not so fast, mark…
September 24th, 2009 / Posted by fpcarrie / Permalinkon tuesday, ny daily news reported that designer mark fast intended to use plus-size models on the runway during london’s fashion week.
his stylist and creative director quit 3 days before the show.
if the girls pictured are his models, i think he did a rad job, but…what do you think?

I totally agree with Sherlyn’s word that “A good designer would be someone who can designs clothes that makes EVERYONE pretty. If a dress doesn’t look good on plus or regular person, then he/she should NOT be considered a designer.” I think this post will definitely helpful for the designers as well as readers like me. Thanks a lot for sharing. Keep blogging.

I think the argument for thin models as coat hangers is a valid one, that the clothes do hang better on these women, but I think that the opposite can also be true. In my opinion, women of model-like proportions cannot wear some styles with chunky fabrics, or very structured or curve enhancing shapes. Just as many designer styles look better hanging on a slender woman, some styles look better with the support of a filled-out woman underneath. I’ve seen slender women walking around in thick corduroys and woolen coats, and it looks like they’re wearing upholstery fabric. Similarly, curvier women have long been regarded as sexy, and thin women are boyish as often as they are elegant. It’s just a matter of perspective, in my opinion. And no one design will be flattering to everyone.

I agree with Jen, that he may have just been trying to show his designs were unconvtional and as a result he has now got the wrong type of press. Womens clothing attracts more stories than mens, and he surely misjudged the sensitivities to the zero size dresses.

thursday poll – edition 61 – tighten up/sock it to me
September 24th, 2009 / Posted by fpcarrie / Permalinkwhere does the time go? honestly…
last week we asked you which we the free cover-up you liked best; of the 496 that responded, 237 of you – nearly half of you – liked the wtf silk blazer. :)
i liked that one, too.
onto this week. now that fall is slowly approaching, and we’ve got to think about keeping warm and looking rad, what tights/socks do you like the best? and if you have an opinion as to why, please write and share your thoughts with us! we’d love to know…
let’s start with the double-dye tight…
the backseam sheer hose…
and then our socks, starting with the mosaic cable over-the-knee…
and then the mesh stripe legwarmer, which is more like a footless sock, but…
vote! vote! vote! vote!
AND!!! to boot (no pun intended), we’re offering a special on these items right now…buy 1, get 1 free!!!!!

mesh stripe legwarmers would be soo versatile because they could work as armwarmers or legwarmers, with boots or heels, with jeans or skirt. I really love these……..Boo
- Leanna Doll says:
The double-dye tights all the way! So versatile and chic! Wanttt :P
Oh my gosh, I actually just googled this video the other day. I play a wicked air flute to this song, it’s one of my favorites.
