Inspiration

Sequined jumpers, leg-of-mutton sleeves...where do designers come up with this stuff? Here are some of their inspirations for fall:
Marc Jacobs: Bertolucci's "The Conformist"
Diane von Furstenberg: The cultural landscape of Spain
Temperley London: Paris in the early 1900s with the arrival of Russian nobility, artists and their muses
Monique Lhuillier: Frank Ghery's Disney Concert Hall
Reem Acra: Simplicity of form and sensuality of fabric
Michael Vollbracht for Bill Blass: Indiana design legends Norman Norell, for his sequined mermaids; Halston for the simplicity of his designs; and the late Bill Blass for, well, obvious reasons

And yet even with influences so varied, no more than 10 major fashion trends for the season will emerge this week.

Allison, your daily updates are a great idea -- I just wish I was there too! Will you be giving us a "cheat sheet" of fall colors, trends, etc. when all is done? Glad to hear that Glamorama has moved back to August...

Yes, Peg, absolutely. Look for reports in the newspaper next week and a wrap up on Sunday, Feb. 18.
