Fashion is one of the fastest changing elements of our world culture. One moment one color is in, the next, it’s the polar opposite. Although I’m pretty sure that brown will never be in fashion, who can really say? Now I know that I wrote about western style handbag trends last week, but I thought it appropriate to continue that trend (pun intended!) this week with some overall fashion trends you may see this year:
More Fashion in Film – Movie costumes are almost always filled with expensive, glamorous costumes, but this year you will be seeing a lot more of such Hollywood excess. For instance, Disney has a new Muppets movie (pictured at right) coming out around Thanksgiving and the costumes for the innumerable cameos (including fashion icon Lady GaGa) are rumored to be off the charts. You know they have the budget for it – it’s Disney!
Royal Wedding Galore – Not only have royal-obsessed Brits and Americans alike already snatched up every version of Kate Middleton’s gorgeous emerald blue engagement dress, but they are also prepping for the sale of anything that the soon-to-be royal might possibly wear in the future. As we all wait to see the flowers, cake and bridal gown, we’ll just have to speculate what brides will be obsessing about for the remainder of the year.
Low Cost, High Fashion – Have you ever wanted to wear some of Chanel and Fendi designer Karl Lagerfeld’s crafty, haute fashion? Well, if Rodeo Drive is a bit out of your price range, Lagerfeld is bringing a new line of clothing to Macy’s in the fall.
Museum Fashion – The Met, as New Yorkers call it, will be showcasing an exhibit featuring the late Alexander McQueen, who was a major player in the world fashion scene. He created some of the most captivating and stunning looks for actresses like Sarah Jessica Parker and GaGa herself. This is a show not to miss.
