Dress Up In You

So, yes, runways have always been showcases for the most extreme and attention-grabbing of clothes, but for AW07, it seems as if this statement dressing, whether in the form of a brightly patterned Balenciaga dress or a sharply cut Dior suit, is emerging as a real trend. Outfits, even singular garments, that you really need moxy to wear properly are extremely prevalent this season. These clothes aren't the easy, breezy sack dresses and white blouses of former seasons. It takes a certain person to pull off these new pieces, be they harem pants, mixed textures, or vivid gowns. Maybe it's the designers' way of telling the public that fashion is still relevant, yet special, and deserves attention that's not in the form of weight debates or knockoff lawsuits. Or it could be a manifestation of the sickness people feel over apathy and lack of effort, whether it's in an H&M dress or a low voter turnout. Whatever the reason, it's pretty.
