The New Frontier F/W 05.06

[fashionista-ta]

Hi, VintagePearls, I agree this is a trend, and it's been documented and building for at least a couple seasons now ... it's been ignored completely by some fashion publications though ... I do believe they see it as declasse ... why oh why would they think that???

Frankly I've seen so much of it here where the West begins for so long (some people wear nothing else for their whole lives) that I have zero plans to allow any of it into my personal wardrobe ... but ... I saw some of this in Ferre S/S, and at least one of the skirts I like *could* be seen thru this lens. Eye of the beholder ...

However, I'm not sure all the images posted here are part of the trend ... but I think a good many of them are. As we have seen before, trends are a bit (OK, more than a bit) in the eye of the beholder

This is sort of part of the whole Georgia O'Keefe style which I feel is in the air. Georgia O'Keefe supposedly made her own clothes! Check out Michael Kors S/S06 for the Georgia O'Keefe look-thankfully sans the faux Navajo jewelry usually associated with this style. And what about the traditional Navajo style: velvet skirts, printed blouses, sashes, chignon. It's not exactly boho, not Frida...

I think I saw some cowboy/farmgirl in D-squared
Most of the times it just looks tacky
