I have always admired Kate Spade's ability to mix multiple design elements into one stellar piece. She blends sophistication, originality, tradition and keeps it modern. She is my inspiration for this weeks blog and online Happy Hour offerings.
I want to touch on the world of black and white dressing. It's about finding the finesse to lend a modern look to very traditional colors.
"Even if you're traditional, you shouldn't be afraid of being modern. What's interesting is combining the two sensibilities. When fused, a third, unique aesthetic is expressed" kate spade
Think vintage solid black typewriter meets vivid white iMac
Think of the style endurance in a little black dress perfectly
complimented by double strand pearls
Think classic beach white jeans "kicked up a notch" with black gladiator sandals
White flowing satin gown and starched black tux
Traditional saddle shoes paired with pointelle cotton summer dress
BLACK:
"I think women in black communicate greater sophistication than men in black- with the exception of Johnny Cash, who looked great in black." kate spade
WHITE:
"Wear white with caution and wear it interestingly. I always like white to break up the color. So my thinking is that with primary or secondary colors, white is used to clarify." kate spade
