The first inspiration is a dress by Mondo Guerra, created for the 'Nanette Lepore Challenge' on Project Runway All Stars. The series ended at the end of March, and of all the gorgeous dresses ever graced the runway, this one caught my attention.

Shape-wise, it's not particularly a stunning piece, but Mondo did a great job with his pattern mixing trademark. I love the color scheme, I love the pattern mix, it's such a fun, colorful little dress. And it sold out so fast at nanettelepore.com! I totally would buy one for myself if I'm not so poor and living on the other side of the world.
