Ana Locking´s Fall/Winter 2014-15 collection ¨American Landscape¨ is a mishmosh of the American dream: pioneers, cowboys, indians, the Wild West, beautiful mountains and blue skies. Here we see it all, cowboy hats, cowboy boots, aviators, ponchos, a little bit of everything that pays homage to our dear America and it´s past.

Before the runway show started, we were able to get a sneak peek backstage of some male models and of the makeup and hair going on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Railroad folk tunes remixed as models walked down a runway with a quilted map of America in the background.  The typical farmer in middle America, or the cowboy riding his horse through the Southwest are glammed up in this collection. Turqouise and Sedona reds are frequently used within the line, as well as that dusty rose often seen in Southwest sunsets or rock formations along Route 66.  Of course we see some plaid and denim, and a new take on the cowboy boot. Several shirts said phrases like ¨The American Journey Is Emotional¨and ¨Life is an Experimental Journey¨.

Does this mean an urban cowboy is back for fall? Will will see our farmers strolling down 5th avenue in glittery chaps and shiny hats? Maybe not. But it´s not a bad idea to incorporate a little American glam into your look. After all, all of us have a little cowboy inside just waiting to come out, no?

BDMOTP favorite: dusty rose suit, newfangled cowboy boots.
