Little Red Riding Hood and Amelia Earhart: Though two mysterious characters, fictional or not, in the books and bios we read as children, Samantha Pleet cites them as inspiration for her Fall 2010 collection.

She veered off a bit from her usual dandy aesthetic to explore new silhouettes and fabrics. Delving even deeper into this exploration theme, she used that as the premise behind the pieces. It's for the girl on a fearless "expedition and she prepares for her trip in wacky hats, mudsilk parkas with matching paperbag waist shorts" and stomps through foreign territory in patent leather Doc Martens.
