And so the fashion year begins!! I've always been a big fan of clothes and shoes. For a while, I knew that I liked fashion, but I never really understood the big hype about fashion week.
It was a bunch of girls that were prettier than I, walking around in ridiculous looking outfits no one would wear in the real world.
Then two ideas meshed in my brain.
I have always been a big picture kind of gal. I loved going through stores and looking at their mannequins, the finished product. I would take what I saw (and liked!) and replaced those pieces with clothes I already owned. I would just purchase the pieces I was missing.
Fashion shows are giant moving mannequins performing and displaying art. It was my training in theatre that made me realize this was spectacle. The shows are meant to inspire me to use what I already have in a totally new way, and you know, buy those missing pieces from the designers.
That's what Fashion Week means to me anyway. So bring on the weeks and weeks of fashion!!
