How does everyone feel about seasons? It's pretty weird how they work really so far ahead, like they were pushing themselves further and further back til it got a bit silly 
And I also agree with Leeroi in saying that they all focus on a trend so that it's all commercialised. I think I heard that WGSN sell their trend predictions to anyone from Prada to Primark, so they all have a common theme to go on... but this kind of takes away the originality of ideas and creativity doesn't it? I guess there are pros and cons either way I'm just trying to gather as many points as I can for my feature and weigh them up  |
You're right. Back then when people wore Dior, Balenciaga, Givenchy, or Yves Saint Laurent, people knew from a distance who they were wearing because each designer had different ways of styling, workmanship, and ofcourse overall design. Now designers have succumbed to trends that you'll probably have to look at style.com to see who the designer is that created that specific jacket, dress, or pants since many of them look the same.
Think of it this way; look at the book with focused eyes, the words are all separate and distinguishable; that's the fashion of the past. Now if you look at the same book with crossed-eyes, the words are blurry and interconnected, undistinguishable from one another; that's the fashion of today, but you'll notice that some words still do stand out.... that's Margiela and Alaia for you.
