I am currently reading a book about fashion, genius, and glorious excess in Paris during the late 1960's-1970's. It chronicles two of fashion's greats, Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld. It is a fascinating read, made even more as I am currently reading it in Paris, on some of the same streets that are the backdrop for the story.
To consider the task of creatively producing new collections (ready to wear and haute couture), with new silhouettes, four times a year is overwhelming. So it helps to wrap my head around it to know where they get their inspiration from. Muses, travels, current events, and as it turns out, their mothers.
How apropos on this holiday...
Happy Mother's Day! Joyeuse fête des mères!
