To: Haywood & BILL:
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!)
