Valentino: Navajo Fall

Navajo and Native American inspired patterns are present in some of this season's collections. On scarves, jackets, knitted sweaters and cardigans, and shirts, these patterns are an artistic masterpiece.

Valentino was aware of their aesthetic impact and therefore decided to include some Navajo influence on his 1982 Spring Summer collection.

Leaving on a Fall Jet Plane

Michael Kors proved on his FW 2004 collection that one can still travel with style on modern times. Elegance and classiness combined with a bit of creativity and bohemian airs were present on these creations.

Below a photo from this season's campaign that shows why turtlenecks are not only a Mod staple, but a wardrobe essential, that's making a huge comeback this season. Yet they've always been there...

Yves Saint Laurent & his Muses: Loulou de la Falaise and Betty Catroux

Yves Saint Laurent opened on September 10, 1969 his London boutique. For this important occasion, he was joined by two of his longtime friends and muses: Betty Catroux and Loulou de la Falaise (who died just two days ago; November 5, 2011). Worth noticing is the fact that the 3 of them wore Safari Jackets created by Yves Saint Laurent, each with a different twist.

Yves opted to wear a head to toe Safari ensemble which was accessorized with a scarf and a braided leather belt, while Betty Catroux wore a very feminine and modern jacket designed by YSL in 1968. Loulou de la Falaise wore her Safari jacket combining it with a modern gypsy look with a head scarf and midi skirt. Definitely 3 style icons.
