At the end of the summer, and the beginning of the Fall season, the French wisely celebrate the transition with a phrase that means bad things to some and good things to others. To schoolchildren it means the end of fantastic summer days playing and having fun in the country. To the workaday minion it means back from the vacation sublime, onto normal, working, family and drama. To those of us in fashion, it means get ready for the retail onslaught, and the shows. Two seasons coincide in the same month in the fashion world: the stores have the new Fall fashions stocked and ready to sell, and the designers present their Spring next year on the catwalk. No wonder the world at large sees designers as dramatic personalities......at any given moment, we're thinking about a minimum of two seasons at once...very schizoid. The summer is for research, relaxation, and assimilation. At least for me. What goes into my head as I travel, read, and observe, comes out of my head in many little ways......hats here, headpieces there, feathers, trim, edges, finishing details...........
La Rentree , an end, and a beginning.........
