>> Their collection did kind of remind me of Lucky Charms -- there were rainbows, stars, hearts, and lots of magically delicious colors. But don't worry, Eley Kishimoto's collection wasn't so overdone that it was tacky. Rather, it was the perfect fusion of the Japanese fashion-inspired and the sixties-inspired, making for a cheerful spring/summer collection to contrast all the drabness that has prevailed thus far.
On the rainbow dress, right, we see the tiers that were all over in NY, but this is definitely the best treatment I've seen of them so far -- probably because the print is fairly busy, so it draws some of the attention away. Very cute, and I love the buttons down the front.
The heart dress (left) is one of my favorites of this collection -- I love the simplicity of the shift dress shape, embellished with a big bright-red heart and a ruffle at the bottom that alludes to a tutu. Very simple, and yet unique.
It looks like big sunglasses are here to stay for another season, if this collection and Luella have any influence. Again, I love this top, with the big smacking red lips against the darker background. Playful? Check. Cute? Check. Graphic qualities? Check. Add 'em all up, and what do you get? My resounding approval.

Mes apologies, mes cheries. I did end up evacuating for a short period of time, and I have just needed a bit of time to regroup. But all is well, and here we go, full steam ahead!
I think the top with the big smacking lip looks kind of tacky, like something you'd see in Kmart.
Where are thou , Fashionologie ?
WE miss you and your great insight for
for the end of the london and the start of the milan fashion week ! Come back soon!
It's so refreshing to see color and bold shapes back in fashion, especially after a few years of nothing but drab spring wear. Plus, it's nice to see something other than the oh-so-outdone bohemian chic look.PS: I love your blog!

I know this is completely unrelated to fashion but just out of curiosity since you live in 'H-town' ha...are you evacuating or staying?
I love your comments on the runway fashion. I stopped having access to FT, and I'm so out of the fashion loop.These are the cutest outfits... VERY japanese. I love the tiered rainbow one, but if I wore it, i would look 10 years old :)Keep writing! I've got you bookmarked! :)Jeans
