white forecast for the summer, again?

Betsy Johnson x 2, 3.1 Philip Lim

So Fashion File is touting white as the main color of summer 07, and I'm slightly weary since not only is it a repeat of last year but there's also a very fine line between gorgeous designer clothes and ratty white Gap shirts and shorts that are bound to appear on the masses.

Galliano references, is genius

Little Red Riding Hood, courtesans in big hats, 16th-century royalty, hippies crossed with bag ladies, modern takes on flappers (flapper style is really in this season, with the short cropped hair and a page spread in LOULOU on how to do your Louise Brooks-inspired make-up), and gothic lingerie. And whether or not it's your cup of tea, you have to admit that Galliano grabs your attention.
