Retro Looks In The Modern World: Bombshell

As much as the modern fashion world looks forward it also continually looks back in time. Here we explore Retro Looks in the Modern World.

Today we are treated with the Vargas Pin-Up Girl stylings of the Bergdorf Goodman Resort 2010 Magazine. I love the retro swimwear!

Mid-Week Inspiration: Christian Dior Resort 2010

I'm in love with the resort collection from Christian Dior. Elegant retro refinement is the inspiration. This collection makes me want to polish up my look. I love everything about it, the leopard print, the hats, the fit of the suits, the sunglasses....oh my! Inspired from Christian Dior's muse in the 1950's, Mitzah Bricard, John Galliano based the collection on her favorite shade of lilac, and her delight in wearing pearls and leopard print. In Christian Dior's autobiography, Christian Dior and I, he wrote, "[Mitzah] Bricard is one of those people, increasingly rare, who make elegance their sole reason for being." That in itself is inspiring!

Mid-Week Inspiration:Chanel Resort 2010

I'm loving the French sailor looks from Chanel's Ready to Wear Resort 2010 collection. The whole collection has a sort of silent movie look to it with the hairstyles and dark eye makeup. The catwalk is a Venice Lido boardwalk, a favorite destination of Coco Chanel's. The looks range from Victorian seaside wear to 1920's cocktail dresses. There were even some parasols! As always, Karl Lagerfeld is spot on.
