Big Trouble in Lil China

          Spring & pre-fall came & went and if I were to try to turn this into some sort of witty metaphor I'd go in some sort of international buffet type of shpeal cuz they be all multi-cultural up in here. As a matter of fact we're seeing this "ethnic" feel across the board which actually trickled over from the previous 2012 collections.

(I.E.)

Chanel's Punjabi Princess
Pre-fall 2012

Si Señora at Emilio Pucci
Pre-fall 2012

         Bringin it back to what's happenin here & now... Our dear friends the designers took a liking to the asian bistro aisle of said buffet and got all sorts of oriental on us.

Ar-I-Got what ya saying at Dries Van Noten

Now, before you start bustin out your Madame Butterfly get ups from middle school (you know you have them) I recommend you keep those in the archives because what we've got on our hands is a whole 'nother beast. 

Confucius say......

                We'll see these translated in 3 different ways:

1. Graphic Tees : Duh, much like the long sleeve tunic at Dries Van Noten.

2. Mandarin collar + sheath dress: Mostly taken after the Jason Wu dresses

3. Traditional japanese landscape all-over prints: i.e. Proenza Schouler & Dries Van Noten.

Well that about wraps this one up, time to take the chopsticks out of our hair and get to steppin to the next trend.

Hasta Luego!
