A quote from Marcel Proust—”It is only women who do not know how to dress that are afraid of colors”—preceded a brief statement from Alexis Mabille about “the science of color” and energy as therapy. His show certainly promoted a fearless approach to color blocking. Each outfit was monochrome, from brightest red to palest blue, and each model’s face was painted the same shade as the enormous tissue flower mounted on her head.
But the real inspiration for the show was anything but pseudo-science. Mabille was inspired by a photograph of iconic model Lisa Fonssagrives on a beach, her face suffused with pink from the sunlight coming through her umbrella.-Tim Blanks STYLE.com

Lim turned out a clean, simple, wardrobe staple-filled, saleable pre fall collection- imbued with the spirit of a WonderWoman! Again with the nineties-ish power play and possibly the return of the SUPERMODEL!( tell me they arn’t grooming karlie kloss to be the next cindy crawford) this collection had some seriously catching and seriously primary colored punches of detail. I am pretty much in love with the Abstract comic book Onomatopoeia ( VS fashion show much?) - it’s like a little reminder of badass edge mixed in with all the A line and cardigans!
