Is gray the new black ?




Well According to bill Cunningham reporting that for the fall fashion week, the people that were attending were dressing with shades of gray which is a very important statement by the fashionista's who are very big in the fashion world are making a subliminal statement. whether this be in regards to the state of the economy or other stimuli going on in the world today.

By wearing shades of gray people may have this very uneasy feeling about the future of our country as a whole in my opinion. moreover these gray statements have been hyped up with very strong splashes of color which could ultimately mean that the world in very uncertain but very optimistic about the change that has taken place in America!

whites only to the runway?



well since president Obama has been elcted their world has gotten bit more colorful and ethic over the past to months. However, since the world is taking of there color blinders they have been many changes for the best such as runway shows over in paris and milan and italy according to the new york times. these models in the pics are now the hottest on the catwalks in europe.

when they used to go fo casting calls that the sheet would say no blacks and that not only sends a bad message but it is not far from being racist. people are calling this the Obama effect where times are changing by acuallaly haveing a man of color in the leadership position in this country.

so this is a very good thing for the fashion in by adding more diveresity to the wholr indutsyr and maybe this wil open up new er and better jobs that peopl of that could very well increase consumer sppending

Recession does not effect every one!!!!!

time Magazine reports that Haut'e couture is still survivng despite the economic slump and the Paris runways and couturier's are still making one a kind looks. Fashion houses like Chanel, Dior, and Christian Lacriox are still providing the world with one of a kind wedding dresses for brides to be who want to be dressed to the tens and pay a pretty large amount of duckettes(money) for haute couture gowns, dresses, and various apparel items.

However, with economy in such a fragile state many designer of major houses fear that it might hurt their sacred craft of tailoring because many or these the buyer of such design originals may stop buying haute couture, this possibly create a demand for this and in the future designers may lose the skill needed and craftsmanship that will be required to be successful as a designer.

As a future and upcoming designer I personally will learn that I possibly can about designer so that in the future i will make it as a designer.
