the detailing of Thom Browne is always so spectacular, I had to include some of my favorite detail shots. Tailored and nautical, with a generous nod to Marie Antoinette and French patriotism ; only Thom Browne could combine all this into a truly beautiful and whimsical experience. It’s hard to choose the best looks from so many astonishing creations, but I’ve done my best to pick my favorites.
