Fashion Journal #5

Stumbled upon this today while on ifstylecouldkill.com, and then decided to look at more of her work! This first one is a wonderful combination of menswear and art- pop art?

This one reminds me of the huge kimono-like jackets from the 1910s

This reminds me of the "New Look," and also the Victorian era, from the silhouette and hat.

Her work definitely seems all over the place, but I really love the references, childish colors, and wacky playfulness. It's so quirky and I love Agatha Ruiz de la Prada! :)
