Beyond Thunderdome

Yanuk featured models in denim corsets, skinny jeans, and wild frayed coats. And remember the tuck and roll of the 80s? You know where you folded your jeans in at the ankle and rolled it up nice and tight? It appears the tuck and roll has evolved, Yanuk's designer used safety pins to make the slim line. Models donned chain head bands, giving the whole thing a Mad Max vibe kind of crossed with Cyndi Lauper if she was to be drained of all her color. Again, the color palatte was drab and sooty. Apparently denim goes chimney sweep this year. The designers wife was booted from the second row to make room for a bunch of nobodies, who were almost booted for a sorta somebody, ice skating queen Tara Lipinski, who I am dubbing the Paris Hilton of LA Fashion Week, she was everywhere. Speaking of Paris, Alex, the Faux Paris was at the show getting photographers all excited until they swarmed around her and realized, "wait her boobs are too big! That's not Paris!" Scott Weiland was there too, with his date Mary. I asked him what he thought of the show, he paused and said "I like the leather." Weird thing is, I don't remember seeing any leather...

[Doesn't matter]

If you were at the Fashion clearly you must've seen leather; if you didn't you shouldn't be in the fashion industry. Second, I believe that LA has seen the worst fashion compare to NY or european cities, therefore you should probably stop complaining about what you saw and feel fortunate to have seen this type of fashion... Think about it the way you critize lines is absord, in europe you wouldn't even be a critique because of your lack of fashion knowledge....

Are you French? You must be French.
Your attitude sucks. "We should feel fortunate"? The stuff coming from LA based designers is some of the best stuff I've seen. It's when LA tries to mimic European and New York fashions, that it goes wrong. LA is coming into it's own. And mark my words, it will take over the world. Chanel did an LA-centered ad campaign with a California license plate that reads "Chanel." St. John's last campaign features a Hollywood starlet reading her script and now who is their new model? A Hollywood actress. Same with Versace, Viutton. Get over yourself. I don't feel lucky to see saftey pins in jeans. I saw it already... when I was in eight grade.
