Just returned from Eastern Europe. First stop was the gorgeous city of Prague in the Czech Republic. Favorite shopping street... Parizska. Favorite store there... Fendi. Beautiful space, fabulous clothing, impressive handbags, and great service. This store is a must see. I caught this faceless mannequin relaxing in the corner.... loved everything she was wearing.
Probably the coolest handbag in the store was this three dimensional baguette with lots of sparkle. And the color scheme really intrigued me. More about that later.
I tried hard to find a hip Czech woman meandering through the City Center, but to no avail. The best portrayal of Czech fashion was this poster in the railway station! Love the way she layers those necklaces.
Call me crazy, but the colors of the tile work at the Cafe Imperial served as great inspiration for me for my Spring 2014 collection. I would translate this into a combination of citrine with white moonstone and aquamarine accents. Now you see why I was attracted to that Fendi baguette.
My final inspiration was this magnificent stained glass window. As you can see, I was drawn to this color scheme again and kept thinking about how the pattern reminded me of antique filigrees. Who knows how I might interpret this into some really cool piece of jewelry one day. That's the great thing about travel. It plants seeds in your thoughts that take root and blossom when you least expect it.
