How about a dress made out of tinfoil with matching antennas? Shoes made out of stainless steel? One piece suits that change color like a hologram? Advertising thatcomes and goes on your back? Coats that dazzle us with thier colors and cuts? If you are like me and millions of bored Americans longing for an emerging style for the new year than anything should go. Lets get reckless, crazy and wild and EXPERIMENT! I am tired of boring safe clothes. Crocks, jeans, T-shirts and boring hair styles to match. When did fashion become so safe? I am tired and I mean T-I-R-E-D of the hoodies, jeans and t-shirts that envelope us with SAFE apparel options. I want glam! I want bam! I want Oh my &^%ing God I can’t believe she’s wearing that choices! Where are all the designers? Hanging out in their grandmother’s closets searching for a rehash of a previous decade’s style? Hire me to design and I will do better than most I guarantee it! I was the girl in the 80′s who wore it all and loved it! And I was not a wealthy kid! But I rocked what I could afford! It was fun!
Women want something new now and something glamorous! Give it to us! With this horrible economy and depressing state of affairs we need fashion to help us endure! a little clothing fun never hurt! We have to live in harsh reality everyday and focus on life and death issues and mortgages and foreclosures and health insurance and on and on and we deserve a little fun!
Where are all of the new styles designers? Being a product of the 80′s high school scene that was the last time I remember clothing and hair styles being fun! Impulsive and creative! I want to be blown away by the new styles and fashions not underwhelmed.
I want color, cut and brand new style to jump out at me so that I want to rush to the store and by it. I want to be excited again by my clothes and not feel like a stamper imprint that is on beige paper. Everyone looks so normal! So boring and so safe! Who cares about safe? This is the time for designers to make a statement and start a trend or a fad! Whether you show it at K-mart or Macy’s we need something new!
I am begging hair designers also to pull something new out and for God’s sake get rid of boring flat ironed hair and be daring! The Rachel is tired and over as is over heated hair stuck to the side of a woman’s head without shape, bounce or form. It is time to be bold and brazen and to wow us poor slobs with something so new like the mowhawk or the Rachel did that we run out and get it.
Clothing designers…design something so remarkable that we will run out and buy it like we did parachute pants or the miniskirt and if nothing else, to remember when fashion was fun and daring! Please stop rehashing former styles and trends too with the God awful 60′s prints that most American women over size 7 look hideous in, and the regurgitated 70′s bell bottoms the industry calls flares! Bleck! What America needs is a fashion makeover with someone like Ramsey from Hell’s Kitchen to supervise it to prevent boring repetitions! So come on fashion designers and hair designers..get your head out of your closets and DESIGN something respectable for the new era…make us proud enough to want to wear it! Call Ramsey if you have to but get it done!
