Artistic expression arrives in a variety of mediums and continues to inspire.  One place I get inspiration is from fashion and at Style.com , where I can follow all the shows.  I appreciate the unending flow of new ideas, and occasionally, there is something I would even like to wear.  The D & G Fall 2011 Ready to Wear show qualifies.  The clothes had a strong 80’s feel, with the longer skirts, big belts, leggings and big tops.  I love the lines.   The “alphabet” patterns made it feel very fresh, but still strongly graphical and bold.

Stretch tube skirts worn over a chiffon skirt were prevalent and charming

Dresses were worn over skirts, over chiffon. How fun that would be to wear?

The shoes were sneakers wedges , so the look was casual

Who doesn’t love a black and white print?

Very sheer skirt would need to be “modified” , but this pattern feels like a fresh spring day. Now if only I were 6’ tall, I could wear this.

The D & G Couture Show was much more rigid, with a lot of menswear.  The RTW  line looks like a lot more fun.  Come fall,  I am ready to wear this RTW line!
