Rita Hayworth! You're back!

Think Gamma Phones, Sailors, smoking, Crooners, and “The War is Over” (yayyyy pash a sailor!)

I love this era, and I love love that it is making one hell of a comeback... though most people have not taken notice yet! Goodbye grunge and hello little Lady!

40s inspired looks out on the market:

Silks and satins
The resurgence of gloves (leather, lace, etc)
Hairpieces and headbands, particularly art-deco style with embellishments (ala Gossip Girl) like diamantes, feathers and jewels
Pencil skirts
Covering up with cap sleeves and longer lengths
Trench coats and structured jackets
Mary jane and stacked heels
Lace and lingerie (think WW2 Pin up girls and Dita Von Teese)
Capes and furs

Designers reflecting the 1940s glow: Woodford & Co, Country Road, Lucette, Natasha, Camilla & Marc, Zimmermann and Lisa Ho

I am buying up big on this trend, as it is classic, ladylike and luxxxxeeee

Marry me: Camilla and Marc

Some brother and sister action? Sure!

Anything for my beloved idols: Camilla and Marc.

Check out the highlights from their newest SS 10 collection just shown in Sydney today:

The use of stark black on dewy faced models with metallic skirts is an update on the raw and grungy edge is cloaked over us this Winter. It seems for summer we are going back to fresh nudes, pinks and whites. Overtones of girly, with undertones of fading grunge and goth. Exposed midriffs and well cut pants dictate the next summer season, and our sudden need to join the gym (Olivia Newton excerise videos anyone?)

Again, Camilla or Marc--- marry me? (I'm really nice!)
