You Gon' Hear Me Roar

This roaring tiger-knit sweater makes me want to shout that good ole' Katy Perry anthem from the nearest mountaintop (is there a mountain close to Manhattan?!). Yup, it's that good. I already talked excessively of my Gucci obsession so it comes with no shock that I'm living for this fab feline sweater. Paired with this bohemian beauty of a bag (it's Saint Laurent!), chunky brown wedges and lightly-distressed denim, this is the easy breezy lemon squeezy, throw-on-and-go outfit you've been dreaming of.

Carrie Quite Contrary

Carrie is the queen of the outlandish outfit. No, not pig blood-splattered Carrie (though that telekinetic twit may have been the unlikely inspo behind Saint Laurent's glitter and grunge prom queen for spring 2016) but Ms. Carrie Bradshaw.

Whenever I craft these outfits, I think of the fictional femme. She marched to the beat of her own drum and threw together looks that would now be instant street style fodder. Carrie never met a tutu she didn't like so this Elizabeth & James white tulle cloud of a skirt is the perfect remedy to a tired wardrobe.

Paired with a Gucci rainbow-clad sweater (see, the rainbow really is in!), a candy-striped Milly clutch, and canary-yellow Cole Haan loafers. This has baddie Bradshaw written all over it. Maybe add a corsage and nameplate necklace for good measure!

GUCCI GUCCI

I'm feeling the magic Alessandro Michele is making at Gucci! His spring show was a technicolor parade of retro-tinged looks that felt geeky and girly, new yet familiar, young but mature.

These clashing themes are a turning point in fashion: often, designers present a strong vision of one type of girl and isolate customers that might not fit that demographic. Consider the Oscar de la Rentas and Carolina Herreras of the world crafting confections for the Park Avenue Princesses of the world - or the Wangs and Rousteings serving up twenty-something bad bitchery.

 And Michele is becoming the most buzzed about designer in fashion's flock. You see, Michele isn't a good designer; he is a great designer. A good designer creates something that makes you shop. A great designer creates something that makes you dream.

Fashion-obsessed females worldwide are fantasizing about becoming Michele's Gucci Girl. It is his reckless abandon of the de rigueur that becomes pyrotechnics lighting up the landscape of fashion. He spins a story whose narrative I have hopelessly fallen in love with.
