Let's Wrap It Up: Hip to Be Square

It's time to square your edges, people. According to the runways, boxes are your new best friends. Love them, treat them well and they'll reward you with hip points. Here's some of Spring's four cornered offerings:

Dries van Noten gives the grid a go.



Yves Saint Laurent's square conditioned coat and boots.


Francisco Costa's cubist collection for Calvin Klein.


Squares are super DIY friendly. Head on over to the office supply store, grab yourself a straightedge and start lining things up.

I want to slap my outfits silly!

Let's go batshit crazy and wear everything all at once! Let's carefully curate a mish-mash of color, pattern, and shape that somehow looks quiet and comfortable. I love it. It is elegant eccentricity. I want something new and this feels new, less slick, less packaged for mass consumption, more freaked and tweaked and wearable. This is my favorite trend of Spring/Summer '08-no questions asked--except of course, how do i recreate it in my own closet? Here are some examples:

Dries van Noten's andro-greaser-housewife look.



Dolce & Gabbana's color war and giant checkered bag! Giant!


Balenciaga's sculpted flower-power.
