Minimalism...Less is More




Jason Wu, Marc Jacobs and Alexander Wang are just few of designers embracing a new trend. Going back to basics is making it's mark and frankly I'm kind of relieved. I mean for the past couple years all we've been seeing is layer after layer (although I do enjoy layering) bangles after bangles, and blinding colours so shocking you could probably see them in a blizzard., parading down the runway. It's kind of a breather for all of those who are growing a little tired of "Go Big or Go Home" theory. But there is always the argument, "Won't it be boring?" and I can say truthfully I've thought the same thing a few times ( I have this image in my head of girls walking in lines...more like marching and they're all wearing white blouses, black knee length skirts, white knee socks and big fat Mary Janes. But I know these amazing designers won't let my re-occuring dream become a reality) but then I looked back on some of the greatest style icons...Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Jackie O and realized paired with a few statement pieces, classic can be fun! And not to mention very chic.
Muah, Miss Mauve ♥
