It happens to everyone, a song pops in your head from many moons ago and all of a sudden it’s all you can listen to over and over and over. All of a sudden it’s not just a blast from the past, but the new theme song to your life; for me this time around it’s Fiona Apple’s “Criminal”. Listening to it for the 9,546,231th time while perusing the new Pre-Fall lines and…EUREKA, the perfect combination. Ok to be more specific I have to let you a little farther into my twisted mind…there is one line in her song in particular that I both want to encapsulate and find funny: it’s a sad, sad world when a girl will break a boy just because she can”. LOVE IT.
To me, Zac Posen’s line embodies the line (well really the whole song), so perfectly. It such a fascinating mix of deep colors and tough feeling silhouettes and sexy, feminine lines. Every dress drapes over the skin of the models in such an alluring way that even just looking through the lookbook pictures you can’t help but feel…if only I could wear something like that, I could take on the world in that dress. Even the furs he plays with are done with such luscious and luxurious colors that they scream coquette.
As a final note, it has to be said that while all the girls he chose for the lookbook did a wonderful job, I thought Hilary Rhoda REALLY killed it.
