That is just the nature of the beast!

A lovely lady asked me yesterday, "If failure was not an option & all wishes came true, what would you love to see happen in the fashion industry? How would you like it to change as you grow into it?"
 

A dear friend of mine  and I were recently touching on how we believe that fashion is not for everyone just like having class exonerates most of us- which is so not a bad thing by the way! Any old shit can go down the runway nowadays and the audience will literally sit there and clap. They themselves kidnap focus and scrutiny, drawing the lens to them more than the clothing that is in sync with rhythm sadly turning itself in one after the other. One may as well be there with damn blinders on, dressed in nothing but opulent jewels that cover what remains as our natural valuables whilst we shift and shuffle in heed to smart phone beeps. With all these being current norms, nothing beats a very straight-forward, intimate and very focused show, where it's suitably edited with a front row guest list that eliminates frivolous fashion subscribers and alters its focus back onto well engineered clothing and the creators thereof who in turn look within themselves instead of around them to find ideas. It is the sign of the times of today though I guess, our trying to be different still fits us all into that very monotonous straw hat, thus point of matter lost. Yes, fashion is ephemeral that is just the nature of the beast. I just live in hope that an intelligent chapter will arise as the world imposes a new way of thinking, a reinvention in fashion that won’t let the media disrupt excellent choices. I want to be a part of that incline.

VINTAGE YEARS AGO

 Before celebrities infiltrated the front rows of Fashion Week, the prized area was filled with fashion editors. At this 1955 Dior show in Paris, Marie Louise Bousquet (center front), Paris Editor of Harper's Bazaar, sits next to Ed in Chief of Harper's Bazaar, Carmel Snow. In the second row: Alexander Liberman, the art director of American Vogue, peers over to get a good view.
