FASHION: RALPH LAUREN FALL 2012 RTW

Beautiful collection. Overall takeaway: Downton Abbey in the house.

Downton's themesong opened the show, clueing us in on what to expect. Lauren paid tribute not only to the lovely ladies of the manor, but to the men. Edwardian-inspired menswear looks in herringbones and flannels with fair isle sweaters, complete with newsboy caps, gave way to elegant evening smoking jackets and top hats. With walking sticks, so utterly chic

The dresses were exquisite: velvet, beaded, silk, lamé - looks you'd see at dinner with the Dowager Countess. A feather cape was gorgeous, a metallic beaded blouse was spot on. And while there were quite a few looks you could envision the characters wearing, the collection didn't feel costume. Lauren paired a gold lamé gown with a biker jacket, for example.

Another major high point of the collection were the accessories. The bags - doctor bags in alligator, sumptuous leather satchels with gold chains - were riveting. The shoes were platform, high and sexy.

Title: Rich Colours

Title: Conversation

Citaat: Judy ziet schilderen als een uitdaging, een ontdekkingsreis en soms zelfs als een gevecht. "Heerlijk, een poel van verwarring en daarna het gevoel van geluk", vertelt Bakker. "Oude muren of elementen daaruit zijn een onuitputtelijke bron van inspiratie. Vooral de gelaagdheid ervan spreekt mij enorm aan en dit probeer ik ook op het doek over te brengen. Het moet een combinatie worden van spanning en rust". Of zij daarin slaagt? Bepaal het zelf en kom kijken. My Home Gallery is te vinden in Bergen (NH). Voor meer informatie zie de bijgevoegde links hieronder. Bron tekst: Groot Alkmaar Dichtbij/My Home Gallery (2 okt. 2009).
