Arts & Crafts

When I started this, the goal was to become a great fashion blogger, the insider of all things "haute". Instead, this has become of collection of notes about what I buy or want to buy or what I have read in some brainless periodical or made in my joke of a kitchen.

This time, however, I will write about fashion. FASHEEYON! I have been getting the WWD news alerts in my email for about three years, so it's about time I use that info up in this biAtch!

While I was buried under the NYC snow, somewhere in Milan, another Fashion Week came and went. No, I was not asked to attend any of the shows this year (to my surprise,) but I peeked at all of them via slide shows and various online postings. One thing is 'fo sho' -- knitting is gonna be HUGE! This Fall, everything will be knitted: shoes, bags, garments, undergarments. Let's take D&G for Fall 2010. I am pasting a few looks, but if you have the time to view the whole collection, be my guest over here.

OK, so here we have a few sweater-swimsuit variations, apparently appropriate for the office because these girls look like they mean business. The idea is rather absurd, yet I am fantasizing about a job when I could wear this and be simply "one of the girls who is into fashion." It could just be the models --everything looks good on if you are skinny. Or some genius behind the styling of the show that worked his magic to put together these 74 looks. A myriad details later, he had these chicks walking down the runway looking oh so comfy and cute. Forget the fact that it seems a-seasonal -- your arms and legs will be cold, but your back will be sweating -- I want me one of these onesies.
