From space cadets to old-world romantics, designers offer bold visions for spring 007
The metallic shifts of Andre Courreges jets us to the future for a space odyssey of patents, high-gloss and abstract trapeze dresses. At Givenchy and Balenciaga, Darth Vader capes and C-3PO leggings hints late-night Star Wars marathons. Completing the picture were the goddess gowns of extraterrestrial flowing jersey framed by weightless plastic at Versace.
To further the retro-mod attire, eenamaria jams out the 80's groove with the Bedford hobo bag. Metallics and denim, studded and leather, what is your flavor? The comfortable Bedford is a versatile shoulder bag that comes in fourteen different mixes, so don't hesitate to pick your funk.
Leave it to Miuccia Prada to reimagine the forties pinup girl for the twenty-first century woman. Her modern pinups wear high-waisted satin shorts, sleeve blouses, and turbans-the unlikely headgear hit of the season. Legs were the emphasis at Chanel, Giambattista Valli, and Akris, too, but should your legs not be showgirl material, this spring's day dresses capture the retro mood just as well. Carolina Herrera's nip-waisted number is office-ready in charcoal gray and Palph Lauren's strong-shouldered style in black-and-white paisley can go all night.
Kensington Classic Collection is a traditional, mod and hip line that has an understated utility with prime concentration on design. The distinctive Herringbone print and traditional construction is the ideal accessory for the daily life of the Urban Nomad. Kensington Classics allows you to seize the day by providing a chic carry-all, duffel, lap top accessory, and tote, facilitating a last minute jet setting weekend in Kensington, England or a quick hop on the F train in Kensington, Brooklyn.
Tough & Sporty
Get set...designers are lacing up their sneakers and racing to adapt active sportswear concepts to their spring collections. Bet you'd never thought that hoodies, track pants and T-shirt dresses would ever grace couture runways. Dries Van Noten paired his cotton dresses with cool, comfortable high-heeled sneakers. Marni's colorful tunics were teamed with cropped and striped leggings. Jean Paul Gaultier and DKNY showed team spirit with striped top and logos respectively, while Vera Wang accented the runway with touches of royal ballet.
At eenamaria, we have created the perfect companion for every girl on the run. Whether an office meeting or a sports meeting, our hobo with metal grommets will make sure you stay on track. Made from genuine leather, this classic handbag will soften elegantly with time.
Flirty & Romantic
This spring, designers are hoping to pluck the soft, natural beauty of roses and peonies from the garden and plant them on the runways. Thakoon's layered silk bodices were inspired by a bed of petals. at Marchesa, chiffon was folded and tucked to form giant blooms at the shoulder and wrist. Rodarte's outsize blossoms softened the structured dresses and formal gowns. At Alexander McQueen, bouquets spill from the bust of a corseted jacket, while the models at Yves Saint Laurent not only dressed in flowers but also walked through a fragrant aisle of breathing violets.
Feminine and beautiful, eenamaria's lotus bags are sure to catch some sweet attention this spring as well. Made from raw silk, these flower bags are not only pretty but practical as well. It is the perfect accessory to accent that floaty chiffon dress or to soften those tough skinny jeans.
