The Dark Side of the Mood

The 40s has the iconic Christian Dior's A-line; the 50s has the Audrey Hepburn's capri pants ; the 60s has the futuristic miniskirts. In 2015, there is no doubt that it is going to be a big year for 70s-inpsired menswear and womenswear. We can safely say that the daring paisley prints and bohemian textures are making a comeback.
However, thanks to the power of technology, many subcultures' styles have the opportunity to trend at the same time.
For this S/S, darker and calmer moods are brought to us by Giambattista Valli, John Varvatos, La Perla Atelier and even Yves Saint Laurent, who has never been inspired by the rock 'n roll subculture.

Giambattista Valli has mastered the art of mixing the ultra-feminine, classic Chanel inspired tweed jacket with more edgy color palette and cut. Our girls are in luck this year; this collection has brought a new meaning to designs with his updated interpretation of lace and tulle. These popular fabrics have not only been a staple for many previous years, but they are continuing to make their way to S/S 2015 runway in a different form...

Yves Saint Laurent presented an excellent show for the late 70s, early 80s lovers. 

A perfect medley between Janis Joplin and Joan Jett.

What about the guys?

In honor of these edgy runway collections, here is what I have for our Style Adaptor's soundtrack this week (if you haven't already figured out by the title of this post, lol)
Pink Floyd - "Money"

What do we fashionistas always say? "Money can't buy styles" ;)
