Mantrapedia

Time for another post : I want to share about something that's been in the works for Spring 2012. It was time for a design change for the Sharon Gill NYC look. We went for happy, happy, joy, joy. Here is an image of the label we are using with a new color: Pink which adds a nice freshness. Whilst in the process we decided to create a hand tag with a Mantra that I have been working with and love! A nice way to empower women I hope!!

That 50's look

I really started to sit back and notice how the 50's seem to be influencing fashion and movies. I went to see 'The Help"  which I highly recommend from fashion to story to absolutely amazing characters. I love, love, love the dresses.
Then this week watched an episode of  'Mad Men' which is more about the early 60's. 'Banana Republic' did a whole collection of dresses titled 'Mad Men' this month.
But what I most wanted to post about is the Amazing collection by Prada for Spring 2012 which is again very 50's inspired. I love how she's used these vintage cars as a graphic print. Truly innovative. The collection has been reviewed as dazzling, refined, intricate and modest.
She's definitely given swimwear a whole new twist. Think: Hollywood icons of the 50's. 'Miuccia Prada' titled her Spring 2012 collection “Women and Car Engines". Image source WWD.
