FALL for a new season

This season has become a little bit more put together, a little cleaner: I think the word I'm looking for is CLASSIC. I am happy about this direction, because as much as this "originality" concept was a driving force and an excuse to sell hideous clothing. I think the true Fashion Forward individuals didn't get caught up in this mess of a trend.
This season; designers have been paying homage to Yves Saint Laurent. And I know his name is becoming quite repetitive in the last couple entries I've made. However where respect is due, repetition could never be redundant.
For Fall 2008, we will see alot of Blazers, some with shoulder pads, alot of shear dresses, and patented leather, whether it be in a classic pump, some gladiator boots, or suicide heels. The Ivy-League look has become a unisex concept and has produced alot of Oxford slip-ons for women, wingtips and Cardigans with stripes and Patches as emblems.
This fall is something to look forward to, so if you were one of those fools that got caught up in the 80's trend of spandex and all these hideous remnant's from the 80's, please hurry to your local dumpyard and burn these items, so that nobody else will wear them AGAIN!

Androgyny? or De-Feminism

Is the female gender's strength being measured by how manly they dress?
Androgyny was always a concept I embraced in Fashion. When Yves Saint Laurent made a whole show about women of strength, materialized the whole deal for me.
However until earlier this morning I never thought what the reason for androgyny being so widely embraced in the business world. I realized that men were always considered the stronger of the two and women were “emotional” and in order to match the two or at least create an image of equality women had to conform to a manly façade. “Look the part” they say. Women for centuries were subjected to this ideal, and whenever one of them went against that ideology, they were labeled as “butches”. The term butch, doesn’t necessarily refer to a lesbian with manly characteristics, it’s a woman taking on a manly image.
Today, we embrace androgyny like New York’s polluted air. However whether your androgynous characteristics is to be accepted in the business world or just to show variety in your fashion sense; androgyny is the sexiest concept ever to grace the Fashion World.

FASHION. The new crack?

Could this be the newest trend in Fashion? Over the years grunge has made an appearance on runways with layered looks that mimic that of Kurt Kobain as well as Perry Ellis by Marc Jacobs in 1992.
I must say, fashion seems to be the new crack. The same addiction that was once savored for drug-addicts has switched drug of choice into something that's wearable.
So the question in motion is, what's the next thing in Fashion? With looks that are tribal influence as well as the ever re-used layered look, what are these Fashion junkies going to look like for the fall?

DAI-ly DANCER

Dainene Baldwin, better off known as Dai is the embodiment of an individual. She bursts with personality that immediately grabs the attention of everyone around her. She's a dancer by profession but the girl is multi-talented. When I asked her what she wants to do? She replied, "I'm not saying I wanna do it all, but I dabble in it all...everyone should sparkle."
Her style is uncategorized, she mixes in pop colors with vintage wear polished over with her own touches. The girl has sex appeal, and when I asked what inspires her, she responded, "PRINCE, as crazy as that sounds to say a person inspires me, but he is raunchy, his performances get me opened." What can I say the girl doesn't miss a word.
You can find her on tour with Lil Mama, to the backstreets of Soho, the sidewalks are her runway; so watch out world!
