In an effort to make this blog a bit more fashion related and for me to learn a bit more about fashion designers, I'm going to take my fashion book, flip to a random page and research the designer that comes up on that page and post it on this blog. I might not do this every time I write a blog but I will try to do this as often as possible.
So here goes...
Ley Wolfgang and Margaretha (Escada)
Escada was launched in 1976 by Wolfgang and Margaretha Ley, it was named after a winning racehorse.

When Escada first started out they originally came up with a style much like the bourgeois look. Nautical stripes, sexy suits but with unusual combinations of colours and patterns. They were well known for their use of sequins to every surface. In the past decade or so Escada have taken a new approach.
Their Spring/Summer 2010 collection I see is bright, bold summer colours, that instantly make you think of pure white sands, light blue water with little movement, cool breeze, sunshine and palm trees. I like the geometric patterns and shapes they've got going on.
The colours used remind me of peacock feathers but brighter. I love the shade of green they;re using. Reminds of me of fresh grass.
The animal prints and the nudes are sexy.
Well that's Escada for today!
I need to go take some Buttercup syrup so stop this horrible cough!
