3. THE INSPIRATION
The traveling woman has an abundance of stories to tell, from her
cultured insights to the meticulously selected garments purchased
on her journey. The female explorer's carefully curated collection of
findings is composed of unique attributes of the details and fabrics
selected. Her wardrobe extends anywhere from Peruvian knitwear to
Native American motifs sourced in New Mexico.
The nomadic woman's wardrobe is a unique source of conversation
and inspiration. This woman's clothing must hold meaning and
stories waiting to be told. She deeply enjoys telling her friends
where she got her beaded tunic and silk shawl.
This season, nomadic eloquence is about storytelling and wearable
conversation. The runway aesthetic mixes a large dose of bohemia
and a hint of glamour to concoct a highly notable trend. The 1960's
and 1970's have been influential decades in these collections.
Designers are incorporating an abundance of fringe, longer
hemlines and Native American inspired prints.

7. THE INSPIRATION
You know that weeklong getaway you took last year? You know, the
one where you stayed in a cozy cottage wrapped in soft cashmere
blankets while you watched white, glistening snow fall out outside?
If you took that same trip this year, what would you pack? Well,
there are a few key pieces such as asymmetrical cut wrap jackets,
high-low tunics, maxi-length cardigans and oversized dolman
sweaters will be a staple in every woman's vacationing suitcase.
But let's face it, some of us don't have the time for week-long, or
even weekend getaways, so imagination transcended into
reenactment is crucial. The coupling of a shift midi-dress with ankle
boots creates that soft, effortless, minimal look that is always
somehow achievable when escaping to a new land.
Throwing on additional sweater layers is made simple and
functional with oversized silhouettes and more-than-delicious
fabrics. Color stories complement each other, as greys and neutrals
take center stage.

9. THE INSPIRATION
Flowers have acted as a source of inspiration and delight since
the beginning of time. With countless colors, styles and
fragrances available, flowers seduce the senses. This season,
designers are taking note with an array of fashions featuring
floral prints in timeless and beautiful ways.
This season's take on florals connects flowers with the feelings of
romanticism and nostalgia. Designers are showing sizeable, bold
floral arrangements in a spot motif, enlarged through
embroidery work, or free floating around full items. This type of
floral story pushes toward dark prints containing realistic
botanical characteristics and subdued hues.
Miniscule tapestry prints are achieved through tactile detailing.
Groundbreaking bursts of rich color are delicately injected into
collections by way of florals on deep grounds. The black ground
florals create a moody and dark romance that is reminiscent of
enchantment and charm. Asymmetry and large-scale stripes are
prominent fine points amongst designer collections this season.
