The 50's are back, baby!!!
I checked out Margo Scott's label, Rocket Betty, on her WEBSITE and fell in love with the 50 and 60's inspired vintage wear! Margo was one of 15 designers chosen this past year to attend the first fashion show at SXSW in Austin, TX. The designs that took her there are so flattering and really extenuate a womans curves and natural lines. Although the designs are styled after the designs worn once in the Fab 50's, they still have modern pattern, fabric and feel.
The 50's are definitely coming back with a big swing too if you have been following the fashion (which I am sure you all have been, you fabulous D4L lovers)! The cropped tops, the big shapes, the billowing skirts. And Margo and Rocket Betty is RIGHT on trend! You can see it in the "New Looks" from D&G, Prada and Louis Vuitton autumn collections. Fabulous!
Margo says her inspirations stems from her love of old, "1940's and 1950's pin up style art, pulp art, vintage magazines catalogs and ads" because, "the lines are clean and the women are curvy." YES curves are coming back in as well! I don't feel so guilty for eating that leftover Wendy's Frosty for breakfast...
She started playing with fabrics when her mom got her into sewing and as a freshman in high school had created her first real clothing item. (sounds like two young designers that I posted about a few weeks ago....) Then she took that desire to create to a degree in costume design and "a life long love affair." Love her wording. Where is my love affair?
She says that her line for La Vie: A Fashion Show brought to you by Dance 4Liberation THIS June 3rd at White Collar Crime (tickets can be bought at Dapper Style House in Raleigh) will be summery, "sassy, fun and a touch of glamor." Don't be surprised is you see Katy Perry rocking her clothes, she rocks 50's inspired lines all the time! See you beautiful people June 3rd!
Much Love,
Mackenzie, D4L
