Mood Board #7 The Cinematic 40's
The Soceity Slouch Vogue 10/10
“LOVE THE SLOUCH”
This fashion shoot comes entirely from Vogue. The joining article (HERE) is
all about “The Society Slouch” – the new cocktail dressing. “The Slouch”
refers to a looseness, an ease to clothing and life. It is a style about
the lux sex appealed of fabric, draping, and mystery as appose to the
body-con dress and stiletto look. These women show case their style more
than their cleavage. What you get in place of vulgarity are looks that tell you a story. A narrative not necessarily
of this time and place but one that brings together classic literature and cocktail
notions.
Mood Board #6 Fall Wind Storm
Mood Board #7 Fall Wind Storm As we feel the crispness in the air, the chilly
breeze, we begin to put on layers. This can be such a wardrobe
conundrum, to find the right combination with all our own rules. I
personally don't want to wear a coat in till I have to, or skin jeans
tucked into boots (Portlands staple in the rain) until the last second!
These inspired looks
are a modernized take on 40's style, with a layered, slightly unkempt
look. I must call
attention to the iconic film "Bonnie and Clyde". The fashion in this
film is truly inspirational and speaks to a resurgence of this sweater
girl style I see more and more on the street. Just look at the seductive
Faye as Bonnie. Well, hipsters we now know where some of your looks
originated!
