George Moskal’s runway looks added a heady dose of glamour and sophistication, particularly the violet halter linen gown’s addition of a welcome shot of color to the fairly muted runway.

Irving Penn

george — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 03:37:03 +0000

I came across this amazing Irving Penn spread in Vogue at the library today. I have always been intrigued by his photography, especially his amazing still lifes. This issue is from March 1, 1947. The last series in this issue is a still life with Ingrid Bergman and truly inspiring. One of the main reasons this spread caught my eye is because it reminded me of the Lanvin Pre-Fall 2011 collection which is posted last.

A collection of quotes and photos from my recent runway show:

“George Moskal’s gorgeous, billowing silhouettes and eye-catching colors were beautiful on the runway, but plenty of the ready-to-wear items could easily work into a woman’s everyday wardrobe.” — StarTribune

“This kind of editing and restraint, is what makes George Moskal a standout designer.” — basicspace.com

“He’s known for his classic, refined, exquisitely tailored garments, and this evening was no different.” — artofwore.com

“This was a collection tailor-made for Saks Fifth Avenue or Neiman Marcus – a sure sign of the growth the Twin Cities fashion industry has seen over the past few years.” — vita.mn

“Naturally chic spring silhouettes…” — citypages.com

Fragile as Smoke

george — Sun, 23 May 2010 02:49:31 +0000

I spent the afternoon this past Friday researching for Spring 2011 at the St. Paul Library’s vast collection of Vogues. I focused my research on the late 1970s to early 1980s for no particular reason other than not knowing a lot about this era. It was interesting to see the minimalism of the late 70s start to gradually shift into the 80s maximalism.

My color palette is often inspired from make-up colors and this story from the 1970s “Fragile as Smoke” really caught my eye.

I love how the colors of Mary McFadden’s pleated dresses from the early 80s fit into this color story. A young Christie Brinkley!

Here is another color story from the 70s called Woods & Straws which adds in clothing and accessories into the assortment of make-up. Underneath the title it says “to wear with the new brown touched colorings.” The dress has to be Halston.

I don’t remember who did this suede pullover, but it looks so Claude Montana or Giorgio Armani from the day. The over-sized envelope clutch with studs from Fendi is killer.

Here is another shot of the suede pullover which looks amazing with the grey wool jersey pant.
