fashion week fall/winter 08 part 3: seasonless-ness

Even though today is the last day of NY fashion week (then on to paris, milan, london, and then and then and then) things are perking up! i do not recant my cynicism of earlier ny fash week posts because that shit is not doin it for me. do i deny its existence? no. will i purchase it/partake in its trend that will soon spawn? no. do i think it is worthless? no. i just dont like it and that is that. however my tastes skew a little off from general american in design xyz. ok, enough, on to the goods. shipley & halmos (of trovata) showed men's and women's looks yesterday and they are really wearable. the types of this i wish i had right now, very season-less, not too sweet not too salty just right. zero maria cornejo also had some great, clean, effective looks. monochromatic for the most part but the details and styling set them apart from the usual all-black fashion uniform. lastly, y&kei showed some very desirable ali mcgraw-on-acid looks. and i am about it. fall/winter 08 wardrobe title: 70s collegiate-beat-rockabilly-on-both-quaaludes-and-pcp. i can get into that.
