Fall 2011 Trend: Getting Hitched
Bottega Veneta, Imaxtree
Grace Kelly, Tippi Hedren, and Janet Leigh made cameos on the fall 2011 runways—or rather, their Hitchcock heroines’ infamous style did. Trends from the ’50s and early ’60s swept the shows almost unanimously. But at brands like Jil Sander, Bottega Veneta, and Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti, a very specific icy blond took charge with her impeccable ladylike demeanor, sleek lines, and mysterious feminine intuition. One look at the tell-tale beehives at Bottega Veneta was enough to give away the collection’s avion-phobic muse. The slim-cut dresses, silhouette skimming coats, rich fabrics and boxy cardigans captured the prim persona, while injecting a bit of today with metallic accessories and pops of colors.

Jil Sander showed a sportier side to the cinema legend, sending out mod ski racers wrapped in cocoon coats and mushroom tops. But this woman still keeps her cool, carrying retro structured hand bags in leather-glove bound hands.

At Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti, Hitchcock’s Girl Friday moved into another era, channeling a bit of Jean Shrimpton along the way, with dropped waists, tulip skirts, and shifts. New decade aside, her girlish profile in is full-swing with creamy dress coats and pastel lights.
