But working last minute , doing everything as someone else namely "Marni" for a while , does not make a collection . If you get your mind right you can do right /// Any way they will reap praise on her , cause the system is fixed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-28084632443157006112011-02-20T17:46:10.477-05:002011-02-20T17:46:10.477-05:00Just a thought: but it must be terribly hard to cr...Just a thought: but it must be terribly hard to create sensational clothes, and regularly. Plus, after a certain age, nothing seems fresh, and this is not limited to fashion. Every look refers to something from a familiar past. Music, fashions, books, become monuments to tedium. Sounds if we're overdue for true genius to wake us from our doldrums.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-39289035894169882522011-02-20T12:35:35.276-05:002011-02-20T12:35:35.276-05:00Fluff, did you read the Chloe Malle article in NYT...Fluff, did you read the Chloe Malle article in NYT on Restoin Roitfeld gallery opening ? Entitled "Soho gallery opening, black of course."I nearly died laughing...<br />Miss. Malle is of course the daughter of Candice Bergen and Louis Malle.

I've been looking at her "conceptual" collections for years now wondering what she was/is trying to accomplish? It's not like this look is new or rarely done. I guess she doesn't want to be considered "boring" or something in the days of flash and mass. It's a pity because there are fewer and fewer designers that make clothes which actually look good on women these days.<br /><br />The media environment has caused some of these designers to go into areas best left alone, IMHO. Vera and Donna are two prime examples of this.<br /><br /><b>brooksie</b><br /><br />BTW <b>Fluff</b> I read you most recent review of Rodarte.

Of course. That's her niche. But there's probably some backstage drama going on that we're not privy to. Isn't that usually the case when there's such a disconnect?<br />In the meantime, don't you just hate it when they try to rewrite history?Edwina@FASHION+ARThttp://www.edwinaowenselliott.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-69250818929805945772011-02-18T12:03:45.952-05:002011-02-18T12:03:45.952-05:00It is no longer about fashion.

It's just plain commerce , it's not cars or appliances, it's dresses; we talk about fashion as if there was still an art sense in it, a purpose, there is none anymore. Dollar signs only. In the middle of this mess we still find things to love, a sleeve, a color, but the super explosion of commerce in fashion, this manufacturing madness for dying economies, makes me want to wear what I collected over the years when fashion was an art, a way out, a door to somewhere else... It is no more...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-62919820447740928832011-02-17T21:03:16.347-05:002011-02-17T21:03:16.347-05:00Thanks for your wonderful reviews.
