2- And while we're on marketing...Isn't the new MAC Viva Glam campaign (featuring new spokeswomen Eve, Debbie Harry, Dita Von Teese, and Lisa Marie Pressley)HOT??!!
3- With the power that she wields in her column, she is DEFINITELY our version of The International Herald Tribune's Suzy Menkes. Sooo... why is fierce Washington Post fashion journalist Robin Givhan- whose pen,wit and fashion knowledge are as sharp as any couture gown, who pontificates on the taste level of every designer and whose succinct fashion witticisms garnered her a much-deserved PULITZER PRIZE for cultural criticism in print- such a sartorial MESS?
4- Even though she staged THE fashion comeback story of the year, wasn't Kate Moss conspicuously absent from New York's runway shows (though not absent from the after-parties) this season? Doesn't 15-year-old-sensation Tanya Dziahileva appear to be channeling Kate?
5- With Donna Karan, Badgely Mishka, and Diane Von Furstenberg's runways full of them, is the miniskirt (trapeze, empire, caftan) really back?
6- Wasn't it a brilliant idea for Michael McCollom and Michael Henry Adams to curate the Black Style Now exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York? Wasn't it also brilliant to have the opening during fashion week, when there would be more black fashionistas attending that one gala than at all of the shows at Bryant Park combined? And wasn't it overdue?
7- Didn't some American designers (Donna Karan, Vera Wang, Zac Posen, etc.) this season create pieces this season that were more in keeping with the EUROPEAN sensibility of, say Balenciaga, Rochas, Gaultier? What does that mean for the future of American fashion?
8- Marc Jacobs and Narciso Rodriguez aside, didn't Zac Posen's collection this season SOLIDIFY him as the KING of New York fashion?
