WHITE

When we - fashion freaks - go through the new collections the first image we usually see is the first look of the collection, which most of the time sets the tone and the feel of the collection. I once read somewhere that experts could really say whether a collection is good or bad only judging by the first look. It's true but the most, good collections, evolve from look to look, ending to the best one (but still, not always).

Today I had some free time on my hands and I went through the collections on style.com. All of the whiteness caught my eye. Big time. It was such an obvious mega-trend. It happens in spring collections but this year it's white on steroids, whole white collections get us blinded. (Oh, and by the way, the photos are from vogue.com because style.com's new "moving picture" feature does not allow me to copy the images. But it was good that way, because I discovered that vogue's photos are larger and clearer but vogue.com is not so user-friendly).

I like the whole white thing. It's sharp and clean and minimal and the cuts in all the collections show the work that has went through the pieces, but if Paris and Milan and London are all white again I'm going to shut this blog down (not really, it sounded dramatic). We need to see more marc-jacobs-ness (it was the only interesting collection really, and I'm thinking about writing my thoughts on it, but not much time)! I'm pretty sure that white will start popping everywhere in blogs and magazines. Maybe white is the new black.
