Vibrant color is definitely on my radar for Spring 2011. The primetime show I design for, "The Defenders", is all about color and flash. I'm liberally using saturated colors on the characters, which is a big switch from the years of black and gray that has dominated TV dramas.
For inspiration, I was excited to see what was being shown for the Spring 2011 runway collections. Prada was on my radar as the first show of the season to blog about. Clearly Miuccia Prada forgot she was designing fashion for real people, not a Disney animation film or industrial uniforms. Her collection was a bold mess of nonsensical designs. The saturated colors, with bold stripes, and wallpaper prints, completed the animated look. In the real world, wearing any of these outfits, would dash all hopes of attracting a mate. Hard to imagine her inspiration for this collection was the sexy Josephine Baker .
What's adorable for animated characters doesn't translate to the runway-
Dinner ? Work? Clubbing? Sleeping? Working out? Out for Drinks? Lunch? Ok- scratch all of that. Let's try - Fly trap ? Bee attractant ? Wallpaper? Beauty and The Beast?
For that very important interview -would you wear a Power suit or Power sack?
Other than the hair do, I can't imagine Josephine Baker wearing any of these.
Thank you Prada for giving me the first humorous look of the Spring 2011 runway.
