Interesting article here :-

Whoever would have thought that Camilla Parker Bowles would one day come to represent the fashion zeitgeist !!!

Thanks for the article, kit. Not sure if I buy the whole Camilla chic bit. I think this might just be a case of a British journalist overemphasizing the British influence on fashion in a British publication. I think, if anything, the fall collections are evading any sort of classification thus far. It's going to make the job of trendmakers and analysts even more difficult!

^I agree, i just think it makes an interesting tie in with current affairs as the Charles/Camillia wedding is such big news here, people were literally like 'what do you think about it?' But the main theme I saw, the 'new' silhouette isn't exactly a trend.

i have to say that this fashion week in milan was very important for me, it canged my life, for the first time i saw the models (my life) was all amazing... the energy of the show, all the stuff.. everythin'.. i'll never forget my 'first time'

I'm actually trying hard imaging Miucia Prada digged herself in public libraries' archives looking for Camilla's pictures:-))))

Do British people want to be sources of inspiration of everything (again-)? Or is the writer trying too hard?

Thanks for the articles, Kit:-)
