Mood Board - All White Everything

Rules ARE made to be broken -  White After Labour Day


(Ricci, Nina, AW13)

Labor Day, celebrated in the U.S. on the first Monday of September, marked the traditional end of summer, people would pack away they’re no longer on trend wardrobe and unveil their heavier, darker coloured autumn wardrobe.

"There used to be a much clearer sense of re-entry. You're back in the city, back at school, back doing whatever you're doing in the fall — and so you have a new wardrobe."
Not everyone followed this rule, even some socialites continued to boycott the trend, most famously Coco Chanel, who wore white year-round, rebelled against this.

"It was a permanent part of her wardrobe,"

(Coco Chanel, Schoor, Roland


Acknowledging the fact that the all-white fashion trend is completely impractical, even for those who swear by stain removers, celebrity stylist Rober Verdi has scientific theories about why the trends persist in the face of the stains that threaten all of us.

“We're dealing with global warming, which has prolonged the warmer seasons. So we end up investing in pieces for summer, like white pumps, pants, etc., because we're wearing them longer. So don't stop wearing white things just because Labor Day is over. You paid good money for that stuff and it deserves to be worn.”





(Chloé SS14)
SS13/14 and AW13 collections demonstrated the crisp, clean precisely white trends, but don’t be deceived into thinking this is in any way straightforward or minimal. The White catwalks ranged from embroidery anglaise and  filigree fabrics seen by Valentino and Stella McCartney to intricate origami folds and technical knitting skills seen by Prada and Balenciaga. The amazing thing about working with white on white is that you have a blank canvas and you can run with it for miles, creating unique designs and never seen before ideas.


(Muller Ruchholtz, Joachim)





The theme of white on white has inspired my art work for a long time now, its simplicity and minimalistic initial impression is completely hidden with phenomenal mileage. The aesthetics of creating white on white designs truly excite me, and make me want to continue experimenting with new ideas.
