RUNWAY REPORT

This seasons Spring 2009 has seen some knock-out runway collections. Here are a few of my favourites!!!!

Nicole Miller

Inspiration: Menswear and mosaic
The mosaic catwalk was the perfect backdrop for the variety of colorful prints worn on the runway. Menswear-inspired relaxed jackets and slouchy trousers added a fine balance to the bold collection. A sure-fire standout was the beaded cocktail dress (at left) which led the finale, and seemed to be a favorite of actress Melissa George, who smiled widely while sitting in the front row.

BOOK OF THE MONTH

I am a major Vogue fanatic so its natural that the book of the month for me would be, "In Vogue: The Illustrated History of the Worlds Most Famous Fashion Magazine". If you heart Vogue and photography go grab one quickly. Here is a review on Amazon.com about the book- "What attracts you to Vogue? Chances are that element is represented someplace within the pages of In Vogue.To me, the photographs are the main appeal of Vogue. Since its founding on December 17, 1892, Vogue has attempted to capture current and future fashion through its images. The magazine has been blessed by talented work done by most of the world's best fashion photographers since then who brought us the most interesting society women, celebrities, cultural icons, and, of course, fashion models. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the book contained at least a few works by each of the greatest photographers to appear in Vogue. Most of the images were known to me, but a number were new. My main disappointment was that the photographers I like the most didn't have more photographs in the book. But the book is very bulky and heavy as it is. To my interest in the photographs came many essays about why the photographers were selected and what the editors asked them to accomplish. The interaction of the art directors and the photographers was particularly noteworthy in regard to covers. I have also spent many years as a management consultant in the magazine industry. I was pleasantly surprised to find that there's a pretty complete overview of the management thinking and decisions that led to Vogue becoming so successful.But the most interesting surprise came in the extended views into the editorial philosophies and working styles of the magazine's editors. Creating a fashion magazine is very demanding, and Vogue has been fortunate in its editors both for their energy and their vision for the reader.If neither business nor editing interest you, you'll still find lots of marvelous images to help you trace the development of fashion and style in the United States over the last 100 plus years.
