Morphine Generation- Mercedes-Benz LA Fashion Week
Last night, sitting along side, style.com, Senior Fashion Editors from major publications and a few D listers who shall not be mentioned, I viewed the Morphine Generation Spring 2007 line for men and women.
Beyond the fact that I was neither impressed or inspired, it occurred to me there really are too many Designers who do nothing, that still sells.
In this one, front row, shot of the runway taken from my seat, you can see three of the men's looks. The one element of the show, that allows Angelenos some sense of fashion savvy were the character shoes for men and women. Either capezio jazz flats or tap shoes sans tap. While designers try to push the limits on the size of the sole, think Lanvin absurdly priced ballet flats that wear down after one use, perhaps the place to turn are to the great dancewear designers, like Freed, Capezio and Repetto. Incidentally, Repetto is already growing in popularity in the fashion capitals of the world and somehow has found its way to little ole Los Angeles too.

Sadly I reside in this city and my only option is to make it work.
Onwards and upwards I say, so gentleman trudge on in search of the perfect garments and stay tuned for further news.

That clothing does look rather "done". Something I might be caught wearing.
I think you should start a squad that confiscates silkscreens, and designers have to present to you their ideas before you let them screen.
That will stop the fly-by-night, "lets screen a fleur de lis on everything and charge $300" designers.
I love you and I want more.
