SNAPSHOT: 1950's garden party
THE SCOOP: Using inspiration from nature and his love of painting, newcomer Christian Cota creates pieces that are flirtatious, ladylike, and stunning in their simplicity. Cota's Spring 2010 collection is a flash back to a 1950's garden party, full of delicate fabrics and floral prints.
To complement Cota's girly-chic style, Rojas created big, soft curls to underscore the feminine vibe of the clothes and emphasize the romantic innocence of youth. "I wanted a clean, vintage glamor look," he said.
Willer used a lot of natural color with a hint of pink for the eyes and face, paired with deep red, luscious lips to emphasize the contrast beween the drop-dead gorgeous hair and the delicate couture of the collection.
