nylon march

blckswan — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 01:58:43 +0000

spring pastels look pretty fresh this season. designers have ditched pastel grounded florals and dainty details for super textures and ice cream colors. ornate buttons and leather moto jackets give softness a sharp edge. styling this season is ice cream parlor inspired too…soft colored scoops sit stacked one on top of the other for a subtle color blocked look.
i mentioned before that mint was a pretty hot color this season. my favorite is the chanel jacket in the last image. yes please!
quinta witzel is photographed here by justin hollar for nylon march 2012. the chanel favorite was added courtesy of stylist james rosenthal. hair by martin-christopher harper and makeup by natasha smee.

long lines

so recently i was asked a question about long skirts and their staying power. everything from fast fashion retailers, next season’s trade shows, and high end editorials point to these lengths staying around.
the skirts are popping up in different fabrications; sheer silks and chiffons, heavy linen and canvas, printed fabrics, and embroidered and pleated detailing. some are straight with slits up the side and zippered closures. others are full circle pull ons. pair any of these looks with a solid, sheer blouse tucked in and belted for work. exchange for a tee shirt and cowboy boots for a more casual look.
