PRETTY THINGS WORTH POSTING - fall will be blushing

-

i first noticed it on tumblr.

the stream was taken over by waves of pink.

not blush, not "makeup colors",

but pink.

-

it ranged from a klimt i had never seen

to chris fawcett for coitus mag :

-

-

charlotte free and her pink hair have transitioned over to male models :

-

-

and for fall,

celine has no fear.

following their wildly covetable neon pink bag for spring,

they sent a navy and neon pink MINK

down their fall runway . . .

and it is all over every blog i see.

-

-

even rick owens showed hints of the trend

in a collection where what they call makeup colors

trended softly over into pinks and blush tones.

from RICK OWENS.

most lovely of all,

most heart-wrenching,

was raf simons' last show for jil sander.

he re-imagined this house,

he was reaching an apex,

and the couture influenced shapes of the past few seasons

seemed to reach a crescendo here,

as models walked in fifties inspired (but not madmen copied)

dresses and clutch coats,

each which felt more modern than the next

due to fabrication,

minimalism,

and cut.

-

and the predominant color for his final show?

not black.

but pink.

-

-

when i saw the details of this collection,

i understood why he wept when he did his encore walk.

-

on a last note,

the displays on the runway

were terrariums,

or victorian mourning boxes,

filled with fresh, pink flowers.
