The start of something new

There are roughly four seasons de fashion in a year, not to mention the resort and pre-fall events that meddle in between. Let me just say fashion is like one big insomniac. It's an on going phenomenon where people within the industry, not to forget ordinary people like you and me, need to take their daily hit. The importance of having very few gaps between fashion seasons are to reduce these withdrawal symptoms. If fashion folk are deprived from runway shows over a long period of time, their sartorial addiction suddenly hits cold turkey. Personally speaking it isn't very pretty. We simply need one little taste to take our edge off. For us ordinary folk, this will leaves us temporarily calm and cool until reality triumphs and your left at Holt Renfrew with your dream shoes snatched out of your arms because of a declined credit card. What do you mean my limit is only $500? Whereas celebrities, editors and other big shots in the industry can easily purchase four of the same kind of Prada shoes. That being said I like to think we ordinary people fight the fight a lot harder. No worries, stay strong. Even if we cannot inherit or afford big ticket items, we are at least given a glimpse in the inside world. With modern day technology we are just as informed and "in the loop" as any other editor in chief that sits in the fore front next to random celebrities like Willow Smith or Julianne Moore. We can just as well if not better spot a woman on the street all dolled up in Marc Jacobs. Precisely! We are the underground fashion gurus. Wow is it just me or was that bone chilling?

Now. A major downside with modern day fashion are the fair shares of redundancies and deja-vus. Out there are many variations of the same thing. We've all seen it. And I'm not solely referring to runway trends hitting mainstream stores like Zara. This also includes runway to runway. I swear i've seen the bright pink suede Phillip Lim overalls at Isabel Marant. Or Vice versa? Essentially it's difficult to pin point something "brand new" or completely original. Though once you find something you know you've never seen before you treat it like a pot of gold. Not the chocolate. Pirate gold. Par exemple, one  day I was surfing the inter web when I discovered the brand Ellery. Whilst skimming through their lookbook I begin to hyperventilate and hallucinate and shout "I've found it I've found it!" I've found only the greatest thing to mankind, the evolution of homeless chic. Now that is something that's right up my alley.

This level of homeless chic stumps perfectly long legs and leaves behind frayed fabric on garments. I know I say this too often but I actually mean it this time. "It's like looking into a mirror". Only this once I'm not using any clever shortening illusions like silky flared leg warmers. Seriously world, it's about time for something new.

You see this. This right here. This is a revolutionary trend where every pair of feet are treated equally. It doesn't matter if you are in $1000 Louboutin or sneakers you found in the dumpster (Kidding. I mean random front lawn...that's worse.) because above it all, all you really see are a stupendous pair of fancy bags around your legs. I beg of you, please do try this at home.

Until next time,
