New execs want to build their own teams, no matter how talented/recognized the old team is (at least talented image-wise; nobody has staunched losses in years). Happens in all businesses.

Dull, dull, dull...pointless, badly made, etc etc.<br /><br />And they tart it all up with idiotic hair and make-up and expect people not to notice that it's basically two squares of acid coloured silk stitched together with a belt around it. And this constitutes designer or couture fashion?

I think it ...Absolutely brilliant, Kate, well said.<br />I think it was in a book called Fashion Babylon where it claimed that whenever a designer's hard pressed for a new collection they dig out a 20 year-old fashion mag and rehash the styles of the day. Must be true as I've read a blog this evening where a twenty-something is exhaulting the longer length, sheer, pointy collar blouse as cutting edge. <br />Have to side with Mrs TNMA, VB will never find favour with me (other than in sharing the same initials) miserable trout.xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185133934790891461.post-22940245076858107272011-01-13T19:10:12.595+00:002011-01-13T19:10:12.595+00:00Dear Kate, this made me laugh!

If pronouncements on fashion alienate those who pay for it, the whole thing becomes a ridiculous academic exercise to satisfy the self important.<br /><br />I like your comments/advice. They are level headed and cut through the nonesense.<br /><br />Dare I say you are "visionary" or have I just undermined my whole argument?

We're encouraged to debate 'new' trends which are almost identical to the designs sold last year and every year (stripy bretonstyle t-shirts, black blazers, jeans... no these are NOT new/groundbreaking). If you point out they are perennials, the company gets all excited about them being an homage to the 80s, 90s, 00s (!!) - missing the point that they are just perennial never-out-of-fashion items. <br /><br />I'm convinced it's simply the media covering its back - if this year's 'how to wear nautical' is utterly different from last years, they can re-hash last year's article and sell it on anew. Or am I very cynical?Perdita Tinselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01741015473009270250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185133934790891461.post-5259986465258970502011-01-13T08:20:33.276+00:002011-01-13T08:20:33.276+00:00Hey great post.
