First of all, my glamorous friend Alex gets all the credit for spotting this gorgeous woman while we were hanging out between shows. Between her incredible ombré pink hair, Alexander Wang Rocco bag, and sparkly sequin collar, she was one of the most stylish people at Pitchfork. I intentionally framed this photo to illustrate her as a fashionable ray of light amidst the grime and dust of the festival grounds at Union Park.
This beautiful young woman at Pitchfork reminded me of supermodel Abbey Lee in Milan. The stark bleach blonde hair, ethereal white clothing, and amulet jewelry create a transcendent sense of mystery. Personally, I hate wearing white because I am terrified of staining it with the tea I drink daily, but I suppose that’s part of the magic. Instantly I carry myself differently in white. The heightened care with which I travel through my daily life creates a zen-like a focus on mindfulness. Fashion is transformative in a variety of ways!
Considering Proenza Schouler Fall 2012’s ode to white and Phoebe Philo’s ongoing love affair with the color(?) at Céline, expect to see lots of angular white clothing in high fashion boutiques and fast fashion mass retailers alike.
Will you be wearing white clothing this fall?
I’m partial to flannel shirts tied around the waist, and it’s not just because that was my uniform in middle school during the 1990s. Ok, so maybe it is. This is one aspect of the 1990s comeback that I actually do enjoy. My Theyskens Theory flannel top is one of my most treasured pieces and you’ll NEVER spot it on eBay (I pinky swear). That was uber-prententious of me to link to a photo of myself in CS Magazine but that’s the only picture of me in the top!
I hunted down three of the coolest flannel shirts the internet has to offer so y’all can get in on the trend. Can you believe it’s already time to stock up your fall wardrobe?
