THE GREAT GATSBY...

This will be a year with a Gatsby flavor, and one sample of that is The Great Gatsby (2013), the romantic drama film, with adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel of the same name, (book that is stands as the supreme achievement of his career), and co-written and directed by Baz Luhrmann, and stars Leonardo DiCaprio (Jay Gatsby), Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton, Isla Fisher, and Jason Clarke.

Movie that follows the story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when The New York Times noted “gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession,” it is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s.

Filming began on September 5, 2011, in Sydney, Australia. Originally scheduled for a December 2012 release, but on August 6, 2012, it was reported that the film was being moved to a summer 2013 release date, due to conflicts in the production schedule. In September 2012, this date was confirmed to be May 10, 2013.

And following with the Gatsby subject, like in his menswear collection, which they named La Nouvelle Noir (The new Black), designers Dean and Dan Caten, the design duo DSquare2, retum again for the new fall 2013 women collection, the Jazz Age like subject but focusing this time in the 'Gatsby' silhouettes from men and women.

Sleek beaded and rich embroidered, sequin, feather dresses are the focal point taken from the 'Gatsby era'.

But what I think is the best contribution from this collection, is the decidedly masculine look on the catwalk where designers used the Gatsby menswear to re-create the new Gatsby girls.

Like in the menswear collection, models were donning their colorful oversized Fedoras, and we have to give a special mention to the double bow ties with a femininity touch.

I love this slightly olive dress with a militaristic inspiration, accessorized with a leopard Army Beret.

A glam mix collection where mixed of masculine and feminine silhouettes and mix of rustic with ultra bright textures: silk with wool, and silk with jerseys.

Worthy of mention is this large cardigan without buttoms accessorized with a double brooch over the subtle silk dress.

The color palette is large and rich in inks and  tones like ivory, antique pearls, charcoal, oxford gray, misty blue and green, olive, green Egyptian, savannah green, burgundy, turquoise haze, ochre, mystic gold, plum royal, purple cream, dark purple, berry wine, and the eternal black.

It is a rich collection, colorful, plenty of textures, mixed silhouettes, a Gatsby Glam collection.

Enjoy the collection...
