TRENDS SS2013: B&W Stripes

IT'S TOO COLD IN LONDON AND AFTER MY XMAS HOLIDAYS BACK IN MY COUNTRY ALL I THINK OF IS SUMMER. IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT NOT ONLY WE'LL GET SUN, PICNICS, AND THE CHANCE TO WEAR SUNGLASSES MORE OFTEN, BUT ALSO ALL THAT IS RELATED TO THE TRENDS FOR SPRING/SUMMER.
AFTER WATCHING ALL THE FASHION SHOWS I HAD THE GREAT FEELING OF GOING BACK TO THE 60s, AND THE TIME MACHINER WAS FIRST MARC JACOBS BOTH FOR HIS OWN BRAND AS WELL AS FOR LOUIS VUITTON, THEN WE SAW THE 60s GEOMETRIC INFLUENCING PRETTY MUCH ALL THE GREATEST DESIGNERS.

IN THIS CASE I'M SHOWING A STRONG PRESENCE IN MOST CATWALKS, BLACK AND WHITE STRIPES, SO I'VE PUT TOGETHER SOME CATWALK PHOTOS.

I AM ABSOLUTELY FASCINATED WITH NARCISO RODRIGUEZ SHOES THERE AND THE DOLCE & GABBANA DRESS.

SOME PEOPLE MIGHT NOT WANT TO TAKE THE RISK OF WEARING A WHOLE STRIPED OUTFIT SO WHY NOT GOING FOR SOMETHING MORE SUBTLE LIKE THE Y3 OPTION? I THINK I'D GO FOR THE VERY STRIPY STUFF BUT IF I HAD TO PAIR IT WITH SOMETHING I THINK I WOULD MIX IT WITH SOME PLAIN NEON GARMENT (EITHER TOP OR BOTTOM) BUT THE IDEA IT'S TO KEEP IT MINIMALIST, NO ACCESSORIES HERE APART FROM THAT LOVELY MOSCHINO BAG.

I'M ALSO ADDING A FEW INSPIRED RELATED PHOTOS FROM THE SIXTIES
