frustrates me so much when these people don't follow the theme!!
probably because I'd give an arm and two legs to go!!!

which is why Beyonce, Christina Ricci, and Naomi Campbell are definitely my favourites (so far).

I'm not impressed by anything this year. I'm so disappointed! Diane looks great but its hard to see everything with the watermarks anyway.

I don't know if it's laziness as much as corporate culture that means we don't get as much McQueen as we should.

This event gets a lot of press and I think it would be pretty difficult for designers to fully support another designer. I think it's great that Zac and Karl had their girls in McQueen-esque stuff, but at the end of the day they are there to promote their own lines and make their shareholders happy.

The same is true with all the little starlets. They bring press interest to the event and I'm sure that their handlers do not want them to take any fashion risks should they get on some dreaded worst dressed list in People magazine. It's horrible but true.

But I don't know if putting a model or celeb in a black or neutral colored sheath from the latest collection is a better promotion of the label than making a dramatic garment that embodies that designer's interpretation of savage beauty or McQueen. Plus this is not only an issue this year, this has also happened in previous years when the concept was not designer related.
