Here at Closetista, we’re major nerds when it comes to mood boards. Whenever we get a chance, we love taking a look at a designer’s inspirations for the season and seeing how they’ve transformed ephemeral ideas like “water” or “first love” into actual garments and accessories.

Bhon is no different, and designers Patty and Christine Yoon were kind enough to share their Fall 2011 mood board with us. Here’s what Christine had to say about it:

“Fall 2011 is really a graphic interpretation of these images of tropical driftwood, exposed tree roots, and forests in historically volcanic areas in Arizona. The photos on the mood board are from Patty’s trips to Hawaii and the American Southwest. All of the tie dye was based on this amazing fabric that Patty found when scouring shops in the garment district. The tie dye is a reflection of the natural color gradation found in driftwood and water-stained roots.”
