Wow...I must really be getting old....what did I just see?!! (This coming from the girl who had a fight with her dad when she was leaving the house wearing a purple velour hot pants outfit, all one piece, stretchy top, long vest, with knee high white boots). It was 1970 after all!!

Well stated Cheshirepat. I work in a university department that includes fashion design and merchandising. I have seen many efforts of students trying to capture the concept of mood, art, and re-creating something new with basic garment construction. Always interesting. Often just weird, but consistently a fascinating visual experience. Seldom were the garments created for "street" wear as presented. But the concepts illustrated in the garments could be modified to make a street garment pop just a little and stand out from the ordinary. A number of our graduates now are working in New York or Chicago and have their own lines. This is a big deal for a young designer and acknowledgement of their creativity. Most grads are working within the "normal" fashion industry. That is were the jobs are and where the money is. It is the few and the highly gifted that create the fashions we saw that started this conversation.
And yes, I found more than one garment that I would wear in the show we saw. I also saw many that need to stay on the runway and as art pieces. Tee-Hee-Hee. Loved the eyes!

Glad you thought so, Chasing Hawk! What's funny is Alexander McQueen's work (when he was alive and designing it himself) had often been controversial and frequently made a stir. I thought this collection was neat in that it was partially inspired by a 19th century tailor's quilt. I think it's a lovely collection!
Thanks for the comment WMUTeach...how lucky to be able to watch young talent come through your doors!
Runway fashion is an art, not every flavor pleases everyone for sure, sandy I. I enjoy sharing some of the catalogs of shows with my own mom, and listening to her reactions as well. She sometimes surprises me with what she loves!
