Q: Queen, Save The (Proper Noun)
April 11th, 2010 § 1 Comment
Synonyms: n/a (there’s nothing quite like it)
Definition:
Some articles of clothing, like your first pair of “cool jeans”, or your favorite boots, or oh, I don’t know, your wedding dress, are just a big deal. When you wear them, they become entwined with the when, the where, the why of putting clothes on. It becomes not just about what’s trendy, or comfortable, or required, but what you WANT to wear.
Though I’m not big on any one designer or brand, Save The Queen has made two of the most beautiful pieces I have in my closet, and they’re both among the most special articles in my personal fashion history. I wore one of their dresses to my middle brother’s Bar Mitzvah, and another to my high school graduation. I’ve worn them again and again to job interviews, summer concerts, formal dinners: they’re so unique and intricately crafted, and still, they work for anything.
The company, which was started by Marco Fantini and his wife Elena in 1985, has boutiques all over the world, and is almost above the trends of the season. The clothes march to the beat of their own drum. Don’t believe me? Check out some of these looks from the spring/summer 2010 collection, which is inspired by flowers, leaves, and wild animal prints.
See, I told you – nothing quite like it.
You got that right: these are above the current trends. The 3 dresses you selected dresses are absolutely beautiful, feminine, and flattering – not like the confused styles that other designers are pumping out.
