Fashion Weak Update

Its been three days now. I've been sifting through the snow storm that are the runways. Aptly named because of all the "snow" these models must be huffing to stay that rail thin. I may have bigger boobs then most of them. That's it I'm calling Hedi, I'm doing Victoria's Secret this year for sure.

Here are my hits so far.... If u read my post regarding BCBGMAXAZRIA you've heard about the belts. Well turns out EVERYONE is doing belts. Yes, the memo went out and the designers said yes to strapping that waist down. You don't want a skinny bitches hip bone to slice you....

Also the other trend for spring '08 are shoulders. Bare, bony, and glowing. Some are doing one some are doing two. I'm into asymmetry, so I say keep one covered. This way it looks like that garbage bag your wearing, is literally, in the process of rejecting your skinny model ass. The anticipation I had for Gwen's L.A.M.B show fell on flat bangs. It was Mod prints and

Twiggy meets Gwen's inner love hate relationship with Fergie and skinny black ties. I wont say "hate", that's too strong a word, but I will just say "balls". One side hung lower then the other. (hows that for metaphor? Not sure I get it either. See what I did there? It was a metaphor for not making sense. ha)

There's a lot to work through here people. The Tents are still up and the models haven't even ordered their second kilo...more later

It All Starts Today

As reported earlier, Sept. 5Th kicks off New York's Fashion week. Once again I'll be doing the honors of reporting from the edge. So Be sure to pony walk back here to hear my rants.


First off I need to put Max on blast. I feel kinda bad about it, but then I look at whats going on in the waist area and I feel justified. This look was over before it started. Here's why, I counted 11 belted dresses ...ELEVEN people. I get the story, I understand his motivation, but it looked like his one idea for the silhouette was beat to death. Its as if he said. "What was big three years ago?" and answered, "a belt tied trench. and bows, so lets belt a shirt dress and tie it"...its too obvious Max. see what I mean....
Now multiply that by 11 or so. BCBG so wrong on this one. Thus far the stand out for the day with me, has been ABAETÉ. The show was clean with punches of colors that brought it all the way through the end. The prints I found sophiscated yet young and classic. Truly a fashion force I want to see more and more of.

Later tonight I'll be looking forward to Gwen's L.A.M.B. show in the tent, and as we speak Duckie Brown is showing.....oh I'm tingling over this. Its like my Hanukkah 7 days and nights of fashion.
