Time Lag...

I know, I know, I know. I forget to update this thing! And, it gets a surprising amount of hits! Who knew?!

Since I last updated, fashion has of course changed. Some of the changes were awesome--Kate Spade started putting out a rtw collection. I was in the front row at their first show and it was wonderful. There was one terrible change in the fashion world...Lee Alexander McQueen tragically took his own life.

Attached is a picture of one of my favorite Alexander McQueen pieces that I've owned. The cut was ingenious...there were no side seams yet the fit was amazing. Its heartbreaking to think that the man who dreamed up the skirt won't be around to keep on dreaming up more wonderful artwork.

Suicide is never the answer.

Vacation Time!

A good part of the time Resort collections feel like they are simply composed of the stuff that was made for other collections that wasn't good enough to be shown but not so terrible as to be completely discarded.  Which is probably Resort is probably the most forgotten and least cared about of all of the "seasons".  

Marni's Resort 2010 collection feels like anything but things that should have stayed on the cutting room floor.  It is classic Marni--interesting pieces that you'll never have a fat day in.  Sure, there were no soul-stirring prints, but the cuts and colors were such that they really aren't "resort" pieces, but a whole collection of classic basics that could be worn year after year.  That is nothing less than a successful collection.
