Prada Mondrian shift dress
This dress by Prada
reminds me of the Mondrian dresses designed by Yves St Laurent in
1965. Mondrian (1872-1944), a Dutch painter, was an important member
of the De Stijl, who lived and worked in the Netherlands after the First
World War. This dress is reminiscent of his earlier work of the
twenties and thirties. YSL designed a collection of mod clothing
inspired by his work.
I love that Mucchia Prada opted for for the dropped-waist,
straight-up-and-down silhouette of the twenties flapper-and the sixties
dolly bird for the Prada Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear collection. I hope to
see many flapperdresses in the shops soon.

Giles
Giles Spring 2012 RTW
"This is so not a collection about Black Swan," Giles Deacon
said backstage before his show in London. Rather, it was a panoply of
interlocking, stream-of-consciousness references. The Silver Swan, the
automaton from the Bowes Museum near Deacon's hometown in County Durham,
led to society swans photographed by Cecil Beaton, whom the designer
dubbed "the Andy Warhol of his day." Deacon was also influenced by
Beaton's Symphony in Silver portrait of his sister Baba; that led him to Warhol's Factory and Silver Clouds, which cued the runway backdrop.
