Plaid On Plaid

Japanese tourists on Fifth Ave.

I like the plaids. It's very cozy. It has a very Fall/Winter feel. However, I wonder if plaids overalls and plaid on plaid looks too much? Perhaps, with a beret, ankle length socks and low cut boots to match adds it a certain ala French peasant look? I've spotted this Japanese girl on the 5th Ave. and I, kind of - [to the disappointment of Anna Wintour, I'd guess] - found it adorable.



I do admire, though, the street style of Japanese. I always find them dressed away ahead of time...And they dress the way no one else, really, can dress - the way they mix and match the clothes, accessories and footwear is very inventive, very refreshing. I, personally, can spot a Japanese person miles away, just by the way they dress and accessorize.

What do you think?

She shared with us the things that most of the fashion industry players are afraid to say out-loud....

Thierry Mugler's Anniversary Show in 1995 Last week I told you about my visit to the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) for Evolution of the Fashion Runways: A Photographer's Viewpoint ~ Maria Chandoha Valentino , a fashion runway photographer, who discussed her more than 20-year career on the runaways around the world. She shared her - inside - perspective on how it all started and the 'evolution' of the runaways shows through her personal experiences shooting runway shows in the top fashion capitals of the world. She talked how both the fashion and photography industries have dramatically changed over the years, and how the standards and expectations of both professionals behind the scenes and those of the designers' themselves can no longer satisfy even the most worldly - and 'have-it-seen-all' crowd - who back in the days were satisfied with a warehouse runaway, and now wanting more in terms of the 'performance' and 'presentatio...
