Fashion Bore
Send to a friend:
After watching Bravo’s Project Runway, I flipped through the channels and stumbled upon Rachel Hunter’s Style Me. (A show where people compete to be a stylist for Rachel Hunter- who thought of that?) Style Me reminded me of Hilfiger’s very low rated designer show where his tag line was, “You’re out of style - Hit the runway-” UGHHHHHHH!!!! It seems to me that fashion just isn’t special anymore. Everyone and anyone can have a fashion line. Retail experiences and services are quite terrible even at some of the most high end department stores and boutiques.
I was intrigued with fashion as a child because it was more of an art form to me. The elaborate fashion shows were like mobile museums and the models were like canvases. The models and shows now seem to be replaced by red carpets and actresses, and it feels like the art is gone. Even New York, where I used to visit simply to see different looks and find inspiration, has turned into a place full of fashion clones, victims, and knock-offs.
Everyone (Papierdoll included) has a fashion blog, a t-shirt line, wants to be a designer or stylist. With fashion week starting tomorrow, I hope that we can all embrace the beauty that is the runway show- let’s forget about who is sitting in the front row - and bask in our favorite designer’s art.
