RALPH LAUREN'S URBAN COWBOY CHANNELING ANNIE HALL

I think we all said: "ohh-la-la" to Ralph Lauren's Urban Cowboy themed show in New York yesterday, however, why was "la-di-da"  resonating in my lil' head's amphitheater?

I must say, I saw a young Diane Keaton and her lovely character, ANNIE HALL shining through the looks. From the neckties and flowwwing coats and sweaters, to the Derby and delicious Pork Pie hats, Annie Hall's spirit of style prevailed.

While the showing was absolutely stunning, there were a few design  elements that have been described as: "...heavy-handed...", costumy, and over-the-top Western. And while costumey belts and a suede jacket that might go down as the peacocking braggart of fringed, suede items of this decade were all present at roll call, I am a full-on supporter of grocery store runs in TOP HATS and pink wigs - so I am certainly not in the complaining club. I found the show to be beautiful, wearable, and very in touch with what WOMEN want. Therefore I sayyyyyy:

 

BRAVO SIR LAUREN!

Listening to: the quote that's stuck in my heead: "I just don't want to belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member..."

Marc Jacobs

So here are some key looks from the Marc by Marc Jacobs show in New York earlier today.

It looks to me as if Mr. Jacobs is still feelin' that midi skirtn' disco vibe as overall, the collection feels very young and fresh, with a very distinct nod to the 70's.

With high waists, retro bathing suit bottoms, and stripes runnin' all up n' down that runway, 

the modelas, led by Swedish beauty Frida Gustavsson all hit the runway with frizzy hair like Gina from Scarface, blowin' in the stuffy wind of the stark white runway.

clean.

young.

fresh.

not-so-bad
