With one more New York Fashion Week, somehow comes to mind that we like stability. Stability in this case gives to us a beautiful and not so beautiful clothes and tons of celebrities, most of them looking phony dressed in clothes by designers in whose front row they are sitting in. Fashion is business, a business that is forth-largest industry globally and somehow that $500 billion worth thing brings joy and fun. And there was no lack of joy this year in New York. Besides everyone gossips about Alt-Roitfeld failed friendship, Terry Richardson is hugging Emanuelle. Julia Frakes had a problem with dishwasher 10 minutes before the Karen Walker show and fellow brygger has some serious jungle issues. Grace Coddington assiduously takes notes while her boss looks like she is bored to death, as usual. Flamboyant, cool and unique Miss Elson and the rest of the clique gathered around 3W (Wasson, Waris and Wang) are still the ones that have most fun.
And what is splendid is the fact that you can see all this even if you are miles away from New York. Those that are enabling this are tons of PP (party photographers) and SSP (street style photographers) and specialties of the week are certainly street style photos. But sometimes I question myself is it unfair or if not perverted that we are more into stalking the pretty people rather than the pretty clothes. On this issue I found the like-minded, Carine Roitfeld, who herself creates lot of buzz. She told Style.com’s Dirk Standen; “It’s true that, when you go to a show now, the photographers are more interested sometimes in the dress or the jacket you’re wearing than to photograph the show, and I think this is totally wrong. It’s an honor and you smile to the people. But is it normal? I think there is something a bit weird, that more people want to see these looks than want to see what John Galliano or Dolce & Gabbana did for the show.”
After all it’s not easy in the times when begins the end of cold winter trauma and you are more into thinking about short sleeves, to be a prophet. For that, I believe you have to have a little something in your head. Does today’s society appreciate that?
