The Tsumori Chisato Fall 2011 collection shown at Paris Fashion Week was a dizzying blur of retrofied fashion, from mod black-and-white separates to satin pantsuits and disco fashion. Of these themes, the color-popping 60s mod and 70s disco seen in the gallery above is my favorite.
From bright orange skirts adorned with green and pink floral shapes to muted colorblocked minidresses with complementary tights, the chic counterculture fashion of the late 60s and early 70s was absolutely present in the Tsumori Chisato Fall 2011 collection. Gigantic Twiggy-esque round sunglasses take this retro theme over the top. Unfortunately, only 10 images from the retro-modern runway presentation appear above.
Which of the Tsumori Chisato outfits above is your favorite?
