Wishful Thinking Trends

One of the most fun shows every season is the Agatha Ruiz de la Prada show. She always has the most creative and out there clothes. I don't think you could actually wear them, but I totally would. Especially this one.

It has one of those tunnels you would crawl through as a child attached to it! Wouldn't it be great if all clothes could have toys attached? You would never be bored!

Wishful Thinking Trends

From London Fashion Week: Hoop Skirts!
I can't even say how much I love hoop skirts.
Me sad because I can't fit into the awesome hoop skirted costume


So I was very excited when I saw Charles Anastase's spring 2010 collection, with several hoop skirts. The entire collection was also pretty cool, kind of what I would imagine one of the little urchin children from Charles Dickens would wear today.

Why London Fashion Week is Awesome

Hats. Seriously, although it's not that surprising considering that England is pretty much the only place where people actually wear hats for anything other than warmth.
Best hat ever from last fashion week, Spring 2009, from Giles:

Giles just showed for Fall 2009 and although it didn't really measure up to the Pacman hat, I think it would be impossible to even do that.

This hat is still pretty cool. Its like a fancy umbrella hat! Although I'm not sure what I like better, the hat or the crazy monster fur arm warmers.
He did seem to pay homage to his past Pac-Man themed show:

It's like a fancy version of one of the Pac-Man ghosts! I wish someone had worn that to the Oscars!!!

Why Fashion Shows During Recessions Stink

I understand that designers are trying to make more wearable clothes during the recession because people are less likely to spend lots of money on crazy clothes. Still, this doesn't have to equal sad and depressing. An example is Christopher Kane during London Fashion week.
His last show, Spring 2009:

His newest show, Fall 2009:


Michael Kors had the right idea, in my opinion, with his florescent fur coats. Wearable doesn't have to mean gray and black!
