rag & bone
I remember not blogging about rag & bone last season because of how much I disliked that collection. Although there were a few looks I liked in this one (well, four, pictured below), the collection as a whole this time was also kind of meh. I'm not sure, but I feel like the woman that the designers are dressing now is someone wholly different from me/my aesthetic/who I would want to dress like.
On the other hand, Rebecca Minkoff dresses for someone that I would look up to, dresses for someone that is me (if I had copious amounts of moneyz), and also ladies that I wouldn't dress like (as it's not my style/I wouldn't be able to pull it off) but who I wouldn't do a double take and go "I'd never, in a million years, wear that."
Lace and cut outs, long gowns and full suits--things I love but can't pull off, things I love and will wear/buy all the time, things I love and will admire from afar.
Not too long ago, I was talking to a friend about fashion labels and I was singing the praise of the Olsen's The Row. She looked at me, really unsure, and said "Really? You admire their style?" To which I had to explain, No you see, The Row is all about clean, cut minimalist lines. Tailored to perfection yet feminine at the same time. It's everything I want--minus the florals of course.
