70's and 60's Style Starlets

These days we are super preoccupied with designing our fall 2011-12 collection at stella studio.

It’s always fun to look at fashion starlets from decades past for inspiration. 

We are forever in love with the 70’s and the 60’s.  Here are some starlet characters we love for their iconic styles. 

70’s

Ali Macgraw-  perfect preppy chic

Cher-glamorous

Pam Grier- Super smart bow and pinstripes 

60’s

Jean seberg – classic comfort in stripes

Brigitte Bardot loves stripes too!

And love the 50’s dress styles accentuating the natural waistline, cinching, shirred full skirt on a simple bodice. 

Taylor Swift, a newbie, she is simply sweet!

YIn and Yang

I find myself often saying to the children, "pay attention."   I've been walking on this street crossing for almost 5 years now to reach my design studio in downtown Los Angeles.  It was only last week I "paid attention" to what I was walking on all this time.  It made me smile to find this Yin and Yang symbol.

This is a chinese philosophy definition of Yin an Yang.  As part of the Tao, they are merely two aspects of a single reality. Each contains the seed of the other, which is why we see a black spot of Yin in the white Yang and vice versa. They do not merely replace each other but actually become each other through the constant flow of the universe.
