Reportage

Fall Forward: Structure

Structurecollage1

Kelsi asked me to write about Structure, because she knows my absolute passion for it.  I'm always looking at clothing and freaking out over lines and angles and cut.  There is nothing I love more than simple, quality fabric manipulated into the most divine shapes. 

I think by looking for those straight lines, fitted,almost corseted bodices, strong shoulders or by wearing some tasteful 80's vintage, this look is a cinch!  Look for interesting shapes and try to contrast them; a blazer with your harem pants or a pencil skirt and a chunky sweater.

Top Row I've featured: Prada, Marc Jacobs, and Givenchy.
Bottom Row I've featured: Erdem and Balmain
