The Softer Side of Spring

As you have probably noticed, we’ve been skipping over most of the Spring runway shows. Spring lines are always full of hideous pastels that I find visually offensive, but without fail, our dear Mister Owens has come through for us. Without abandoning his angular cuts and exaggerated collars, he has incorporated softer tones into his monochromatic palette and lightened his fabrics and flows.



More after the jump!

I just can’t get over designers showing spring lines in the fall. It drives me batty.

rick owens has indeed softened it up for spring but in a good way, i think. i do like these runway looks you’ve posted.
over all, i wasn’t impressed w/ the FW shows, especially what we’re seeing from Paris….fall was much stronger. i guess we blame the recession…?

I dig it all except for the exploding pubic hair skirts… but the rest, especially the long jackets, nice.

This collection was nice, but Gareth Pugh’s Spring collection was incredible IMHO for the monochrome look.

It upsets me when they show the Spring lines right when Fall starts, I feel rushed.
also 4th down looks like toilet tissue got stuck to their skirts. But the boots are neat.

Ooh, the sandals! I love them! And the long skirts that bare the sides of both legs are so graceful.

This shows that designers don’t have to resort to those horrid bright colors in order to make something truly beautiful. I don’t know why designers think people need/want to wear all kinds of shocking colors just because the weather gets warm.
