I love geometrics, but they make my eyes cross!
ReplyDeletegreat post. hadn't noticed how much chevron patterns abound!
ReplyDeletelove.
ReplyDeletelove.
ReplyDeleteLAMB's pencil skirt is quintessential I think.
ReplyDeleteGreat patterns. i just wanted to mention that i love Giambattista Valli too!
ReplyDeleteGoooooooooooooooorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love all the bags shown, and the black and violet shoes!
ReplyDeletethis totally reminds me of the trend in high school...i definitely had a chevron-esque skirt
ReplyDeleteThe Miu Miu Chevron dress is amazing, as are the Prada sandals (insane!). I am excited about this trend...when it is done right. Of course, I live for any zig zags in black and white.
ReplyDeleteHa ha I scrolled up really fast to have another look at one of the pictures and the black and white lines made me dizzy.
ReplyDeleteToo many zig-zags can hurt the eyes, but just enough make such a cool geometric look! :)
ReplyDeletexoxo,
S-C
Wow! So many amazing things!
ReplyDeleteLove the dress from Sonia Rikyel!
i heart these zig zags!! that off the shoulder dress is to die for !
ReplyDeleteWoww the pumps are sooo beautiful !!
ReplyDeleteI adore the Chris Benz outfit
ReplyDeleteArchtitecture and fashion are one of those contrasts that work divinely together! The idea of print as well as actual construction to convey the message is cool :)
ReplyDeleteI am not sure why i adore them, but i do love a chevron stripe. they remind of the seventies i think,perhaps all those chevron graphic polyester long sleeve tops with large collars ;o)
ReplyDeleteThe Prada heels are FRIGGIN HOT!!!! Prada gets it right time after time!

Yeah! The kind of print used by America Ferrara in the ALMA Awards, you're right!!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I agree Roselyn Sánchez looks very similiar to a younger Sandra Bullock (maybe more curvy...), specially like the character in Miss Congeniality, ha ha ha!
