Current Event

This week's current event is taken from the growing trend of capsule collections among the fashion world.  Many designers such as J Crew, American Apparel, and even Kanye West have been coming out with capsule collections recently.  I just read an article about the most recent capsule collection coming out by Karl Lagerfeld, to be opened in Munich.  The collection is said to be Bavarian-inspired and set to coincide with the 180th anniversary of Oktoberfest in Germany.  Staying true to Bavarian traditional attire, he will be featuring versions of the dirndl skirt, white blouse, and pinafore.  He is planning to give these traditional pieces a bit of his own touch by adding a rock and roll edge with black leather and crosses.  Below is a picture featured in the article that is an illustration of one of the designs by Lagerfeld.  I think that this growing popularity of capsule collections among designers will definitely continue, and more high fashion designers like Karl Lagerfeld will follow his lead.  Maybe even Zac Posen could try one of his own!
