Spring Awakening

Spring is in full force now, as apparent from the multitude of flowers blooming on every corner and the rather unfortunate appearance of allergies in the past few weeks. We apologize for our recent absence on this blog, as Mindy and I have been terribly busy with our senior year and various activities. Fortunately, both of us have heard back from all our universities and are in the current process of making our final decisions. Spring is indeed here, as we feel the need to tidy up loose ends and focus on the upcoming events of our future.

With this shift in season comes an awareness in the changes of the season. From bucket bags and flair to platform shoes and the transparent panel, the trends for this season are yet again beautiful in their own respective ways. Here are a few of my favorite trends in action and like always, all images found on tumblr.com.

*Insert Red Heart Eye Emoji Here*

Recently, I've been fascinated with the combination of classic concepts with modern looks. Comme des Garçons- a revolutionary brand known for its signature logo (a red heart with eyes)- epitomizes the idea of mixing timeless structures with current patterns and prints.

Meaning "Like Boys" in French, Comme des Garçons was founded by Rei Kawakubo in 1969. According to Wikipedia, this Japanese-based clothing line grosses approximately $180 million/year and has expanded worldwide in recent years. It's out-of-the-ordinary artistic concepts crossed with monochromatic pairings have created a distinct look for the brand, a look that is exceptionally unique in our time. Below are two of my favorite runway concepts from Kawakubo's brand.
