Fashion Week Recap

by Kim

 I have been cogitating on the photos I saved from New York Fashion Week.  Obviously, I am not a fashionista, and don't understand a lot about it. I probably only saw a fraction of what was shown in NY during the week. But, some things did jump out of the pile of photos I collected from many different fashion shows from the week.


Jewelry is a form of fashion, so it is fun to see what is happening out there. And maybe we will find some inspiration to use in jewelry making.


 See through clothes! In many forms.


 Floaty fabrics.


 Long and short.


 Two things in one here.....lots of color, which surprised me since when I think of the NY fashionistas, I think black. And there is a really bold use of stripes and colorblocking going on.





This crosses over to the trending I did recently for jewelry. Texture: feathers and fringe. It is also kind of floaty, so there is a crossover there too.


So, does anything inspire you that you can use in making jewelry? Or making anything else?

Learning and Remembering

by Kim

 NYC is in the news this week for a couple things. Mostly, it is the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. For my generation, there are two shocking happenings for which we ask each other, "where were you when.....?" We ask that about the day JFK was shot and now we ask that about the 9/11 attacks.


I was in mid air, flying from Detroit to Atlanta. When we landed in Atlanta, the pilot came on the PA and told us to go find a monitor. The state we found our whole country in when we deplaned was shocking, especially considering it had only been 2 hours since we got into the plane. It does not take long and it does not take many people to change the world. If only we all used this power for good.


The other thing happening in NYC this week is Fashion Week. I do not have understanding of why Fashion Week is so important. Could someone enlighten me please? I have been following some of the multitudinous reports from Fashion Week in the last couple days. Fashion seems like another word for "ridiculous garments that are in no way wearable or garments that nobody in her right mind would wear." Really. Do these garments get produced and worn?


But, I follow a little bit because trends in fashion do play into other kinds of trends that I follow. In some kind of really indirect way.


So, when I saw this bracelet, I got a good laugh. Some high fashion designer went to Michaels and bought a couple packages of wiggle eyes and embedded them in resin. Come on, it's funny.
