"you might not understand
think me a crazy fool playing dress up
but i am still on your mind
and on your tongues" © fashionandfables
Charles Anastase's Fall 2010 collection conjures up images of the gloom that will be when Captain Planet eventually fails to save the day- cue the theme song " We're the planeteers, You can be one too!'Cause saving our planet is the thing to do,
Looting and polluting is not the way,Hear what Captain Planet has to say"
Yes, fashion can tackle serious issues folks. And, Charles does so while being ever so colourful and quirky- one must still muster up a smile in the face of pending doom, even the planeters did remember!
The collection tells a strong and coherent story with a crazy gardener as our protagonist. With no plants to tend to in the post-apocalyptic world, our beautiful gardener has found some use for her tools and green thumb. So she fashions highwaisted pants, sleek silhouettes and somber palletes, at least at first, before unleashing some reds, yellows, loose silhouettes, cascading volumes-think petals and layers. An impeccable styling helps narrate his story.
love Charles. Love him even more because he has a background in illustration!
