S/S 2013: Picks from the Runway

image

I really want to kiss the foot of whoever invented the internet and how the era of technology progressed. Since I am not, yet, fortunate enough to sit in the front row of the shows, the web has definitely saved a seat for me for them to view. I have selected my favorite picks from S/S 2003 Collection from different designers.

  • THE HELMUT NEWTON EFFECT

Little fierceness is what the women of today always have and will always need with this little leather sheat dress by Jason Wu.

image

  • WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE!

Charlotte Ronson proved that peplum are still a go go in 2013 with this water-nautical inspired look.

image

  • SEEING STRIPES

Different patterns of the same family definitely do collide, always. Black, white and gold dress by Marc Jacobs. 

image

  • PEEK-A-BOO MIDRIFFS

Who says looking sexy and smart is that hard to achieve. Jill Stuart reminds me of the Victorian era with this whole schmear.

image

  • THE ALL WHITE: SLICE AND DICE

Victoria Beckham isn’t just Posh Spice and gave ‘posh’ to this fresh, crip basic white and spiced up with diagonal textured cuts. 

image

  • SHEER BLISS

Plains and Prints, Conservative and Provocative, yes, Tim Weiland goes for balance with this casual-sexy outfit.

image

  • CHAMBRAY & DENIM

With the patchwork of different denim, Philip Lim defined the epitome of grunge look.

Meet the physical criteria for Anorexia

-Twenty years ago the average fashion model weighed 8% less than the average woman. Today, she weighs 23% less.

- Ten years ago plus-size models averaged between size 12 and 18. Today the need for size diversity within the plus-size modeling industry continues to be questioned. The majority of plus-size models on agency boards are between a size 6 and 14, while the customers continue to express their dissatisfaction.

- Most runway models meet the Body Mass Index physical criteria for Anorexia.

- 50% of women wear a size 14 or larger, but most standard clothing outlets cater to sizes 14 or smaller.
