Well, I work in fashion and part of my job is to keep up with the stuff comming out at runways in paris, milan, NY etc. and these outfits are what fashion is onto now. It's very 70's and ecclectic and , being the fashion ho i am, i really like them. It will take a few years to trickle down to everybody but this is the direction our clothes are going in folks.

I work in fashion, too - and that stuff is a hot mess.

If "this is the direction our clothes are going in," the fashion industry is going to be in deep financial doo-doo for a looooooong time. Because dressing a few fad whores in New York and LA won't help them make the rent. shrug

"[T]rickle down to everybody..." You mean...like pee?

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

That, of course, is the other thing. Like I'm going to let some 20-something I've never heard of influence the way I dress. lol

I thought all that mess was junk. Most of them look like they rolled out of bed or something. What with the high-water chartreuse pants and that spiderweb blouse, ilk!

Yep, just like pee

Anyway, it's high fashion and that's what vogue is about right? It's not the People magazine best dressed list. They aren't clothes that most of us can pull off, but I think it's interesting. They're not telling people to wear those outfits, but they can be inspiring as far as putting interesting textures, colours, patterns and silhouettes together.

Matchy matchy dressing is hecka boring.

IMO, the thing about fashion of this kind is that you can choose to participate, to completely ignore it or to incorporate whatever you like about it into your own wardrobe. But really, very few people will ever wear EXACTLY what is show in any of those pictures (maybe in NY and LA). It's not like jeans, some capris (is that right, capris? lol or a capri? hmmm ), or a skirt that most people would havein their closet. Especially these days when, thankfully, trends don't envelope 4/5ths of world, leaving the remaining 20% looking like nerds. lol Very few things about the modern world make me COMPLETELY happy, but the fact that it's acceptable to find your OWN style and rock it freely is definitely one of them.

Uh, yeah. There's a lot of territory between hecka boring (I don't see anyone making a case for matchy matchy) and hecka fugly. rolleyes

I absolutely agree. I think having your own style, whether its jeans and t-shirt or what these ladies are wearing, is cool. I don't like dressing like everybody else, that's why i like some of these ecclectic looks. It would be very boring indeed if the whole world did get enveloped by trends. Hey, to each their own right?

Fugly is in the eye of the beholder. Style is an objective thing, right?

No, it isn't. Style (in terms of fashion) is subjective - not objective.

Oops, sorry for the mistake. It is subjective, as in being in the beholder's mind. That is what i meant.
