It's not any single geographical location. In fact, it isn't a place that you can go to. Or come from. Or even be in. Rather, it's a place that is deep inside each and every person, a place that provides the pulse of our time – the human heart. For where the heart is, there is hope. And in today's difficult world, hope more than ever is the fuel we must burn to carry on. And more than any city or landscape or physical surroundings could do, hope still moves us to create beautiful things, even in the face of adversity.
Spring 2011 fashion will be marked by soft, fluid and romantic accents. Not to recall a bygone era (even though we all take comfort in old treasures and what we perceive perhaps as more authentic times), but to speak to a hopeful future. A future full of the promise that all will be well, if we only seek out the real, simple things in life. And the color palette of clear, strong pastels mixed with soft, weathered hues and dappled, filtered shades blushed with light all combine to create a mood that is honest, clean, bright and, above all, optimistic.
