Peter Jensen: Fall/ Winter 2011

I know it's Spring and all, and I am just as excited as anyone to bask in the sunshine, see cafes open up their terraces, and see vibrant colors fill the stores. Yet, fashion is always a season ahead, and I am willing to follow Peter Jensen into that season with his new collection entitled "Anna Karenina." The collection was inspired by the Danish Film actress "Anna Karenina" (left) who appeared in many French New Wave films (many of Jean-Luc Godard's). In these films, I was also struck by her 1960's beauty and style; so, it's needless to say that I fell in love with this collection...

Weekend Escape

This is a story about a weekend of a girl...a girl living in France...a girl who recently has been submereged dans la merde...a girl whose string of  recent disasters [caused both by her own maladroit actions and by uncontrollable forces] could be visualized as a cartoon character, hovered by an ominous, unforgivable cloud...or be classified as Pink-Panther-esque...the Pink Panther with Peter Sellers (not that Steve Martin merde) due to her clumsy nature. So, this girl had enough and was ready to curl up in her the metaphorical womb of her room and recoil from the world, and force herself to study for the GRE...but this girl's uneventful plans were then intercepted by friends, beer and travelling [but above all, friends]. It all started in Forbach (the town where the girl lives)  with a couple of beers, Lisanne, her guest Johannes, nature and posed photography:  

 ...Then, Friday, the girl and Lisanne and Johannes somewhat spontaneously decided to take the party to Metz...a city that the girl only knew by daylight...with her credit card and greedy eyes, roaming the shops...yet this day, this day in Metz was perfect...and the girl crossed bridges (literally and perhaps metaphorically) that she never crossed before in Metz...this girl got to see a more complete Metz, a more beautiful Metz...and the girl felt refreshed and reborn...she was reminded of why she came to France...
