RETRO is FORWARD: Recap of Dior Homme Spring 2009

Sometimes it is not about looking forward or even at the present to get inspired to be "Fashion Forward." To me its about being able to step backwards and seeing what has already worked and thus making it work for you in the present. I believe innovation comes after, when you then make it your own and putting your own creative ideas to a concept or idea.True, there is a element of "thinking out of the box" that some have and most do not,  in where never before seen schemes come and can be made relatable to the common consumer. This to me is what makes a true fashion head, fashionable. This is how a trendsetter gets his/her coveted title. Being able to step back but Jump forward. Most who are fashion forward do this naturally, triggered by research and exposure. Dior Homme's Spring/ Summer 2009, is a great way to start. Here is some looks that I wanted to highlight from last year to show/predict what I see THIS year. At least for me that is. Enjoy.
