so i'm usually pretty casual about clothes. every now and then you can catch me mocking sorority girls fromping down the street like a big, nasal sounding cloud of frosted hair strips and clickety-clackety shoes and CK perfume, true, but really, i'm all for looking good if you are somebody else, just not.. me. you go sister-friend and all that. but. i found some sample images from the recent 'fashion week' in new york online. now, basically, it's a week where a whole bunch of designers and expensive women with creepy makeup and hair show us extreme versions of what they envision us, The Others, wearing in watered down versions come next fall. yes, it's early february and they already know what'll be good for the fall. anyhow. i'm prepared for it. it's designers and all that, it's bound to be quite crazy and in many instances physically impossible to wear by a lot of people. i understand that. i don't understand these recent trends. a french designer went to the streets of paris and got inspired, creating 'street-wear' - made to look like ripped plastic bags, little chain belts with tiny bottles hanging from them, etc. now, to the right is a picture of courtney love wearing one of these 'street wear' creations (i think it was galliano) - the infamous 'ripped trash-bag' dress. great. whatever. i'm not even going to mention her face that appear to be falling apart worse than michael jackson nowadays. nope, nope. won't. anyhow. next i know, i found a few betsey johnson creations. these are examples of what she would like the urban woman to wear come fall, at least in some watered down version. HELLO? hookers'r'us?? i like prostitutes as much as the next guy, but are we running out of ideas here? i thought we went through this after pretty woman when they were selling those thigh-high boots and bare sides' dresses everywhere. bah. i guess it's 'street wear' alright. heh.
