Well I am sure that everyone is wondering why we have not posted any comments on the various Fashion Weeks. Well we have decided to do it a bit differently this time. The Grand Dame of Fashion Weeks, Paris is underway. I assure you it has been an incredible week.
What we want to do this time is more of a compare and contrast. New York, London, Milan and Paris- - who showed and who didn't. Who hit it and who missed. Who went retro and who went too far forward. Of course we are going to do the "seen it before" list also.
One thing we will try to do is draw similarities between designer's pieces. I mean let's face it they all see each others collections and sometimes there is something coming down the runway that you saw in another collection a previous season. Sometimes you see a piece that is so characteristic of another designer you practically shout the designer's name.
I have heard that the Loft, a vintage clothing establishment in NYC, is a great place for the top designers to become inspired. On Donna Karan's site she generally does a short video and talks about what inspired her collection. As for the other designers, I'm not sure where the inspiration is born. Maybe that is an assignment for us. Maybe we need to do some homework and find out what inspired the lines we critique.
Well anyway, we are going to do a blog about The Fashion Project. We are also going to do a piece on a skirt. So stay tuned.
a la prochaine

About Me
- tangoparisienne
- Debra Ward is the owner of Seulement Français. You will often find Debra wandering Paris, visiting fashion centers. This is a fashionista on a mission to bring more European labels to America. She provides wardrobe consulting services, and is brutal in cleaning out a closet. Debra’s process is sheer genius. It’s not about the amount of money spent on a wardrobe, it’s about making your statement. Debra’s Company has created a way to reacquaint women with the world of fashion. They want women to know that they are not their dress size and that the clothing they choose is a statement to the world. Born in Seattle, Washington, Debra got her start in the world of fashion at the age of 3. Having a dressmaker for a mother is an advantage if you are a girl who loves clothes. Debra’s first job was to hold the pin cushion. It was really a way for her mother to keep an eye on her and pass on her knowledge and skills. Debra’s training progressed and became responsible for pushing the pedal on the sewing machine and see fabric turned into a blouse or pair of pants or better yet a ball gown or wedding dress.
