equlibrium of past & present

Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday (1953)

& Lily Donaldson

I think that classics- fashion, films, or anything else- should always shadow over newer trends. How else do we expect for designers, or anyone to gather inspiration?

the old is new is old is new is old; get my drift?

I've posted every possible inspirational Fashion Week photos I've found from the past few months - including the masquerade party- & I forgot about these. Love all the creative masks & outfits.

for the new followers, here are some of the old masquerade posts:

Lily Donaldson in Vogue UK Oct. 2010

All of these looks are helpful to distinguish between several trends. I'm loving the long maxi-dress trend right now, which Lily is sporting in a few of these. Which look is your favorite?

If anyone knows me, they know I'm obsessed with big, chunky statment rings!
