Paris - Los Angeles, 2010?

 

Already Autumn-Winter 2010 is coming together. I am not speaking of collections, but of a general inspiration. A mood, a feeling.

You may see simply two guys walking down the street in a slightly fuzzy picture. It also happens to be a launchpad:

- Winter in Paris: what is essential?
- Winter in L.A.: what is evocative?

And a conversation of colors and textures may form from this play of ideas. A series of stunning collections could develop. Perhaps it might be a really bad season (we hope not). Every designer must take that play of ideas and give either an informed collection, or one that may be a mishmash of branché-chébran chic.

And that may not be a bad thing.
