I love when modern clothing has a vintage appeal and the A Détacher Spring 2012 RTW collection by Mona Kowalska certainly had a vintage inspired look, but very modern too. I love what Maya Singer had to say about the collection... "There's generally nothing coy in her covered-up looks, and nothing risqué about them when they're revealing"
The collection used vintage scarf patterns for the prints, I'm wondering if that's what the lovely polka dots are based off of. I love the color palette, but then again I'm very partial to the color grey blended with subdued tones. The accessories are so clever too, the skinny belts and little harnesses especially. Although, I doubt I could ever pull off a harness! Which is your favorite look?
eek. the print on the second outfit is amazing!!! always lovin' on polk dots too!
ReplyDeleteThis post is wonderful! As a vintage fanatic I love finding modern designers who incorporate vintage influences into their pieces with still creating something that feels fresh and contemporary. The designs juxtapose vintage inspired polka dots and silhouette styles with distinctly modern details, like the circular cutouts at the neckline and the wishbone shaped fabric embellishment that layers over it. Gorgeous!

OMG! I'm in polka dot vintage heaven with this collection. My favorite outfit is polka dot top and light orange skirt - something I really would wear in the spring.
