   [...] acabou e confirmou o que já era fato (Regina Guerreiro E Ricardo Oliveros falam disso há tempos): não tem mesmo mais tendências. Os desfiles que vimos agora podem mostrar micro e mini tendências, mas não dá pra identificar [...]

   I love to study fashion and the changes, cycles of consumption,I don´t think the fashion died, now we are living more 1moment that the fashion seeks in the new popular culture values, at the same time that we live many movements of art from the street that gives an news influence of the graphic language, we are exactly, again living a chaos, but always the fashion, in few years will be clear again… if this existentialist phase finish, if the wolrd stop to be afraid with so much threats to his life and to the planet… it´s similar the 20, 60, 70 over all

   What a compelling article. Not the death of fashion but perhaps the death of direction.

   In politics I was thinking about the uproar that the Labour party caused when they announced policies previously espoused by the opposition. They stole their policies the press said. Well they were not really policies they were just ideas. It was not that one party moved political ground or usurped an ideology they just took a good idea and made it happen.

   What’s the connection with fashion? If you view ideology as silhouette and ideas as micro trends then perhaps there is a wider connection to a sociological overarching trend of being safe in the middle ground.

   Personally I’ve found this years set of shows creatively stimulating. Marc Jacobs in NY challenged us to think harder, Last seasons Prada show is beginning to make sense to me and this seasons Balenciaga was an overwhelming registration of ownership of a strong silhouette. London’s designers seem to be getting it together to such an extent that I would not be surprised to see another couple of Williamsons and McQueens emerge over the next couple of years.
