L'Wren Scott: Threads of Change?

I know, yet another post today. But it's one of those irratic late-night posts that I have to publish or I won't sleep a wink. This one's about fashion.

I was reading an article in The Atlantic about fashion, broad subject matter, I know. I didn't get to finish the three and a half page article because a photo from the February Fashion-Week runway caught my eye. It was a photograph of a kelly green and rust colored cocktail dress, which was great (it also came with a matching trench coat which I didn't care for).

It was designed by L'Wren Scott. I loved the design so much that I decided to google her. I found out that she is a former model, and very tall. I looked at her full spring RTW* collection for 2009. I found that although her pieces were extremely fashionable, they were also very relatable and not out of reach of painful to look at.

In a completely unrelated story, I was looking for good Oscar Wilde quotes today online and happened to stumble on this one on fashion:

"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months."

Although in most cases with high fashion I unfortunately agree with Mr. Wilde, I couldn't help but beg to differ in L'Wren Scott's case. Her pieces are clean, elegant, retro and easy on the eyes.

Click here for a full look at her spring collection and tell me your thoughts. Thanks for reading this painfully short entry. Hope you're all well.
