When the lights went down inside the Plaza Hotel’s ballroom last night for Thakoon‘s spring summer show the soundtrack said “Old Western” while the curated smell was more suited to an Indian spice market. The vibrant collection followed suit, starting with cowboy hats and yoked western shirts before morphing into sari-inspired dresses saturated in bright colors and flecked with gold. So how did the designer get from one point to the next? “I started with the whole cowboy thing,” Thakoon said, backstage after his show, “the idea of romantic America, this notion that’s sort of lost really, not America anymore but this coolness of cowboys, this free spirit. Then, when we were doing print research—looking at bandannas and paisleys—that kind of led us to India.” Like fall’s winning collection, which also merged two disparate cultures—the Masai and Versailles—it worked. The pink hair and colorful cowboy hats made for a fun runway experience but it’s the little dresses we expect to see everywhere come spring. “I always feel like I do red carpet in a way that’s not red carpet,” Thakoon said when asked about the collection’s Hollywood-potential. “It’s like our evening stuff is usually with flats.” Maybe that’s why we like it so much? As for exactly which fashion forward starlet he’d love to see don a spring frock first, he was speechless: “My brain is fried.”

THAT JE NE SAIS QUOI
The next stop on our fashion design school travels take us to ESMOD, in the land of the eternally chic (Paris of course!).
Stars, stripes, alphabet soup and more bring in this week’s Statement Prints collection and Styled Outfits with a thunderous roar. Full of fall essentials in loud but memorable patterns, you’ll be sure to make an impression from class to the fashion week stomping grounds of the Jardin des Tuileries. A bit of rock, a bit of M.I.A., and a jumble of references including galactic phenomena compose the bulk of the looks—giving you the best of the season in all its printed glory.
Be sure not to miss the collection’s crown jewels—a teal chiffon dress in Big Bang of star-studded print matter and fiery fall coat—the stuff of lecture legend!

- Viimeksi (kauan sitten) tein postauksen vaaleasta ja naisellisesta asusta, ja nyt teen tumman ja naisellisen asun. Tummissakin voi olla naisellinen! Jotenkin itselleni tulee asusta mieleen ranskalainen henkilö, johtuu ehkä tuosta baskerista.

You could hear the collective gasp at the start of Jill Stuart’s show. No, it wasn’t the fact that a Ramones-centric playlist was soundtracking the designer’s ultra-feminine, bedtime-tropical dresses, but rather, that just about every shoe stomping down the runway was a winner. There were black patent sandals with gold glitter platforms (think of them as the warm weather version of this season’s Miu Miu), brown snakeskin strappy shoes with a neon pink band around the very base of the heel, and a pair of lip-accented Mary Janes among the line-up. The front row—Jamie King, Whitney Port, Cory Kennedy, and Harley Viera-Newton—looked like it was in the midst of a game of Telephone, with attendees mouthing, “I love these shoes,” to one another. As people filed out at the end of the shoe, “Oh-my-god-those-shoes!” became the constant refrain. But Scream 4 actress Emma Roberts, an avowed Jill Stuart fan, admitted that there was another shoe she would be lusting after while waiting for the spring ’12 designs to hit stores: “Isabel Marant boots,” she said. That’s not the only item on her fall ’11 must-have list: “There’s also an army green Proenza Schouler bag that I’m dying for!”
