COUNTRYSIDE

Love the country, because this summer you will be there :)

Vogue, countryside

It is amazing how every time the good weather comes we feel an unexpected love for everything related to the tnon artificial environmen: the flowers, the earth, the sun, the water. It is like every spring nature is blooming inside each of us. 

Suddenly We all want to be more hippie and eco conscious, the shoes are too heavy and putting make up become an unpleasant thing to do.

It was not until 17th C that artists in Europe, as Poussin and Claude Lorrain, realized the potential of real landscape. One century later, in 1785 CA, Thomas Gainsborough did this oil painting for Mrs Sheridan. He was a master in landscapes, however the times claimed portraits to be a better genre, so He managed to mix the two of them. It is amazing how He blended the personality of the seater with the forest until such a point that You can't distinguish non of them by its own.

We will see this interlaced flowers surrounding us in all our steps. Try to have cheerful colours on the flowers but keep the tones of the fabrics in a neutral palette (white, beige, grey) or any colour a with touches of white and black, so it is more bohemian. Otherwise your look will be more playful and childish.

It was funny how Chanel sometimes (well, most of the time) seems to be one step forward. Karl Lafarged made such a good choice for his fashion show setting one year ago, all his outfits were worn in this countryside farm, it was wonderful.

Sasha Pivarova is the perfect model to represent this rural atmosphere, her beauty is naive and yet elegant and casual at the same time. I adored this Photo shoot she made accompanied by this little cute girl.

 If you follow my advise and apart from the colours you experiment with volumes and transparency you will make this look not only follow fashion but be extremely beautiful. I will make this trend one of the most wearable for this summer, because It appeals to me a lot in summertime to wear comfortable, coolness clothes that still look gorgeous.
