Dries Van Noten

Here is a relatively extensive post about who I would say is my favorite designer, at least in terms of aesthetic quality, Dries Van Noten. His consistent intellectually minded collections are really inspiring. I will include some of my favorite pieces, a few beauty and detail photographs, and a video from the backstage coverage.

Another Well Dressed (Very) Young Man

I just couldn't resist posting a photo snapped by the Beyond Boston Chic photographer Martini. It seems she spotted this adorable little boy while in Paris, and the combination of his concentration and outfit make me smile. Her blog is great and you can find it here.

Great Backstage Coverage

I like to not only look at the photos of the collections as they come down the runway but also the backstage photos because they seem to give an idea to the mood/theme/beauty elements of the show. Models.com always has great coverage. Below is an image by Julian Schratter and here is a link to some backstage Perry Ellis S/S '12 coverage.

Prada
