I still haven't fully caught up on all the shows (or at least my favorites) from Fashion Week, and I've only caught glimpses of London and Paris shows, but so far I have to say my favorite collection of the season is Holly Fulton's! Pastel colors and fresh prints are always a favorite of mine so this collection was practically made for me. The blue plastic jacket with rosette beading is probably my favorite piece (it's so hard to pick!). It is everything my nine-year-old self dreamed of wearing. Clearly my taste hasn't changed much because I'd wear it in a heart beat if I had the chance today. The beading work is impeccable; I actually thought it was hand-painted from far away!
I'm also obsessed with the naked-lady print. It's reminiscent of
Miu Miu SS RTW 2012 (one of my all-time favorite collections), but I think I actually prefer this print. I love the chevron illusion it creates from far away, but then you get a closer look and see the print is made of tiny nude pin up girls! I've been thinking about it at least three times a day ever since I viewed the collection.
Although the clothes are amazing, my favorite thing about the collection is that Fulton was inspired by sixties skateboarder/all-around badass Patti McGee! McGee was the first female to skateboard professionally. I am all about strong female icons as fashion inspiration and Fulton executes it perfectly.

Edit: I've been staring at the plastic rosette jacket and dress for at least ten minutes ad I'm not sure if the roses are beading as I mentioned. I'm actually not sure what it is at all haha. Doesn't matter, whatever it is it's perfect.
