To be or not to be fashionable
August 22nd 2011 22:30
Sometimes I find fashion perplexing. Sometimes I flick through fashion magazines and I think the styled shoots are just....messy. I can see that what has been put together is on trend, but often I don't think that makes for a good outfit. Often, the stuff just doesn't work together. How is that fashion?
Six belts, and cardigan that looks like it was made of rope thrown over a maxi dress with shoes that don't match isn't wearable - well, it shouldn't be - and it doesn't really look good. All the individual pieces may be fabulous independently but when did a mis-matched outfit become a sign of style?
As I said, it perplexes me.
If you look at lasting style icons - Jackie O, Princess Di and today's Michelle Obama and now Kate Middleton, they're not and were not getting about town in on-trend but puzzling combinations of clothing, and as a result theirs are the names that appear constantly on international best dressed lists.
And that's what I remind myself when I deliberate over the on-trend Sass & Bide dresses then instead head back over to Wayne Cooper.
