My Top 10 Predictions


It's so embarassing that I have chosen to post this now- after the shows. I assure you this list was made on 1.3.08 and I have not edited it. Look at Wang's drainpipes above. This was probably my favorite look.

1. Tights will continue to replace leggings as the warm, opaque alternative. However, in order to replace our beloved leggings we will start to see super drainpipe pant styles in fabrics other than denim.
2. It bags are encountering a slow, miserable, kicking and screaming death. The cool girls aren’t carrying logoed bags anymore and neither should you . Don’t buy bags at Barneys Coop. These bags will be tired in 6 months and aren’t worth it even if $500 for a bag sounds like a steal.
3. Even though It bags are dying- prices are still climbing for designer bags. But now they are simple and less decipherable. Luggage and luxury goods manufacturers will appear with more simple and classic bag silhouettes. This means expensive but also super classy.
4. Ethnic prints will be incorporated into everyone’s wardrobe. Or at least should be.
5. Fashion will get greener and greener this year. It may buttom out and by 2009 everything will be made of leather and fur. Or at least, faux fur and animal prints will satisfy our needs.
6. Look to airline stewardesses for inspiration. Those blouses- are the perfect compliment to all the high waists we have seen and will continue to see.
7. Red Carpet style will have rufflled feathers. This is a bit of personal taste being exploited but for god’s sake- NOBODY looks good as the mannequin version of themselves.
8. Cool boys already dress like dandys. It’s about time the girls start to too.
9. Your best outfit is the one you wouldn’t dare wear in public. This year you should and you’ll start your own trend. I am sure of it.
10. Trapeze is over. Toss it (I mourn this one I really do)
