Silly made sophisticated, courtesy of Diane von Furstenberg.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">Is it unfair to say that this collection, this <em>resort<\/em> collection, was my favorite of all she&#8217;s ever done, fall\/winter and spring\/summer shows inclusive? I appreciate artistic ingenuity and subliminal messaging through wearable art, but ultimately, I fall for the designers and collections that showcase a perfect juxtaposition of marketability and wearability with creative design. It&#8217;s clear DVF has mastered that art of balance and commerciality. The appeal of the femme-inspired collection, the opposite of masculine tailoring from the previous, is especially brilliant. A Parisian <em>noir film femme<\/em>, in her black-creme based wardrobe. 100% feminine in all its coquettish glory, and so, so me. Need I say more about the mixing of graphic prints of blousons and shorts? The forties dresses? The boudoir beach-y looks? <em>Le sigh<\/em>. I&#8217;m quite literally pining over this collection, my favorites (obviously) being those I&#8217;ve collaged above, from the prints, the posh sunglasses (no pun intended), and the fact that black is clearly dominant in this collection.

Why Turkey in particular? Not sure. Turkey evokes [in me] images and sense of rich, exotic-ethnic culture, decadent fabrics and prints, and a bit of desert cowboys (again, don&#8217;t ask why) &#8211; and this collection embodies exactly that. That may or not be true. I&#8217;m crazy, and well aware, thank you very much. I would try explaining to all you lovely people how\/why my brain works, but creative processes are not only strictly confidential, but metacognition always ends with circular reasoning and even more confusion. Am I the only who thinks of Turkey when I see this collection?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">But back to Elie Tahari. It was a <em>nice<\/em> collection. The only pieces that stood out to me are the first three in the above collage. It&#8217;s nothing particularly special, but both the styled ensemble and the individual pieces themselves possess a quality &#8211; that indescribable &#8220;there&#8217;s-something-about-it&#8221; I can&#8217;t quite put my finger on, that makes it covetable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">Photograph three, to the far right, is inspiring me to try the Prada turban and Posh sunnies look,\u00a0<em>\u00e0 la<\/em> Carrie Bradshaw. <em>(ph. 1, 2, 3)<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><strong>Elise \u00d8verland<\/strong> | This isn&#8217;t a favorite collection.
