If it's not Baroque, I don't want it!

Watching the latest A/W 2013 shows, my art history heart has been all a flutter. Almost every collection I’ve seen has been capitalizing on a trend that was brought to our attention in A/W ’12, but is full-out saturated now: Baroque-ism.

Almost every collection has been rich in color, detailing, and fabric choices.

Marchesa went all out with this trend -see above. They even went as far as directly sampling fabricpatterns from the late 16^th century!

Gucci and Prada both approached it on a more subdued, grey toned scale, but the fabric choices, detailing and silhouettes all scream BAROQUE!

This is definitely the most excited I’ve been about a trend since the revival of the 1920s flapper girl a few years ago.

And now Georgina Chapman is working on a line with JCPenney’s? Eek!
