At first glance, the individual pieces in Marchesa's fall/winter 2008 collection felt overtly feminine, often bordering on frilly. But, when studied as a whole, the complex detailing and pronounced structure of the collection reminded me of tapering spires and tiered pagodas found on temples and sanctuaries. (I was also reminded of their decorated finials, the highest point of the spire or pagoda which serves to protect it from lightning.)

Symbolically, spires and pagodas have two functions. The first is to give the impression of strength. The second is to reach up toward the skies, bringing one closer to divinity. So, it was no surprise to find out that each piece paid subtle tribute to Queen Elizabeth I, who was forced to keep her femininity hidden despite her awesome power. According to Nicole Phelps of style.com, "There was a new structure to these clothes. Take the stunning black dress with an hourglass shape so sculpturally defiant, it evoked armor. Anybody who wore it would be paparazzi-proof."

Only Karl Lagerfeld (in all his ooey-gooey goodness) could pull off an entirely white couture collection. And that's exactly what he did on the Chanel Spring '09 runway. Despite mixed reactions to the stark white motif, giant paper flowers, and white laser-cut details, Karl simply shrugged it off as "[starting] with a clean sheet of paper" (which in fashion is code for "I'm the only bitch on the block that could pull off a stunt like this). But, even in all it's washed-out minimalism, the devil was in the details. Every ruffled edge, lacy trim, and braided accent had me hearing wedding bells ringing in the distance. After all, what's more exquisitely detailed in all it's white glory than a towering wedding cake,
complete with a floral topper?

Not only do I adore the feminine playfulness and relaxed aesthetic of Romanian designer Diana Bobar's Spring’08 ready-to-wear collection, it also reminds me of the endangered Wild Cyclamen, a tubular Mediterranian flower with breezy, spiral petals. The genus name Cyclamen is derived from the Greek word kyklamenos which means "circle form" -- a fitting comparison given the circular movement of Bobar's designs.

According to John Galliano, his inspiration for the Christian Dior fall/winter 2008 collection was the optimism and opulence of the sixties, amped up with bright color, lashings of paillette embroidery, and Western hats. Sarah Mower at style.com described the collection as "neat ladylike suits and dresses beloved of Kennedy-era America" (not surprising given the back-combed hairdos and thick black eye-makeup.) But, if you take a closer look, his color palette, pattern choices, and cuts bore a striking resemblance to exotic orchids.

Leave it to Oscar de la Renta to unknowingly pay homage to the cephalopod we've all come to know and love as the octopus. His 2009 Resort Collection was ripe with tentacle-esque ruffles, mottled prints, and billowing skirts that transformed the runway into a makeshift Caribbean coral reef. When asked about the collection, his response was, "It's a very happy collection." A very simple answer for such a complicated designer. But the real stunner was the ocean blue ball gown with a cascade of curlicue ruffles. To this I tip my hat and say,
"Yes, Oscar. Very happy. Happy as a clam."

When Russian-born artist Wladimir Baranoff-Rossiné (1888-1944) set out to perfect Cubo-Futurism (which combines the Cubist usage of forms with the Futurist interest in dynamism), he probably never imagined his creations would find themselves gliding down a London catwalk. Then again, maybe he did. Cubo-Futurism places more emphasis on movement and action then it's predecessor French Cubism (which gives it a perfect segway into fashion). And, while Basso & Brooke claim that an "exploration of Louis XIV's baroque and rococo" was the inspiration behind their Fall 2009 collection, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that they lifted their prints and
color palettes directly from Wladimir's timeless masterpieces.

While models in Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring 2009 couture collection waltzed down the runway, an image of a pen-and-ink going through strange computer-generated distortions played in the background. Not surprisingly, his inspiration lay in the age old art of calligraphy (abstract, of course, with loops and swooshes morphing into hard lines and crested edges). However, on second glance, each piece in the collection looked more like a guided walking tour of Wells Cathedral, the most poetic of the English cathedrals (known for its early Gothic interior and signature 'scissor arches.') Perhaps its just wishful thinking on my part, but one would be hard pressed to dismiss the abundance of similarities.

Alexander McQueen's fall/winter 2008 collection took my breath away -- and in a good way! Reportedly, the collection was based on a story he dreamed up of a girl who lives in a tree and comes out of the darkness to become a queen. But I think the collection was actually based on a trip to a lighting store. Wouldn't You Agree?
