Fashion Inspiration: Free People

I received my monthly Free People catalogue today, and while I always love looking through them, I don't always love their styling. 

At times, Free People's whole gypset, boho, "pile more on, moron," styling aesthetic can be overwhelming. As a visual stylist who constantly works with their product, I myself struggle with their "more is more" philosophy.

That being said, I thought the styling in the November catalogue was spot on, expertly curated, and well, inspiring. So I thought i would share some images I loved from the catalogue and I hope you like them too.

Fun With Graphic Prints

Leah's Suspiria post got me in the mood for graphic prints. They are always on-trend, and I never get tired of gazing at them.

Here are a few of my favorites:

jacket by Gianni Versace Vintage, shoes by Carven, pants by 10 Crosby Derek Lam, dress by Courreges, skirt by Egg, blouse by Etro, tank by Givenchy, blazer by Haute Hippie, dress by Roberto Cavalli

Fall, Marant Style

As previously stated I am super excited about Isabel Marant's upcoming line for H&M, to be released this November. The Wall Street Journal printed a wonderful interview with her Monday, and I just can't help but like her even more. She's just so... well, French. In anticipation, I have been looking over her collection for Fall/Winter 2013. Here are a few highlights:

This year's collection was a bit of a departure for Marant, focusing less on embellishment and more on clean crisp tonality. But, for the most part, her silhouette has stayed the same. Her rocker edge is there, it's just more along the likes of Bowie's "Thin White Duke" than Jagger. Inspired, I wanted to look for pieces that embody that same vibe, which I think is lovely for fall and perfect for winter.
