Brian Reyes Fall 2010 RTW

I'm going to talk about prints again, because Brian Reyes had the bleeding heart print from spring/summer 2010 that was POETIC to me. I kept thinking that wearing a bleeding heart dress would be the perfect expression of a broken heart, but one belonging to a confident and hopeful woman? Ok, it makes sense to me. For his fall collection, Brian Reyes' prints were inspired by trees, which doesn't have the same emotional impact on me, but it's that "confident and hopeful woman" thing in his tailored yet soft silhouettes that wins me. And how much do you love the knits in the last two looks?

Spring is like a perhaps hand

spring is like a perhaps

Hand in a window

(carefully to

and fro moving New and

Old things,while

people stare carefully

moving a perhaps

fraction of flower here placing

an inch of air there)and

without breaking anything.

Powder pinks, bright blues, florals and prints are pulling me out of my January monochrome. Looking at all the spring/summer 2010 lines is making me forget that Spring is still months away.
