Fashion for everyone

a few looks from my favorite collection of all time,
dries van noten, spring 2006:

the details and styling in this show continue to have an enormous influence on my personal style ~ i consider every look to be absolute perfection! though several seasons old, to me it still looks very 'now' ~ the ribbon-wrapped obi belts, painterly mixed prints, and faintly earthy, vaguely asian glamour work as well today as
they did 3 years ago.

like marc jacobs' spring 2009 collection, this is a look that can be easily approximated using elements from your existing wardrobe ~ you just have to look at old things in a new light. have a red plaid shirt and a red floral skirt? it's a match! cinch it with a chartreuse, charmuese ribbon and you're on your way!
