What I learned from Fashion Week

John Gilliano is bringing back the Jackie O.
Dior Line 08/09
How I would design a website based on this-Mod is back. Black is always classic. Having a nice pattern frame out the actual content, will frame the goods well. In this case, her face and hair.

Bruno Pieters makes ties trendy again.-YEAH!!
Fall Winter 2008/2009
How I would design a website based on this-Feminine design can be serious too! Gray is the best neutral, but it`s drab alone. A touch of red accentuating the main areas creates an attention point, highlighting what matters. Tone on tone also makes the piece visually interesting. A girl can play like a boy and look good too!

I love this one! Designer Rajesh Pratap Singh sets up a white stage, a bright color and a neutral.
Fall Winter 2008/2009
How I would design a website based on this-If you are going to use bright colors in the main content area frame them with white and/or black. Neutral colors offer the eyes a resting place when the colors are bright. Bright colors should be used lightly!

That to pull this Martin Margiela look you need to be 6 foot 3 inches and 90 pounds.
Fall Winter 2008/2009
How I would design a website based on this-Well… I love earthy neutrals. They will always and forever be chic!

What is out for fall winter 2008/2009- prints, crazy backgrounds, over embellished pieces.
It`s really easy to keep your designs fresh. Although it is easy to look to peers for inspiration, the best anyone can do is just to look around! If you can draw inspiration from a rock, you got a gift. If what your inspiration produces is beautiful, you got a classic.
Love,
Elaine
