With every new season comes a new aesthetic or attitude. The fall is my favorite season and this has everything to do with the fashion rather than the weather. Last fall heavy knits, layering and black was my style mantra. I was in for a spring awakening. I wasn’t inspired by a particular show this season. Inspiration is a very interesting and peculiar thing driving many a fashionista rampant for the sake of an inexplicable feeling. Moreover, my references, inspiration are an amalgamation of previous, or existing aesthetics and certain individuals rather than a particular collection. It’s a reflection of the times definitely, for the economy has brought new value to personal style.
