"I do not want all women to look and dress exactly alike. I want them to be as different in their dress as they are in their personalities." I love this pronouncement of Paul Poiret, the magical Parisian couturier who, early in the last century, famously liberated women from the corset. I've always believed that fashion is about freeing us to express ourselves in a way that does justice to our individuality. The Vogue cover girls would agree. They are the first crop of models in a long time to have been given the license - as we saw for fall - to dance on runways (Coco Rocha), wear hair in a uncompromising style of their own (Agyness Deyn's peroxide buzz cut), and swagger sexily (Caroline Trentini). There is an African-American teen who winks at the front row (Chanel Iman) and a Russian beauty who sketches her fellow catwalkers backstage (Sasha Pivovarova). I would encourage designers to take this trend further.
I hope you enjoy reading my blog.
