Fashion || VOGUE.it: Douglas Friedman 'Desert Sun'

In the midst of shopping sunglasses for Spring/Summer 2011,

we thought why not post some Italian Vogue inspiration for color selection and frame types.

Photographer Douglas Friedman captures a Palm Desert goddess for Italian Vogue.

"It's on this journey we go exclusively with Italian Vogue to Palm Desert California where the Winter Sun lives.

We look at how she defines who she is and how she lives... While shielding herself from the sun." -Claudio Gottardi

The Fall 2011 collection followed an ongoing list of designers that have designed a

collection reminiscent of 70s glamour, effortless sex appeal, and style.

Glamour: palazzo pants, patent leather dresses, and fur shrugs

Sex Appeal: Airy draped chiffon dresses with sheer bodices and crotch-high splits

Effortless Style: eyes mysteriously hidden by wide brims on wool fedoras and oversized sunglasses.

Fashion || Marc Jacobs Spring 2011 Runway: 70s Glam

My Tweet said it all:

"@MarcJacobsInt is having a fabulous showing on their Spring 2011 Runway!!

70s glam has made an undeniable return. *Applause* #NYFW"

Just when we thought we couldn't adore Marc Jacobs more than we already do,

His signature collection was to-die-for. It's the Nineteen Seventies resuscitation that is much needed in a consumer world oversaturated with 80s-inspired duds.

With the decade also comes the attitude, our deepest desire for progress nouveau, activism, and eccentric tailoring.

I spy: Satin suits. Wide leg pants. Oversized glasses. Floppy hats. Jumpsuits & body suits. High waistline; Big hair; Obi belts; Oversized three-dimensional floral appliqués; Tent dresses with ruffles.

Ironically I'm wearing my biggest and baddest Afro to date.

Thank you to The Cut Blog for capturing THIS Moment: Marc Jacobs and Grace Coddington.

Fashion || CUSTO Barcelona's Psychedelic Spring 2011 Collection MBFW

Spirit of acid wash reigned on CUSTO Barcelona's Spring 2011 Runway.

Technicolor feathers, acid wash leggings & skinny jeans were staples on the

proverbial 1960s-palette for the current collection of the always colorful brand.

Of course there was a strong showing of streetwear in the midst of it all.
