A Vivid Awakening for Spring 2007 
Bright color palettes, bold patterns and youthful shapes indicate an optimistic outlook for next spring. Favorite looks of this type are from Leonard, Josep Font, Kenzo, Tsumori Chisato and Eley Kishimoto.

Leonard presents some of the best patterns for s/s 2007, as well as beautiful signature prints (that, in this case, remind me of my little porcelain teapot) and volumes built for comfort:

Spanish designer Josep Font’s s/s 2007 collection is entitled “Princess Without a Kingdomâ€. He is yet another designer who was originally interested in architecture but shifted to garment construction. Well-known in his own country, I believe that this was his second show in Paris. The collection is well-crafted and elegantly fit for a young royal. (His fanciful website is a delight to browse through, as well.)

Eley Kishimoto is a perennial favorite of mine, as their upbeat designs never fail to make me smile (they have a great blog, too). Overall it is satisfying to see such a bright and optimistic direction for spring 2007 – especially for princesses without the burden of a kingdom.

I agree. After really looking at the bright colors and bold patterns you really do get a sense that spring will be a fashion statement. I love the cuts. Very retro very 60’s reminds me of my mom in high school. I always thought she had the best clothes. I’m glad this style is in and not something else.

Inhale joy and exhale Aloha!!
Fashion revolution:Rainbowflage instead of Camouflage.Original bright color patterns that express positivity,from earth to the Universe!!.
Camouflage is tactical and deceptive.
The 60’s was a “foot stamp”towards individual expression and global evolution.The Cat walk/Run way; is our only source for visual enlightenments.Style is our Freedom of choice.!!.
I seek a call to all designers-To help me with my vision quest.!!.
Truly,Blake:-))

I have noticed classic garments always stay in style. Fashion brings out whatever emotion you are feeling inside. Whatever you are feeling, have fun with it and remember not to take yourself so serious. Don’t let someone predict who you are!
