Spring Fashion 2011 – Geronimo Collection

a

Jenny Geronimo Reyes is the designer behind the brand Geronimo. She recently launched the spring 2011 line, which you’re about to learn about in this blog post.

Based in Los Angeles, the designer is inspired by music, the California sun, and her grandmother, who actually taught her how to sew.

She designed stage outfits, but also has a passion for vintage – the two are mixed in her collections of sexy, playful clothes. This year’s spring collection consists of ethereal mini dresses, pretty skirts and shorts and see-through tops. They look like the kind of clothes that you might forget you’re wearing, in the sense that they’re so light and comfy.

There is also a line of bathing suits, with an obvious retro inspiration. Although they don’t reveal that much skin, they are sexy and intriguing. We like the two pieces as much as the one piece in the look book!

Polka dots and stripes, the stars of the 50s and 60s, along with lace and ruffles make the items incredibly feminine. The pale light in the photos gives even more of a vintage feel to the catalogue and makes us think of a bohemian summer day spent by the pool with a nice drink and a good book.

Autumn Fashion 2011

The new haute couture season is starting in Paris and it happens especially with the presence of one of the most expected collections each year: Christian Dior. Once again, John Galliano has been in charge of designing this collection… and what a way to design! The Gibraltarian-British fashion designer has introduced a haute couture collection in its purest form, which is spectacular. That comes with a touch of showmanship and definitely, it sets a very high bar for the rest of fashion companies.
This time, Galliano has found inspiration in a recurrent topic related to the heritage of the French fashion house: The floral universe. Therefore, he can transform a Parisian catwalk into a sublime garden of flowers where some skirts pretend to be the flowers corolla and some tight jackets are positioned as if they were delicate leaves. This is an exercise of fineness, exquisite patterning, and fantasy.

Everything is allowed in this collection, including embossed skirts, ruffles, feathers… The same rule is true for the range of colors: An explosion of color that includes a wide variety of tonalities… more than you can imagine… ranging from ochre and yellow to red, blue, green, and purple.
