From aquatic paintings like Claude Monet’s “Waves Breaking” and Hokusai’s “The Great Wave,” floral still life works like Edouard Manet’s “Carnations and Clematis in a Crystal Vase” and Pablo Picasso’s “Flowers,” and abstract works like those by Brazilian painter Beatric Milhazes, this season’s garments nod to the storied masterpieces hanging in the walls of the Loeuvre, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Hermitage Museum.

Be a Good Sport in the Topshop x Adidas Originals Collection

When I think of tracksuits, one of a handful of images might pop into my head: Missy Elliot (whose tracksuit-wearing period lasted entirely too long and who, sadly, chose to accessorize her sporty gear with a Blow Pop in her mouth); Russian mobsters in Brighton Beach (or rather, movie versions of said tough guys); ’80s-era b-boys in the Bronx; Betty White in Hot in Cleveland; and, occasionally, actual track stars.

Sporty Yikes! The Most Cringe-Worthy Spring 2014 Footwear Trend

givenchy-swiss-floral-print-flat-sandal

Rarely do I respond to a footwear trend with a visceral, vehement, profound sense of  repugnance — and yet that was the overwhelming sentiment that typified my reaction to Spring 2014’s “sport sandals,” bulgy, cumbersome, lumbering sandals that resemble the Birkenstocks and Teva sandals that unwashed wannabe hippies from trust fund families insisted on wearing during my high school and college years.

In addition to really fashion-forward clothes, New York-based brand Proenza Schouler has earned a reputation for esoteric, almost surreal advertising campaigns — a two-page magazine ad, for instance, might incorporate a slightly overexposed and out-of-focus photograph of a model donning a Proenza ensemble and, opposite this image, a page will feature an image of an abstract pattern with strong graphic lines, muddled colors, or bold geometric patterns that, somehow, subtly correlate to the backdrop of the photo featuring the model or maybe even the color scheme of her ensemble.
