The New Frontier F/W 05.06

[VintagePearls]

What do you guys think? To me it has a sort of "boho feel" without the sloppyness, and a feminine, sleek cowboy likeness to it.

what is new frontier exactly...... !?

 

[Gincat]

I'm thinking its like the wild wild west? Cowboys and the like.

 

[Curious]

I think she's referring the prairie/cowgirl look... the new frontier as in western settlers in the US. Is that correct VintagePearls?



Edit - yeah... what Gincat said Slow posting...

 

[Kimkhuu]

^ ok... now i see, thanks curious....

personnally, this trend is in a huge and awful way on the runways..... and i am definitely not going to be into all this nonsense... got enough of the ugly boho.... now this.......

*runs away screaming*

 

[softgrey]

this stuff completely overlaps the victorian/edwardian/neogothic trend...
it's all the same elements for the most part...
just styled a little differently and with fringe added here and there....

I'm not sure exactly what they meant by the new fronteir... that was the title off of style.com

[EDIT] Yes, the new frontier is I guess a US term (in this case). It was in the 1800's arround the time of Laura Ingles Wilder (an author). With praries and cowboys, I believe. I think of fronteir land at DisneyWorld (Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad... haha, I'm a geekburger)

[Sylphide]

hmm very Laura Ingalls!!

(btw that hermes bag is truly hideous)

 

[Lena]

cowgirl chic?
not sure its for me

 

[laurlaur]

How do people not know about the Frontier? Come on, it's manifest destiny!

I like this version better than the more straight-forward way it was a few years back. This version is less costumy.

Haha, I remember that. My cousins and I all had our red cowgirl boots and red cowgirl hats.

Yeah, I figured that was why. BTW, where are you from?

 

[Lena]

i'm from Greece, its a country in good old europe, mediterenean sea

 

[VintagePearls]

Oh awesome! Yeah, I would say I know a decent ammount about Greece

I think that I would know a fair amount about the source any fashion trend that was taken out of a period from Greek history. Not necessarily every era, but a few.


It's just that there have been a lot of movies and TV shows that were based in the Frontier days. Some that come to mind are Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman, Back to the Future 3, Into the West, Little House on the Prarie, and the women's fashion in pretty much any cowboy movie.
