These days, the fashion world's having a bit of an 80's moment, with all the slouchy jerseys, (a la Alexander Wang, et al) neon prints, (Herve Leger), and acid wash denims (Balmain/Decarnin).
But as child of the 80's myself, this classic Meiling shot by Sonya Sanchez Ariza harnesses the essence of the era perfectly... Maybe that's because it IS an actual 80's Meiling look! Nuff props for making stirrup tights look cool.
It's nice to feature a glimpe of the celebrated designer's other style directions, since most people can't seem to remember that Meiling totally incorporated the London/Soho bohemian look, the hipster vibe and the above 80's rad feel into her classic collections.
Note: model in the pic is the Trinidadian Designer's current Creative Director and longtime contributor, Charisse Parsons.
