Runway Designers Inspired by Vintage Fashion. . .

Proenza Schouler's designers stop into Catherine's Closet Vintage Boutique in Honolulu for inspiration for their upcoming runway collection, putting Honolulu (once again) on the map for fashion! Catherine's Closet is a favorite treasure-filled boutique of mine--only 1 block from my work and on the way back from a Starbucks break--I find myself slipping in from time to time and slipping back out with one-of-a-kind fashion indulgences! Check out this article in Honolulu's Star Advertiser. A few of us gals played dress-up at Catherine's and had a blast!

When asked what Jack McCollough & Lazaro Hernandez--designers behind Proenza Schouler--were after most, Catherine answered. . ."70s fashion!". Not surprising, however. . .being that we are already seeing 70s inspired shoes, jumpers and the like popping up in fashion everywhere. It will be interesting to see how these savvy guys take these 70s looks to high fashion & runway!www.modcloth.com
