These girls are ready for the hawk (my dad's old school Southern phraseology for freezing cold weather) and the runway. In luscious shades of tawny, camel, russet and beige, they are indeed bringing chicness back. I am so sick of the Gossip Girl-esque look right now, I could spit. The Gossip Girl look is the spin-off of the Sex in the City look which is equally annoying. It is like they all raided the contemporary floor at Bloomingdales, shopped feverishly at Forever 21, picked up a shit load of Claire's Boutique accessories and then threw everything on at once. I could truly use some sophistication, rich textures, good proportion and a woman who understands and embraces good taste. This is about a lushness and mix of textures and hues that is light years beyond the over ruffled, too short, too juvenile styles that we see all too often.

KRIZIA - OVERDRIVE


KRIZIA amazingly was created in 1950 by Mariuccia Mandelli. It had it's true moment from the 1970's through the early 90's . This ad campaign from the 80's is what KRIZIA was all about - ethnic influence, knits, shape, mad mixes of texture and a little dash of whimsy. I am living for the silhouettes and the spirit - it's all very Genghis Khan, Mongol warrior meets Star Trek meets grandma's knits meets court jester.
