It’s back-to-school period and our young girl is filled with anxiety going to college at Yale. As a freshwoman from uptown and about to integrate an Ivy league world, you have to dress to impress. The ’80s style may not be the best suit for a student when going in such serious and traditional university – her closet needed a serious clean up. Then she remembered there was always that stash where her grand-mother’s clothes used to be left for heritage. Lucky girl she was, her grandma’ had a lavish lifestyle, inside that trunk a couple of vintage tweed suits, a fox-fur vest, long cape coats, cashmere knee socks, foxy leg warmers, plaid shirt dress, a couple of bags quilted in jacquard patterns, a pair of beautiful dressy shoes and many more. Now our freshie is all set to rock her college life in fashion.
The inspiration behind Louis Vuitton’s pre-fall 2010 is laid out in this story. Julie de Libran, who designed the collection, developed what may be the theme of LV in the next 2 collections. Next season, Blair Waldorf will be happy, no more afro wigs and furry clogs. The collection is thought for the uptown preppy girl (think Ali McGraw). Directly inspired from the elegant and glamorous 60’s with a couple of 30’s shoes, I am happy to feel LV is back to luxury once again. One of my highlights of this pre-fall collection is the lamé texture on the bags and the pink/brown cape coat, I’ve never seen it before on LV and it disturbs me in a good way.
