Roberto Capucci vintage fashion. When did 1984 and 1998 become vintage? Some may say the same about 1957.

| Prada A/W 2025 Very much a 1960s walk of shame feel, but without the shame. I love it. |

| Colorful. Slight '80s vibe with the miniskirt and leggings |

| Stark look with that surprising yellow. |

McQueen Monday #11
This is from McQueen's Fall/Winter 2007 collection. I love the back. It has bit of maybe late Renaissance or maybe early Victorian. I am not really certain but I do wish I knew what the front looks like. I am still searching for a photo of the front of this dress.

McQueen Monday #10
Alright I am going to get right to it and dive in with the first picture. It is in my favorite color...red. I like the dress and the waist cincher/corset that is with it but something needs to be done with the model's hair. I mean her hair is just BLAH. A store mannequin would have better hair that is if it had a head. I know she is young and has no say so on how she should look but whoever idea it was for this hair style needs to be slapped.
From Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2015
Second outfit and let me see if I can be a little less critical. No I can't be less critical. I call her Mrs. Edward Scissorhands.
Lovely dress, if you don't mind the pink pampas grass at the bottom and I don't, for Spring 2016. No qualms about the model.

Fashion Friday #31 - Ralph Lauren Fall 2015 Pret -a-Porter
It was not until I looked through my post did I realize that it has been almost a year since my last Fashion Friday post. All I ask for is your forgiveness. I know there is being late with something but this is ridiculous.
Anyway, I can't believe that this coming fall fashion collections are coming out when we are not even done with this winter, but they are. Ralph Lauren has shown his Autumn 2015 Pret-a-Porte collection and I, like real fashion critics, love the clothes. Then Ralph Lauren does not go over the top on the artistry of his clothes. In other words, his clothes don't go straight from the runway to a museum to be looked at Ralph Lauren's pieces go from the runway to the street or some gala. Granted most of us can not afford the straight to the street pieces let alone the gala pieces but they all look wearable.
Some of his pieces look to have fur but there was a statement at the bottom of his New York show notes that read:
"Ralph Lauren has a long commitment to not use fur products in our apparel and accessories.
Nice to know that is not fur. I used not to have a problem with fur wearing but I have out grown my fascination with fur and feel that it is okay to wear if it is part of your way of life i.e. Eskimos, Aleuts,etc. and native inhabitants of other countries close to the Arctic circle or in mountainous regions where it gets bitterly cold (no I do not mean the Northeast and Northern Central parts of the U.S. right now).
Alright off of my soapbox now. So...without further ado I give to you some of Ralph Lauren Fall 2015 collection.
Silk crochet and fringe
A friend said, roughly, when she saw this photo, she never would have thought of putting a Fedora borrowed from menswear with a lace dress, but on her it works. I love this white floral lace dress with the Fedora too.
To me this next outfit is 'Annie Hall' or Dianne Keaton taken up a notch.
This one kind of is 'Annie Hall'-ish as well.
Minus the shearling hat THIS is 'Annie Hall'
Socks with sandals? Really Mr. Lauren? Sorry love no dice from me on the footwear but the rest is okay.
If your flat on top great look but if your not...Nah...not a good look.
Almost looks like something is molting behind the model but it's just the jacket that was shown before this outfit.
The molting jacket/coat
Feel of the 1970's. I would so wear this if I didn't think I would either wash out or match it but then the white/off-white would be worse on me.
The hat with this dress escapes me

MCQueen Monday #9 - Spring 2015 Ad Campaign Unveiled
Released in Fashion Times today is the Alexander McQueen spring campaign 2015. The images will run in the American and British Vogue, W and Interview magazines. They are also set to be on Alexander McQueen's website and social media pages.
The campaign photo shoot was shot by British photographer David Sims, on location in a London studio, and with German model Karolyn Wolter wearing Sarah Burton's kimono-inspired wardrobe.
All photos are credited to David Sims and Alexander McQueen.
There will probably be more images in the magazines and the company's website but for now we only have these two.
I for one am not impressed with what I see but then again we are not talking about normal clothes. I am fine with Karolyn's androgynous look a la David Bowie, even with the bell bottoms. But for me there is something missing and I can not put a finger on it. There is no life to it. It's dead. Maybe that is the look they were going for but it has left me flat. Oh well, to each their own.
