Body is a Trunk, Sound a Horn

Reem Acra Fall 2015 collection inspired by Stevie Nicks

Stevie Nicks is the Energizer Bunny of fashion references. She keeps going and going and going. Reem Acra found herself inspired by Nicks’ 24-Karat Gold exhibition last fall of digitally reprinted self-portrait Polaroids from the Seventies. The photos evoked a particular time when retooling the Victorian aesthetic was rampant.

The designer began the season by referencing Stevie Nicks’ Polaroid self-portraits from the mid-’70s. “They’re unbelievable,” Acra said backstage before the show, eyes glimmering with inspiration. “[Nicks] is a woman that I relate to. When I started putting things together, it came easy. I didn’t have to think about it too much.”

Brassai (i guess) for Diana Slip, 1932 c.

This #mermaidpose bind on #natarajasana feels like a superhero posture. When I’m lost in the wilderness, I want to hold on to this feeling of power. I created this all on my own- I own this sensation. “I wish I could show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your own being.” #dancerpose
