Fashion Week - NYC
Posted by: Denelle
Twice a year NYC observes a long standing tradition: Fashion Week. With all of the pomp and circumstance of a state visit and with all the reverence of a holy pilgrimage, designers, models, socialites, and the Hollywood crowd decend on New York in an effort to see and be seen and to maybe pick up some fashion ideas for the following season.
*Note: Fashion Week is always for the following season . . . hence the festivities going on right now are a preview of what you can expect to see come Spring '07.
In an ode to all things fashionable (according to who is questionable) I thought I'd give you a glimpse of the madness that has overtaken this city.
The Good (because we need to start with the positive)
Love this dress. The color, the shoes, everything.
No comment on the dress but the coat is divine.
Women's fashions get the most coverage but I couldn't pass up how fabulous this suit is.
The Bad (or maybe I just don't get it)
Now see, I like the skirt, and I get where the colors/patters/etc come from and how the draw off of each other . . . but I just don't think I'd ever put the two together.
The fanny pack is back. There is something so wrong with that.
Only 6' tall, slightly annorexic models can pull off a T-shirt dress. Please. What normal woman would attempt that; outside of wearing it to bed?
And the Ugly (because what would Fashion Week be without the just plain weird)
Because you never know when you may need to use your sleeves to hide a small third world country . . . or to parachute from a plane. Marc Jacobs. What would we do without your kooky creations.
It's a pink jumpsuit. Need I say more?
Ummm ... ok ...
Words defy me. Someone stop the madness.
I'm going out to do some shopping after work. While I have no plans to be in the tents, I will let you know if I run into anyone interesting or interestingly dressed.
