Michelle Williams looks absolutly adorable and twiggy-esque for the cover and editorial in this months Vogue. I got mine in the mail yesterday and the cover is fitting for the rest of the magazine. The issue portrays fashions as highly "accross the pond". Somehwat typical of fall to see that equestrian, english countryside feel. However if this isn't your vibe, the magazine also portrays the parisian edge of autumn. Over all though not Vogues best issue. Again it was compact and weighed less than the telephone book, signs of budget cuts and furgality were evident as many designers chose not to feature ads (St Johns, Elie Tahari, Etro, Roberto Cavalli all MIA). Even the ads for Nordstroms looked as though production costs were tightened. Still whimsical like a modern day Mary Poppins but not as vibrant. A Key note to mention though were the dresses. Coming closer and closer to the holiday season, therewill be a definate shift in what constitues formal partywear. Not to say the full length dress will be gone from sight but there is an uprising in the mentality that shorter dresses can be just as classy and acceptable for holiday partys. I think it is a fitting look for the times. Choosing the semi formal over the formal. No one wants to look like they are flaunting money or living a lifestyle they aren't these days.
I caught Proenza Schoulers S/S 2010 runway on TV this past weekend. Again like Balenciaga, not a huge shift from the trends for fall. There are alot of pieces that will carry you through and save on your shopping budget. Watching the show, it showed that the designers are right on track with what is going to be bred from fall this year and hot in Spring2010. A beautiful color palette. Nothing overly vibrant that would normally scream SPRING, a loser shilouhette for dresses that was still very feminine and strong, good mix of textiles and prints. Somewhat at times a bid of a 70's mod vibe with longer sleeves when pairing up seperates. It was an effortless easy looking collection, which is always in style for spring.
Now time for me to fess up about something. After doing a little more research on these H&M / Payless collections I came to realize the photos online Iwas viewing were right from the runway and NOT the RTW. So what this means is that I must hold any further verdict for a month until they are in store. I hate how they do that, show one thing on the runway and another in stores. Similiar but different. Almost like knockoffs of themselves. Regardless I will still be in the lines (which I am sure there will be) on the release date before the store opens. Ready to battle it out with anyone who gets in my way! Alot of women would avoid situations like this at all cost. The ones that love the clothes but hate the shopping and crowds. To them I Say fashion is brave! so must you be to!
Tonight I fully intend to be brave in regards to my fashion. The opening show for Alberta Fashion week that features two of the designers from Project Runway Canada; Adejoke Taiwo and Camille Prins. Both have a great deal of talent and produce modern, realistic RTW clothes.
I will be in a midnight blue Betsey Jonhson dress from 07, cropped,bomber style leather and jersey jacket I got last fall from a boutique in TO and I ended up buying a new pair of shoes.... I know sad face but it was absolutly necessary. Besides I had gone two weeks with a zero balance on my credit cards! They are a mixed medium, black suede and silver leather, ankle cut round toe shoe. Such a perfect balance between the flirty sophisticated side of the dress and the edge of the jacket. Tres Happy! They were only 100.00, which yes I could have used for something like setting up my cable or food or even maybe, radical idea, saved. Yet "I am a weapon of massive consumption, It's not my fault its how I'm programmed to function."
I function very well I might add. Always at maximum output.
