INSPIRATION FOR AUTUMN/FALL 2010...GLAM!

This inspiration came solely from the glam rock gods and goddesses of the 70's....it incorporates a few of the elements and silhouettes of that trend. Hard shoulders, fluid tops, fur collars, long skinny bottoms, and jewelry with an edge are prominent. It is a very sexy look and it's influences range from the New York Dolls in glam's most extreme, to the irony in T Rex's Marc Bolan, an ever evolving David Bowie, pulling from the youth and brash femininity of Cherie Currie from the Runaways, and reflecting some of the careless sophistication of Bianca Jagger. This look translates to the mainstream for fall 2010 with looks incorporating soft faux fur collars, the use of a softer shoulder pad, long skinny high waisted pants and skirts, studded bags and updated, edgy platform heels. The use of black, cream, brown, purple and gold creates a strong and fun color palette. There is a structure, fluidity and conviction with the original look of glam, but pulling some of its elements into a modern casual look can really take it to a different and refreshing place....
