My head is spinning around this week’s fashion roundup. On the one hand we have Victoria’s Secrets 16th Annual Fashion Show complete with the angels strutting the catwalk in superhero inspired “lingerie” and thigh high vinyl boots and then we have today’s WSJ article about how the most startling thing about women’s fashion right now is how unstartling it is – long skirts, coy necklines and ladylike heels. So which is it for women, are we wonderwomen in lycra body suits and unitards or are we June effin Cleaver? I know we talked about the wasp waist before however it is again being mentioned for spring. Is there such thing as a non-wasp waisted dress? Or maybe a wasp waist alternative? But I digress – so which should I really covet: a strand of pearls or the fantasy treasure bra (worth $2.5 million) and comprised of 3400 gems? And by the way is there a Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show equivalent for women? What would that look like…Hugh Jackman on Broadway?
It seems to me more and more that fashion is mimicking the schizophrenia in the capital markets and I was trying to escape the financial meltdown by leaving Wall Street and becoming a Fashionista…HELP!
