There is a California cool girl vibe emanating from August Getty’s Spring/Summer 2015 collection. Part feminine, part edgy he combined soft, flowing silhouettes in a trend you’ll be seeing a lot of come Spring – pastels – with sexy, crystal encrusted pieces that remind me of Hollywood cocktail parties and red carpets. Everything about the collection’s aura, right down to the minimalist styling with Stuart Weitzman’s staple sandal, the Nudist, 1970’s flat ironed hair parted down the middle, bronzed skin and baby pink lips made me want to be an August Getty girl.
In any collection, whether or not something resonates can be answered by one simple question. Do you want to be the woman you see on the catwalk? Now, just because we want to be the girl in the collection doesn’t mean we always can. The genius in August Getty’s collection is that each piece is so accessible to the modern woman that you can be. There’s a personality, an essence that I can take and interpret as my own. Each piece is totally interchangeable. I concocted three different looks before the last model even made her way down the runway.
I especially love his blazers. I’m jacket obsessed and his long hemlines, low necklines and large lapels completely refresh a classic staple. He gave a strong nod to 70’s glam with his lavender cape and frothy draped dresses. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a reincarnation of the Angelina Jolie leg dress on the red carpet with his sexy cutout number with the severe slit. And, how could I not love a designer that sends a playful tulip skirt with black lace overlay down the runway? August Getty has me. Hook, line and sinker. Don’t take your eyes off of him. Rest assured, we’re going to be seeing a lot more of August Getty.
I love everything, this is fabulous! Gorgeous photos and an amazing collection. Simply beautiful!
Thanks, Julie! 🙂 Isn't he great?!
