The Shipley & Halmos Spring/Summer 2011 lookbook throws a party fashion shoot I would like to be in, except I would not want to party with the wallflower model.
The photoshoot's scenes bring the festivities alive with thrown colorful confetti, paint-splattered balloons and floating bright boa feathers. All the while, a wallflower model holds an umbrella avoiding all the fun, glaring into the camera. Not someone I want to party with.
Implications - This crazy collection definitely catches your eye with its whimsically whacky images full of fun and glitz. Needless to say, if you wear items from this collection, you're guaranteed to be the life of the party.
