Fashion was ment to enhance beauty, not set a tone (unless your a "look at me" person) for trying to dominate your persona.
If she looks good/great in a little black dress or t-shirt and jeans, you have all you need because she'll look great in anything that doesn't look like some designer wants to make his/her statement instead of that of the wearer.
Fashion is dead because the vision now is about the designer and not the wearer. ]]>Aug 13th 2009 7:01PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/08/13/the-fashion-statements-everything-thats-fit-to-print/http://www.luxist.com/2009/08/13/the-fashion-statements-everything-thats-fit-to-print/Aug 22nd 2009 1:33PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/08/13/the-fashion-statements-everything-thats-fit-to-print/http://www.luxist.com/2009/08/13/the-fashion-statements-everything-thats-fit-to-print/I think you both couldn't have said it better. (I have a degree in the Marketing-Fashion Merchandising field. I utilized it somewhat in my work life...but that's about it. I have also sewn beautiful clothes throughout my life and I have an immense appreciation for beautiful fabrics and fashions (those that truly compliment this or that type of human silhouette). I also can understand "some" mixing and matching of "certain" prints together...but that's about it. I think that some of these designers are trying to outcreate each other by creating "art" rather than wearable clothing. That's what it is. It is using fabric and form to create an object that is more of an art piece than it is fashion or clothing.) Anyway....I went to school for that field when fashion was still absolutely stunning fashion....and clothes that most people could wear (especially those who took good care of themselves). --- I don't even bother making a point of watching these fashion shows anymore....because 9x out of 10, the fashions will not be something that shows me what the real trends are (depending on the designer). --And 1 final comment ---you are so right about some of the models. They make them look like they are on drugs (& maybe they are anyway)...who knows. Why not show healthier young women --- so that young impressionable girls get the right message....during their formative years. I think that Tyra has been preaching this for quite awhile (esp. with the weight issues). (Kudos for her!)
