a few months back, i posted a little preview of the family affairs spring 2014 collection that i shot on a particularly sweltering nyc day. as always, it was fun to share a peek at what was to come. and now that it is almost officially spring, i thought i’d share the official look book featuring some of my favorite family affairs standbys along with a really cute selection of fun little halters and bralettes for wearing on hot and hazy summer days by the lake. once again, designer nina produced her own hand-illustrated prints with a particularly cheeky pattern of red lips with tiny little braces on a toothy grin. of her inspiration, nina says:
this collection is inspired by the golden, sharp light of the southwest, salty, white walls at the port in marseille, italian ice cream parlors of the ’80s,picking strawberries on a swedish farm, hiding behind the greenery to make out, eating watermelon on an old fishing boat in biarritz, roller skating disco to the sounds of david bowie.
she has just released the collection right here!

These outfits and the shoes especially remind me of the mid 1990s. . .haha.
oh that’s funny, i was thinking more like early ’80s blade runner-esque! but yes, i do remember the shoes being popular around that time. it was kinda ’80s revival around then, wasn’t it?
Ah, well if we are going to go to 80’s movies like Blade Runner, that movie did have a futuristic side to it (it’s my husband’s favorite movie ever) that perhaps the 1990’s captured a bit of, but I don’t remember people dressing this way in the 1980’s. Penny loafers make me think of the 80’s more which tried to redo the 50s in a bad way. The 90’s seemed more of a weird version of the 70’s. Maybe I saw things unlike others though?? Gah. Anyway, these photos remind me of the catalogs from 1996 that I had from 10 different companies!
oh ha ha ha i was thinking you were leaving the comment on her fall collection, nevermind! i do see what you’re saying about the ’90s influence here. apparently the ’90s are all the rage with the kids these days. ;)
