Pre Collections are the time of year
that a designer gets to give the world a insight into what they are planning on
creating for the full collection this season saw Raf Simons create 66 looks for
his pre season show, The collection was show on a yellow boat. (I wonder if the
is in reference to the yellow submarine). This collection featured many coats,
so maybe this is the season for a wardrobe of coats. We will have to wait to
see what other designers are thinking to decide if it’s a season about the
coat.

Pradaspere
Prada the Italian fashion house,
opening the recent exhibition Pradasphere in Harrods department store in
London. The fashion house was opened in 1913 by Mario Prada the house to this
day is still ran by the Prada family and the one at the top is Muiccia Prada
who is head designer. This exhibition show piece from the Prada family over
recent years and one thing that can be said about the clothes that where on
display is that they are timeless, this piece could be in your wardrobe for 20
years or more and still be relevant today. The show was split into three main
areas handbags and show, Clothing and the history of the brand. Clothing was
then split into six other categories all in their own cases these Animality,
Exceivty, Fuguration, Modernity, femasculinity and Continetalism.

Fashion is a very spending thing.
Fashion is a very spending thing.
Fashion when is expectable
to buy and when does it become too much. Fashion is something that is ever
changing with there being spring summer shows, autumn winter shows every year
but this isn’t the even the start to it with pre season collection twice a year,
are the likes of Chanel creating up to nine shows a year. People make it their
mission in life to collect as much of a designers works as the possibly can.
Surly there has to be limits to this is it really a good idea to have whole
collection from a catwalk sat in your wardrobe. Reality is do we as the
consumer really wear these clothes that often. I myself don’t have a huge
collection but the reality I find is that you don’t wear the clothes that much
or is that the whole point to these clothes that it is the fact that you are
able to afford them but you don’t need to wear the that often to show that you
have money.
Surly having the ability to
buy items of designer clothing is something to be enjoyed. I myself enjoy and
love ever piece that I own, and ever piece i have I look to see where it has
been made and what the care instruction are. Sadly I have meet people that
don’t seem to have the same level of respect that I have for the things I have.
I once watch a fashion documentary where one of the ladies in the piece sad
that it is one thing to own the clothes but its more then knowing the clothes
its understanding them know how they are made and what they are made off. One
question I find interesting to ask people that have fur coats or handbag made
from exotic skins is what animal is it made with and watch there response when
they say oh I don’t know I just liked it so I brought it, which for me I
struggle to understand as to just say oh I liked it instead of being educated
about the item that they own. If you are going to own a piece of fur or exotic
skin at least be able to have the knowledge of what it is made off.
Fashion is something that
changes so often that to keep up must mean that you don’t wear these clothes
that much, with one show having and where from 20 looks a show to 70 looks. So
for some of the larger fashion house that have 70 looks a show and up to nine
shows and year that could total up to 630 looks a year that is a lot of
outfits, more days then are in the year so is it really and good idea to try to
keep up with what the fashion houses are doing or would it be better to go in
to a store that is a particular favourite and buy one or two outfits a season
and really treasure those instead of having 40-50 piece that don’t get worn
very often and that you forget what you have. Although having a collection is
nice.
I believe that fashion is
something that you should have fun with and some of the most fashionable people
that I have meet in life are the ones that can buy some of the most expensive
piece in the world and wear them with some of the cheapest piece ever so mixing
and Alexander McQueen skirt with a Primark t shirt, and jewels from Cartier to
Accessorises. But just make sure that these piece make an outing now and again.
Remember that is for buy more key piece instead of the high fashion items in a
few seasons time you can dig them back out as vintage pieces or wait until that
tread reappears and wear it then, and fingers crossed not that many people will
have it.
Have Fun with Fashion.
