We love seeing the vintage inspiration behind today’s looks, so we decided to pair up these celebs’ latest fashion choices with their FROCK counterparts!

See the resemblance?  Past or Present…Which is your favorite?

Katrantzou debuted her online collaboration with TopShop this morning which is said to sell out by the end of the day! The nine piece collection focuses on Greek-born Katrantzou’s trademark vibrant prints and elements of structure. It may be at a lower price point but this collection will still run you a fair amount, with a mixed print dress running $475 and scarf for $120. Though more costly than other diffusion lines, it’s a great discount from Katrantzou’s usual prices!

 

Norma Kamali on the other hand created a line of pieces all for under $100. This isn’t Kamali’s first diffusion line. The exuberant designer was one of the first in the industry to team up with mass market giants when she collaborated with Wal-Mart in 2008 for a line of women’s children’s and wellness products. Yesterday during NYFW, Kamali debuted her latest affordable line Kamali Kouture which includes everything from tops and draped dresses, to the designer’s famous swimsuits!

For his Fall collection, Reid showed tailored coats and jackets, oversized floppy hats, fur, large lapels, massive bags, and one electric blue pantsuit with ruffled jacket detail that instantly had our attention! Basically it’s everything we need in our Fall wardrobe…We loved it all!!

Though we’re suppose to focus on the clothes debuting down the runway, we seem to find ourselves equally amazed by the looks hitting the streets and red carpets…especially when the look is this 1980s white lace Neville Bean jumpsuit from FROCK! The gorgeous Jessica White snatched up this amazing piece and paired it with a white leather and gold trim Escada belt. We love when women are this fearless and take a style risk. After all, isn’t that what fashion is all about?!

Elizabeth Olsen has been making a name for herself on the big screen and red carpet! Though her older sisters, Mary-Kate and Ashley have taken over the fashion industry, Elizabeth is proving that style runs in the family. We love her mix of casual and couture for an all around effortless look that sets her apart from her famous sisters. That’s why we’re currently crushing on this Olsen!
