Vindication

I became bored with the current fashion magazines and their boring offerings for Fall 2010. Flash forward to September 2010 and the October issue of American Vogue. I had planned on letting my subscription lapse in 2 months because I simply did not like what I saw. As if in a last minute bid to win me back, here came the editorial piece "The Society Slouch". In this spread, Vogue magazine found its 1930's edge and also decided the short skirt was out, long was in. Not only did the piece point out the new glamorous look, but gave a nod to the influence of 1970's vibe on this mixed era look. The fur throws, tons of black, wide legged trousers and the perfect shade of powder blue to set off the vintage yet modern look...I am in heaven...and vindicated as I wrote in my last several posts about the exact 1930's influence. Even more joy came several days ago when I saw the Spring 2011 Dries Van Noten collection, further influenced by the mixed era idea down to the same blue fur throw. Happy days are certainly here again, at least as far as fashion.
