Inspiration can come from just about anywhere, but often it comes from movies. Films can be the influence for a lot of fashion collections and the Kathryn Beker 2011 collection is just one case. This line took cues from '2001: A Space Odyssey,' which continues Beker's science fiction fascination -- her first collection was inspired by 'Blade Runner.'
Light, airy and completely contemporary, the Kathryn Beker 2011 collection, called Cosmos, is overtly futuristic and even slightly geeky. Featuring lightweight pieces, from billowing gowns to soft jackets, the line has a weightless feel that gives the wearer the impression of being suspended in zero gravity.
Overall, the Kathryn Beker 2011 collection is feminine, sophisticated and very versatile. It is perfect for the summer.
