Poor old Meghan Markle (Duchess of Sussex). She came over to Europe in order to attend The Paris Fashion Week. Tragically, her luggage must have been temporarily lost in transit - but being ever resourceful, she cleverly swathed herself in hotel bed linen before attending the first event in her diary. In my humble opinion, the outfit looks kind of cool but unmistakably it's still bed linen. I hope she informed the hotel management beforehand. Apparently, the little black clutch bag contained a sausage roll and a "Mars" bar in case Meghan needed a snack while sitting next to the cat walk.
All international fashion weeks are important as they set the direction for high street fashions in the year ahead. I know that many women who visit this humble Yorkshire blog are very fashion-conscious and keen to keep up with modern trends. I doubt many of you will be engaging with Meghan's wraparound bed sheet idea but the following Maison Alaïa outfit has appeared in Paris this year and I predict that in a few months you will all be wearing it. See how thrilled the model was to be clad in such a trailblazing combo...
Maison Alaïa helpfully explained..."Clothes move like kinetic sculpture, living, animated with pleats and drapes. Hoods conceal and reveal, framing faces like a portrait of a woman, a portrait of beauty.
Body consciousness here means a consciousness of the body, inside its dress, protective and cocooning. It is also a consciousness and reflection of femininity, clothes shaped to mirror the topography of the female form through curves and padding, through layers that act like an armour to shield.
Your body is yours."

We should all remember the wisdom of that final remark when purchasing new clothes... "Your body is yours". I must admit that previously I never thought of my body that way.
I thought I had clicked on another blog when I saw that photo. I can think of a southern blogger who seems to post about her fairly regularly.
ReplyDeleteFashion is subjective, but I thought Meghan looked good.
ReplyDeleteThat one that looks like a toilet, however, did not.
I can just picture myself going to work in that protective outfit. The hood will mean I can‘t wear the headset for video calls and will have to cancel all such appointments. Good!
ReplyDeleteThe clever draping of bed sheets is a look more apt for those days when I‘m working from home.
