I’m sick. Again. I’m really done being sick - I don’t know what is going on. I blame it on an unidentified person or persons at fashion week. Anyway, let me give you a rundown in case you missed my Tweets. Then I am going to crawl into bed and try not to die.
Fashion Week this season was considerably smaller than previous seasons. Rather than a full schedule, there were about half the designers showing. Speculation suggested that it was due to a fall in retail sales, designers having to shut their doors, and the ever-growing New York Fashion Week-and-a-Half.
The shows that I did see were all quite good. My favorite was Bow & Arrow, a structured, mod collection in black & white with splashes of hot pink. The Green Initiative, a show featuring a half-dozen different eco-friendly designers, was surprisingly stylish.
An interesting trend I noticed was Spring as Fall style. Instead of bulk and structure, there was lots of fluttery chiffon and draped silk. Turquoise and pink replaced many of the deep shades the Fall season normally brings. Is this a response to global warming? Or the fact that Los Angeles doesn’t really have a fall season? Either way, I don’t know that I am ready to embrace this trend.
I am ready to embrace a box of tissues and my pillow. Be back soon…
