Summer Sings to Autumn with Helen Rödel

One of my favorite designers, Helen Rödel showcased her SS '12 collection earlier this year, featuring a range of colors as she usually does. Since I believe in endless summers, I have gone through some of the runway images of the collection to find the best pieces to wear for autumn. Even though they may be woven to be light and airy for warmer weather, you can always layer underneath for a cozy feel. Because most of you can't hop over to Brazil for a private fitting, you can just admire her beautiful craftsmanship and gain inspiration.

Fashion & Film: Helen Rödel

This is a documentary style film, as opposed to the more artistic fashion films I post, but I do make exceptions, and my love for this designer is pretty evident. When I watched this intimate film about Helen Rödel and what inspires her, I fell even deeper. It's so beautifully shot, and even if you don't read the captions, it feels like the voice and images can tell her story in a language that you can understand. I love this quote from the video: "I have a pleasant soul. Something moves very strongly inside me when I am in a natural environment. It expands my living wills. But I don't deny the city. There is no way to give up that transit, and I believe my clothes intend to do so."

I don't usually post catwalk shows, but I love this so much, I just had to share. Helen Rödel is amazingly talented. This is her Estudos MMXI collection. All of these items need to be in my closet.

I ♥ Helen Rödel

Helen is a Brazilian designer who creates colorful hand knitted and crocheted pieces, that both excite me and make me want to cry because I don't have every single dress she's ever made. Looove.
