Banana Republic is not my aesthetic, but it was fun researching the brand, company, and image in order to begin the design process.Tuesday, February 15, 2011
Who interested in this line....
age: 25- 50
income: 40,000- (75, 000-100,000)
Made for the working women. This collection needs to take her from work- evening- weekend play.
This season is about floral, floral, and more floral.
Integrated with a utilitarian feel with some dainty, delicate accent.

THE STREETS ARE WATCHING.
Classic. tie. dress shirt. leather dress shoes.
These items have been "in style" for a long period of time. the long mens dress jacket, although not the exact same as this one, we have seen since the early 1900s.
Fashion. boots. denim jeans. leather jacket. The faded denim look is not new, but it is also not "out of style". The leather jacket is also something that i have been seeing for a long time (could possibly be a classic) but the cut of the jacket makes it a bit more trendy. The boots, well boots people have been wearing for ages but this lower calf height is trendy now, possibly making it a fashion statement.
Trendamania. Aritzia Girl. vintage look (seen on spring runway). hipster boots. leggings. shaved side of head. Everything about this is trend. These trends are coming from the "hipster" revolution that has been seen on the streets for the past few years. The "hipster" look is starting to trickle into fashion brands more and more. It is hard to say whether or not this girl is a hipster or if her choice of dress is reflected by what she is seeing on the runway, and magazines or around her. It appeared that she was on her way to her job at Aritzia which makes me believe she is wearing a trend and not part of the the "hipster revolution." Either way still looking beautiful and, well trendy.

Futurama: Hussein Chalayan
Hussein Chalayan was born in Nicosia (Lefkoşa in Turkish) in 1970 and graduated from the Turkish Maarif College of his hometown. He moved with his family to England in 1978, obtaining British citizenship. He first studied for a National Diploma in fashion and clothing at Warwickshire School of Arts, and proceeded to study Fashion Design at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London.

Very interested in Walter Van Beirendonck right now...
Fashion designer Walter Van Beirendonck is selling the huge bear cupboard that was standing in his Antwerp store. The piece of furniture looks like a massive lying bear, and was housing the childrens collection by the designs. They are selling the piece right now for about 30′000 Euros.
