I hope the metallic trend doesn’t continue to Milan and Paris

Published by

New York Fashion Week is a metallic mess. The huge trend for Fall Winter 2009 – 2010 is metallics. It’s often metallics combined with 80s influence. The result isn’t pretty I usually am a fan of Jonathan Saunders, but he lost me this year. I don’t know what to say about Marc Jacobs. I guess I couldn’t expect him to top last season Erin Fetherston yikes Preen – God those pants, hideous. Barbara Tfank – Prom gone so very wrong I’m hoping Milan and Paris redeem this season otherwise I’m going to be cringing in fall when this stuff translated down into fashion fashion. images: thefashionspot.com

Crazy Lady is now a trend

Published by

Refinery29 had me laughing with their top 13 trends from London Fashion Week Crazy Lady—Over the top, under the table. We can’t tell which it is, but we still feel a certain sisterhood with this level of eccentricity. So maybe we’re crazy, too. From left: Temperley, Topshop Unique, Aquascutum, Topshop Unique Crazy Lady is now an official trend. I wonder how this is going to play out in Spring 2009. We still have Paris to see if this trend will become entrenched or not. In New York, Marc Jacobs kicked off the trend.

I’ve been talking to reporters again

Published by

This time I’m in the National Post in the story called: Fall fashion wishlist: What I want right now It’s that time again. You know, “season of mists and mellow fruitfulness.” But for many of us, it’s also hunting season. Fall fashion-hunting season, that is. September’s fashion mags are full to bursting with images of impossibly lanky people – with apparently bottomless pocketbooks and no end of leisure – striding forth into the brisk autumn air dressed in riding boots, designer jackets and loads of cashmere. Who are these people and how can they afford this stuff? Do they not have day jobs? It’s not that we can’t enjoy the fantasy, but what we really want to know is what stylish people with real jobs intend to buy this fall. So Vivian Vassos asked more than a dozen fashionistas across the country, from editors to stylists to retailers, to fill us in on their personal shopping lists for the season. Click the link to read the article and see what I’m lusting for this fall.

The Balenciaga Influence – shoe trends

Published by

It’s interesting to watch the progression of a trend. Example the Balenciaga Lego shoe. I’ve been wondering how long it would take to filter down to mass market level. Here is a rough timeline: Feburary 2007 – Balenciaga debuts the shoe during the Fall/Winter 2007 – 2008 runway show. June 2007 – Beyonce is spotting in the C3PO leggings. A few months later she is sporting the lego shoes; paparazzi fodder. I groan. April 2008 – Steve Madden did the more literal version of the Balenciaga Lego shoes, they are absolute monstrosities. Today – September 2008 – Now good old Aldo is doing the inspired version. So can still see the influence though.

NYC Fashion Week Spring 2008 – Street Trends

Published by

There were two things that really stuck out for me in New York. 1. Men carried Manbags. All kinds of guys with all kinds of bags, not just the fashion insiders. I liked the look actually and I hope it spreads. Hell, I even liked the guy rocking the clutch at Phi. Find your Man bag here. 2. Goyard is king. I didn’t see a lot of Louis Vuitton, but I saw a lot of Goyard, fake and real. You could get Goyard fakes on every street corner. At night, every street corner had a bunch of guys selling handbags out of garbage bags and boxes. Fucking hilarious. For those that don’t know, Goyard is an old french company that makes very expensive luggage and handbags. images: balenciaga.com and businessweek.com

The midriff is coming back, God please no!

Published by

I’ve noticed a few runways shows for Spring 2008 that have featured the dreaded midriff. I saw some midriff action at Doo Ri. I was hoping that it was just one of those random things, but it seems to be gathering steam. Perhaps it won’t be a full blow trend for Spring 2008 (and god I hope so), but I can see a return to it in Spring 2009.

Trend Forecasting – Fall 2008/2009

Published by

I attended a Fall 2008-2009 trend forecasting seminar with the Toronto Fashion Incubator. It’s a membership perk as this seminar is not open to the public. I also have access to the Womenswear trendbook at the TFI office. These books are amazing and extremely pricey. I’m loving the ideas for Fall 2008. I took a whole ton of notes and I have to compile them. The seminar was given by Natalie Gauthier from the company Promostyl, International Trend Research and Design Agency.

The Canuck version of the Haramaki

Published by

I’ve talked about my love for the Haramaki on I want – I got. I was happy that Alex from Yogagurl dropped me a note to let me know about their belly warmers. They are unfortunately only available in black. What I love about the japanese version is the colours and prints. However, if you aren’t into crazy prints and colours this would be a good purchase. Yogagurl is based out of Toronto, Ontario. images: yogagurl.com, www.1101.com

Technosexuals, me and Amber MacArthur

Published by

I somehow managed to get myself on television on Friday. Citytv international’s Amber MacArthur was doing a piece on the new Calvin Klein perfume in2u and I guess I was the subject matter expert. The marketing is just nutty for this brand. Here is an example of the crap they are coming up with. “We have envisioned this as the first fragrance for the technosexual generation,” said Mr. Murry, using a term the company made up to describe its intended audience of thumb-texting young people whose romantic lives are defined in part by the casual hookup. Last year, the company went so far as to trademark “technosexual,” anticipating it could become a buzzword for marketing to millennials, the roughly 80 million Americans born from 1982 to 1995. A typical line from the press materials for CK in2u goes like this: “She likes how he blogs, her texts turn him on. It’s intense. For right now.” She likes how he blogs, her texts turn him on. BARF! This drivel is just not computing in my brain. …

Diaper Shorts – BuzzFeed

Published by

I got linked on BuzzFeed for my post about Sienna Miller doing the diaper short all wrong. BuzzFeed is a trend site that combs the Internet to find what is buzzworthy. They post site links to these buzzworthy topics. I am among different bloggers who all talked about the diaper pants fad. I am a fan of the fashion buzz section. Like the diaper pants trend, the turban is another trend that I don’t want to see in real life. BuzzFeed distinguishes what is actually interesting from what is merely hyped. We only feature movies, music, fashion, ideas, technology, and culture that are on the rise and worth your time. How it works 1. Buzz Detection We automatically detect new buzz by crawling 50,000 of the very best web sites, blogs, and news sources. Then our technology crunches the raw data from these sites to identify new buzz that’s just starting to spread.

Haramaki, get your belly warmers

Published by

Reader submissions are a beautiful thing. I thank reader JP from blogUT.ca for this little fashion nugget from Japan, Haramaki. Haramaki translates to belly warmer. Traditionally used for abdominal health purposes they are quickly becoming a fashion trend. After my initial WTF reaction to the Haramaki, I’m starting to really like them. The prints are great and they are perfect for layering. I love the look in the picture posted above and that is what sold me on the Haramaki. Pingmag.jp has more pictures of Haramaki style that you should check out. I wonder how long it will take this trend to make it over to the West. images: pingmag.jp
