Yeah that's pretty much what I meant

...I'm not suggesting that German fashion is conservative by definition, but I think this collection is unexpectedly (for me, at least) representative of a certain look that's dominated the German market for years. tricotineacetat described it rather well in the Strenesse thread.... See all that weird matronly beige and cream silk georgette stuff from the first half (and there's plenty more where that came from, I left out a big chunk)? I think that at this very moment a good percentage of the older female population of Germany is walking around wearing pretty much exactly that.
