Predictions for NY Fashion Week

..... just so that people can tell me how wrong I was afterwards

Models who have already had a season who will clean up..

Toni... no brainer
Agyness... she's back
Iris .. covers of Paris Vogue and Love Mag...'nuff said
Constance.. because she's so bloody beautiful
Sigrid... because she's amazing
Nimue, Katrin, Vogue Italia etc
Myf ... Stephen likes her, Muccia likes her ...case closed
Georgina... she's amazing

New girls who will break out...
Rose Cordero... ofcourse
Isa Askloff... she has the hype
Roza Gough
Diandra
Michelle Westgeest... she was amazing at couture
Georgie.. not really new but (its my blog... i can break my rules)

Girls I want to see break out but I think they will do just OK
Steph Carta
Selina
Addison Gill

Girls who did well last season who I think will not do so well this time
(scandalously...and I really want to be wrong) Catherine McNeill looked awful at couture, I think she will still do well, but just not AS well...unless she covers it with an exclusive
Cato van Ee ... just a feeling, because I find her boring
Skye Stracke..she did amazing at Couture, walked Chanel, walked everything, but again just a feeling
Ali Michael and Alice B are others in this category for me, but they didn't get showcards for New York, (but I hope to see them in London and Europe), so it's not much of a guess there

Most promising NZers
Stella Maxwell and Michael Whittaker


There we go... recap in a week's time at the end of NY shows!!

Jean Paul Gaultier makes me want to get married...

Couture, being in many ways the apex of fashion, is, I think a fitting first post for my blog on all things fashion (plus a bit of whatever else interests me), music, art, movies, books, gossip, politics...

I always look forward to couture, and this sheer flamenco inspired Gaultier gown worn here by Georgina Stoljovic could even inspire me to lose 5 kilos and get married...

There's a lot of debate on the relevance of couture, but I see it the same way as an art dealer would put on an exhibition.. in all cultures, historical and modern, even in times of great poverty, people have expended their time and energy making art and beautiful things, and when you think about all the energy expended on ugly shit like wars and other pointless ugliness , who the heck is complaining about this??

....So Gaultier was my favourite Collection, but Chanel was fighting for my affections all the way!
I could also wear this gorgeous(but not so sexy) number from Chanel. I thought Karl as always hit the zeitgeist right on the head with his pared back, paper- inspired collection. The paper flower set was almost operatic!
