Victorian & Edwardian S/S 06

[fashionista-ta]

I like the idea of individual threads so we can explore each theme in-depth

Just wanted to note that alongside the minimalism, the Victorian/Edwardian influence continues ... I've noticed lots of lace ...

Proenza Schouler did this best I thought ...

romantic victorian/edwardian and 'turn of the century' styles continue strongly from the fw05.06 season (Rochas, YSL, etc)

as a matter of fact, some designers like namely Libertine took this trend far too seriously
even though i personally prefer the minimalism 'revisit' i like the tenderness of victorian influences, it's a good antidote to the pared down minimalism.
thanks for the topic fashionista-ta..

as for the separate s.s.06 threads issue, kindly check my reply here http://www.thefashionspot.com/forums/showpost.php?p=966206&postcount=21

i agree w/lena
it's a sort of extension of the look frm last a/w
& libertine did take a bit literally

did they ever,Lena and Chanel!

It's an okay look...as long as it's played with a bit and re-interpreted in a fresh way. I can say this because Victoriana has long been an influence to me...before it was even such a big thing. As with my handmad corsages and neck pieces,I always made that influence look no to obvious.

I think you can keep it fresh by wearing an obviously victorian/edwardian piece with something completely modern.

we should have some pics of libertine's collection up here . .
as a reminder of how not to do victoriana

I love every thing victoriana, I love this trend atm ive got a few camisoles and blouses in a victorian style, and a cape that kind of victorian.

 

[i_<3_chanel]

i'm with susie on this one . .
this is best done as a detail / or juxtaposed w/smthn v.fresh + modern
otherwise you risk looking costumey & like a caricature . .
& thankyou for the pics tiamaria !
i'm not keen on ferretti . . but i quite like the last white skirt . .

I know what you mean I fine her kind of bland and boring I kind of forget about her most of the time. Never really take much notice of the collections.
Just noticed these pictures tho and desided to post too much time on my hands this evening

Surprisingly I liked Proenza Schouler this season, and I now know why. I can never get enough of this collective nostalgia, I'm afraid - I wish things were easier...

 

[indie]

It's still going strong? woah.

Don't mind though, the clothes are lovely
