BTS jellybeans

Link to BTS shoot for new blog.  Shot by my dear friend in my lovely lil loft. I have fun playing dress even if it looks like I don’t.

Trompe L’oeil!

Incorporating tactile illusions in footwear designs is trending in a major way for F/W 14 with this Trompe L’oeil twist. The designs merge leggings and socks into the upper design itself, creating the appearance of separate pieces. I really love this design element because it brings out a playful, inner child vibe.

I like to piece together my blue suede shoe design with taupe fishnet or ruffle polka dot socks when playing with this trend.

I like piecing together this look with a floral print romper and coral accessories.

Thanks for taking a peek <3

MONOCHROME

Loving this trend of monochrome combinations of jet black and stark white which creates a very chic, edgy, yet sophisticated vibe.

Below is a design I created a few years back that is in the same vein as trending products today. I love how fashion always recycles itself with a slight reinvention. It’s all just a matter of timing really.

Incorporating these looks into everyday style. A special thanks to my amazing friends who shot this and who also love to play dress up as much as I do 🙂 You know who you are! Xx

FLOWER POWER

 

S/S 14 examines acid modernism through psychedelic views of tropical landscapes and a sense of Fauvism. Exotic large scale floral / landscapes prints and graphics that evoke a connection between dreams and creativity. Designers appear to crave exuberant fashion glowing with bright colors and vibrant motifs which is can be seen in the trend research images below.

S/S 14 Trend Forecasting.

Key design components I’ve noticed trending for S/S 14:
-Platform wedge heels are magnified to oversized heavy effect

-Layered straps belt the foot with additional layers jutting down, over and across the heel and ankle

-Floral applications flourish at the rear of the heel for additional excess, over the top effect.

 

 

 

waters edge mood board

I have been extremely inspired lately and have a million and one ideas that I need to get out of my head and on to paper. During my design process I research and gather images, music, colors, literature etc. that inspire my designs, which in return give them life to grow. Nature has always been a main source of inspiration in my designs, because like my designs, it is always evolving and changing with time. Key design elements that captured my eye lately, and that I noticed have captured other designers attention aside from footwear, are features, colors, and trims that resemble the movement of the ocean. From ombre prints with iridescent beading and light flowing materials to shell surfaced hardware and coral inspired metallic trims. I create mood boards (like below) and scatter them around my loft to continually feed my right brain during the design process.

8.5 Magazine fashion spread.

lindsaystartoomey_fashioneditor_design-stylist-apparel-8.5magazine

I stumbled across a fashion spread I stylized years ago for 8.5 magazine tilted “Dollhouse.” The concept behind the magazine spread was a parody of Southern California’s cookie-cutter culture, plastic surgery obsessed society, and shallow mentality. Looking back on this now, I just smile and giggle softly. It was a fun project and I am honored to be apart of that magazine. We had some good times.
