They're either into throwaway dressing or they are blindly following some of the so-called "fashion icons" extant in the land, who dress like circus clowns.<br /><br />Anna Wintour has copped out. She is not doing what Vogue did in the past - leading her readers toward elegant style. Rather she and that monstrous man who guides her are pandering to the most common (a real epithet in our family) tastes.<br /><br />Some of us women of a certain age, without benefit of big spending accounts, knew more about elegance at 18 than women twice that age know now. They are lost with no one to guide them.<br /><br />Anon2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-72303261689145528562012-03-07T12:51:15.069-05:002012-03-07T12:51:15.069-05:00Could still happily wear some of these pieces, mou...Could still happily wear some of these pieces, mourning my no longer being able to wear the bare ones, but.....<br /><br /> Simple elegance. Clean. Impeccable. And so wearable.<br /><br />(When I see the kitsch on the various Red Carpets, I wonder why some "star" hasn't found this designer? Maybe he'd rather they'd not?" <br /><br />Anon2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-17915849550511714082012-03-06T08:48:54.380-05:002012-03-06T08:48:54.380-05:00Thank you for your commentary on Chado Ralph Rucci...Thank you for your commentary on Chado Ralph Rucci.

For a rather small design studio such as Chado there is most likely not an ability to participate in this farcical dance, nor the interest. And so, he pays in another way. But, time will tell. This is a small studio and small business which has made American fashion history. Not even a legion of Anna Wintours along with all the members of her court can ever and will ever change that fact.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-59338821387228966882012-03-04T20:50:46.204-05:002012-03-04T20:50:46.204-05:00Two interesting articles from Cathy Horn in the ti...Two interesting articles from Cathy Horn in the times,<br />" Why Raf Simons was dismissed " and " Rey Kawakubo"<br />Your billet made my Sunday as usual, I plugged the Mac in the LD and let the magic happen !
