[...] I’ll quickly dash through my remarks on other shows. Like Danielle already noted, fashion doesn’t seem to have moved much from Fall ‘06 to Spring ‘07. The most intriguing thing to me has been these great grape bunch necklaces Lyn Devon sent downt the runway (click the image to see the detail) [...]

[...] Speaking of blogging Fashion Week (or Weak:), this outfit from Oscar De La Renta just about shoots down the idea that runway looks are never wearable, doesn’t it? And, hehee, I found a blouse SO similar to this one yesterday, at Value Village, you guessed it, brand new with tags for only $1 American! Oh yeah! [...]

What I truly love to see, is people who can take some of the current fashion trends and put interesting twists on them, using interesting fabrics, colors and modern spins on old favorites. Give me a babydoll dress done better. Give us a reason to buy high fashion, as opposed to Target or Ross. Fashion should reflect the person under, not the other way around. This is probably why you find yourself bored with fashion shows, they lack personality.

I’m so sorry if I misrepresented you in the link Jill – I thought it was interesting how fashion week really hasn’t generated a lot of comment from some of the best bloggers.

ditto KF, I get emails from people letting me know about the new line they have designed and it turns out to be t-shirts… perplexing. I guess there is always the exception, but…

BTW, since you linked to my site, I am not “ignoring” fashion week. I am definitely looking. I am just not writing anything, except maybe the odd bit here and there, like Elisa Jimenez’s showing of Ingeo paper dresses, the Cone Denim exhibit or the Proenza Schouler hemp jacket. I will likely summarize my thoughts in one post when it is all said and done and, for me and my readers, I think that is sufficient. For those craving more, there are plenty of people covering all of the action.

Whew! This makes me feel much better about my blatant ignoring of fashion week!

I’m kind of over dosed on fashion period. I don’t know what is “good” anymore. I mean, I used to get excited at what I thought was cool stuff but lately (several years now) I see all this …crap… to me but everybody else seems to think it’s whiz-bang stuff but it doesn’t excite me. So, I’m left with the idea that I just have no sense of what’s good design because so much of fashion is ridiculous to me. These days, at least judging from my email box, tee shirts are fashion items and I just think it sucks. Apparently, I’m supposed to take this stuff seriously and all I want to do is hit the snooze button. Everybody wants to be a star but nobody wants to do the REAL work that goes into it. Everybody calls themselves “couture” this and that and it just gets old. Fashion should excite. Fashion should lead one to want and at least minimally, get me out of the thrift stores but it doesn’t. I covet nothing.

“The newest trend in fashion blogging is to tone down or ignore the fashion week hoo-ha.”

Cool. I just thought I was being lazy.

Hi Danielle… I think it’s great to get another designer’s point of view, either likes or dislikes about the shows. Usually commentary is a reporter or an outsider’s point of view, not an expert like you. I’m definitely seeing trends I like an don’t like… it’s all about how you and the readers take it and run with it! That’s the fun of it! So keep your opinions coming.. it’s definitely worth it! :)
