Well, not this time.
Just some honest conversation about current fashion. :)
This year has seen an influx of rather...interesting colours and designs, but the 'most wearable' list is actually quite modest and becoming...for this day and age at least.
This is the current pantone colour palette for the fall/winter seasons.
As you can see, understated jewel tones are all the rage these days, including a saturated red, deep purple, and vibrant pink.
Of course, such fashion lines as Prada and Dior took the palette to an extreme...as usual.
Beyond that though, there have been some remarkably beautiful and modest styles this year.
Take for instance the top five fashion styles this year:
While the last photo is a little...extravagant...each and every one of these are relatively becoming. Number two and three are exceedingly modest at the same time.
Or what about Porly? Bringing in a Catholic vibe, the colours are based on gold, black and the deep Samba red that is so popular this season.
Then we have Polo Ralph Lauren.
Beautiful lines, patterns, and design. The cut of the item on the left is both modest and form-flattering at the same time. Not exactly something easily accomplished. What stands out about the item on the right, is the layering and combination of texture, pattern, and form.
Also observe the return of the 'dreaded' sandles and socks made infamous by hikers and gentlemen alike. Unlike though, than that fashion faux pas, this combination of socks and sandles is extremely becoming, and more than enough to convince the average viewer that maybe it is not as bad as is indicated.
Here we have instantly wearable Giulietta and Josie Natori on the left and far left, and then items strippers ought to avoid on the right by Antonio Berardi and Tory Burch. Not to mention the lines of both being extremely ill-flattering.
And of course Rodarte never disappoints by proving that the jumper dress is indeed not out of style quite yet.
(And observe the sandle/sock combination once again.)
Oh, and last but not least, there's always one fashion company determined to undermine their prestigious title by designing fashion nightmares such as this:
A...chip bag...
Not much one can say about that.
Let's just hope Moschino realizes that designs of that tenor will never sell to the average (if well-off) American.
Anyway, that's all folks!
Adieu,
Yeshua be with you this week!!
