Ok, so going by what i’ve seen of the SS11 shows – next season’s going to be mighty satisfactory…. What’s interesting is the clear divide between two style camps.  1. continues the minimalism trend of AW and warps into futuristic pop brights and silhouettes 2. harks back to my favourite era, the late 70s early 80s, what i’ll in true Petaluma-style coin Soul Sister chic (this is the one i’m supporting).
