The reason why I'm even mentioning some of my favorite movies on SOS! is because of Ulrika Sandstrom's S/S 09 collection. Her light, soft and dreamy collection is inspired by the French film "The Science of Sleep" by Michel Gondry.

In the movie, Gael García Bernal plays a character who has difficulty separating his crazy vivid dreams from reality. It's a must watch film, if only for Gael alone..
"The beautiful and somewhat naïve artwork of the film has been the main inspiration when creating the collection, where dreams and escapism stand in focus – things that are also considered being the very fundament of fashion."
The collection stands out in its' basic and soft styles, with insertions of pastel circular cutouts. The geometrical cutouts are very summery and reminiscent of petals and butterflies' wings. Fabrics used include light and dark washed denim, golden voile and netting and pastel polyester georgette.
...and I also love love love Gael García Bernal. Yum.

Seriously, I nearly had an asthma attack form excitement.
Now I need to see that movie.
Wow, what gorgeous pieces! I love the petal effect of the cut-outs. The ruffle sleeves on that red dress are beautiful as well. And I would do anything to get my hands on that cream dress.... sigh. I love how they captured the surreal aspect of the film in this collection. Thanks for sharing!
Those pieces are beautiful. And I'm suddenly yearning for a red dress with ruffled shoulders! I'll take one of each, and one Gael Garcia Bernal, too.
