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

Fashion || Summer Inspiration: FFW's "Sou Sol" Spread

Fashion || Summer Inspiration: FFW's "Sou Sol" Spread

If any season compels consumers to shape the body for apparel, it would be Summer.

As much of a statement the fashion forward made with eyewear in Summer and Fall 2009,
I would love to see some of the bright and bold accessories they come out with during Summer 2010.

Here's a spread from Brazil's Fashion Forward Mag (FFW) to get you in the groove.

Eyewear: LOOK1 - Oakley ; LOOK2 - Ventura ; LOOK3 - Julio Rego for Arnaldo Gonçalves Ótica;
LOOK4 - Louis Vuitton; LOOK5 - Dior; LOOK6 - Martin Margiela

I absolutely love the Brazilian canga (bikini) in the first look which is the model's own from Ipanema.

Such a great way to turn overalls into sexy swimwear!
