The best and the beautiful were sent down the
runway in a fit of fashion folly for fall 06-07.
Men were given the right to flash like a peacock
and women were decked out in fur, frills and decadence
worthy of the Royals. Both men’s and women’s
couture hit a high note for its spectacular vision
of the 40’s with a medieval slant that bespeaks
religious overtones and gaudy sentimentalism.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, I’ll
save the small stuff for another time. It’s
the pictures that deserve top billing here. There
were hats in many of the couture collections,
which is good. If I were you (a hat manufacturer)
I would go about contacting some of the non-hat
fashionistas and sell your wares.
It is obvious that designers are bored with convention
– they want something out-of-this-world.
They must think the customer wants something outer-worldly
too. And with a raging war - and a society that
has its head stuck inside their palm pilots -
why not indulge the senses?
