Check This Out

I’m back .... again. Blogging and I have a love/hate relationship. Well, more like a I don’t have time to prioritize writing in this space, but I should. 

I was checking out the style at the Cannes film festival and fell in love with this jacket worn by Ashlee Simpson and designed by Antonio Berardi for his Fall 2019 collection
 I also love it styled both ways!
The look as presented in the Fall collection.

For those of you who follow my social media I am forever tying to inspire and educate about the fact that fashions past is ALWAYS present and in a cyclical industry how could it not be? Looking back I remembered 2 other  amazing black and white checked jackets I adore.

Gianni Versace Fall/Winter 1992



Also, the jacket that was part of the costumes for the 1953 film “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” worn by Jane Russell’s character. The wardrobe was designed by Travilla. 




It now resides in the Star costume collection at Western Costume company.




When checking out your personal style remember you can look back to the past AND  be stylish in the present. 

Which jacket do you prefer?
