Jonathan Saunders Spring/Summer 2013

Jonathan Saunders drew his inspiration from Hungarian French op artist, Victor Vasarely’s art work, who was also known as ‘king of the dots’. The precision with which Saunders combined colours with geometric (honeycomb) pattern was outstanding and is definitely going to add all the drama that a stylish boy can add to his Spring 2013 wardrobe.

Tory Burch Resort 2013

Tory Burch’s inspiration for her Resort 2013 collection was the picturesque Amalfi Coast in Italy, where she vacationed last year with her three sons."This is the landscape that from the top of the Path of the Gods opens at our glance.it is the scenery of that Amalfi Coast extreme cove, looking west and towards the Isle of Capri that rapid and sultry coast with the crystalline mountains, where are abandoned today's Gods and where to discover a lost, Mediterranean, past, new oneself ..." – Yes these are the words used by writer D.H Lawrence  to describe the beauty of Amalfi. This is the place where Lawrence wrote his most famous and controversial Novel – Lady Chatterly’s Lover.

Salvatore Ferragamo Resort 2013

For me the collection was no less than a Bohemian Rhapsody – a celebration of free spirit.Prestigious Parisian museum, the Louvre was the venue for Salvatore Ferragamo’s Resort 2013 collection. Salvatore Ferragamo created a history as this is the first time that the iconic Louvre had hosted a runway show. The bohemian inspired collection was all about today’s free spirited women who accept modernity and culture with ease.

Prabal Gurung Resort 2013

The Resort 2013 collection by Prabal Gurung was inspired by the work of Aaron Moran, a Canadian artist who is well known for his famous wood sculptures. The line up by the designer had a strong influence of Moran’s geometric sculpture. The asymmetrical collection with a pops of bold colors like neon, aqua & red, injected with a dose of graphic & digital prints combined with peplum definitely made the collection different and unconventional – something that was new. 

Gucci Resort 2013 (Reincarnation of Classic Flora Prints)

For inspiration of the collection, creative director Frida Giannini took inspiration from the 50’s Flora print silk scarf that was made for beautiful Grace Kelly on her personal request. The collection with a nostalgic feel was given a new interpretation by Frida that was a balanced blend of classic and contemporary fashion. 

Marc Jacobs Resort 2013

Marc Jacobs Resort 2013 collection was inspired by well known American photographer and film director Cindy Sherman’s series of clown portrait. With its explosive floral & 70’s prints, bright colors, multi layering, unusual color combination, odd silhouettes & proportions the collection is indeed intense, bold and completely unconventional. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that that collection is a mirror to the eccentric nature of the world that we live in.
