Vanessa Bruno’s 2010 Spring / Summer Pret-a-Porter Collection
So, I’m not ashamed to say that, growing up, I had an overzealous obsession for pink. To this day, every time the color gets mentioned in a conversation with my father, he reminds me (in his persistent French accent) of my mini-me catch phrase: “PINK IS MY FAVORITE COLOR!!!” It hardly comes as a surprise when you consider the wall-to-wall magenta carpeting of my childhood bedroom…
Stumbling upon Vanessa Bruno’s Spring/Summer Ready-to-Wear collection while doing some browser-window shopping at Style.com, I felt a happy pang of nostalgia – mixed with awe – as I flipped through the designer’s runway show, spiked with some very classy pink ensembles. And, regardless of what the fashionistas over at Style might say about the lace knee pads (“a bit much”) – I’m just loving the whimsy behind the lingerie-gone-80’s-corporate-chic theme.
Digging a little deeper over at Vanessa’s website (which opens with a kickass video of the designer’s muse, Lou Doillon, flailing about to a Gonzales piano track) I found more victoriously pink duds in her casual pre-show collection. I also, to YZ’s soon-to-come chagrin, found her bags. More specifically, one bag. That I must have (it’s the one below – on the right). — insert dramatic pause — And the icing on the cake: she’s almost affordable! In a “screw it, I deserve happiness too!!!” kind of way. Get the garments at YouHeShe, Net-a-Porter, ShopStyle, FarFetch, and plenty of other online retailers or just visit one of her chic Parisian boutiques if that’s how you roll…
