Welcome to the first installment of Casual Observations, a section in which we point out a sartorial movement that’s neither here nor there—and yet somehow worthy of our attention for a few brief seconds.
First off, it seems that Feist’s quirky-cool melody wasn’t the only catchy aspect about her 1,2,3,4 music video. Her distinctive costume may have sparked a mini-trend for blue sequin ensembles, as evidenced by Preen’s Fall/Winter 2008 show as well as Sunglass Hut’s recent ad campaign. (How else do you explain the rise of this reimagined ’80s look?)
And speaking of Preen, the arty UK label seems to be having a moment of it’s own thanks to tastemakers like Gwyneth Paltrow and Agyness Deyn who have been seen out and about in Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi’s sculptural LBD’s. Maybe the duo’s stylish threads are what Matrix team had in mind when they outfitted their spring ‘08 spokesbabe?
