Frenzy Of American Fashion Politics

Introduction: in the United States, fashion was closely linked to politics. In the 08 year, Obama was elected as the top priority in the United States. The fashion industry followed this hot spot closely. Clothing also favours the political side.

Fashion week is the best choice when New York wants to have a lively political party but no Party Congress can see it.

　　 美國時裝設計師：政治狂熱分子

Compared with designers in other countries, American designers have been more clearly connected with the government.

Perhaps this is due to their lack of tradition. Most American brands are still in the hands of the first designer of the same name, so there is no need to work hard to uphold family history or maintain internal relations like the brands of France and Italy.

Or is it because of the optimistic attitude that has become a national tradition? This attitude encourages designers to work in the system rather than the British political rebel designer Vivian Westwood (Vivienne Westwood) and Catherine Hamnett (Katherine Hamnett).

Whatever the reason, the presidential election battle is the primary theme of the 2009 spring and summer fashion show.

Sometimes the theme is very obvious. For example, Mike Karl (Michael Kors) salutes the United States with red and white dots and stripes, from short pants to Doris Dale long dress (Doris Day, American singer and film actress), who became a famous actress in Hollywood in 1950s with excellent performances in music and sexy drama. It also became a historical symbol of American pop music. She was the most famous American pop singer after World War II. Sometimes the theme was more implicit. For example, Derek Lam's luxurious single product lazy leisure appearance seemed to have similar connotation with the seventh street sports.

Two times the theme failed.

The first is the interesting design of Calvin Klein's Francesco Francisco (Francisco Costa): presenting a flat shell on the cloth - symbolizing the current credit crunch, with the promise of "less is more" - creating a series of striking but aesthetically questionable thinking, similar to the origami coat of Noguchi Yong (Japanese American sculptor) style, which is bulging on the model like a futuristic lampshade.

The second failure is that Donna Karen (Donna Karen) gave up the perfect suit jacket with the rostrum, and designed a series of short skirts with pendants, slits or capes, but in other respects, these short skirts are amazing and very suitable for the beach of Ibiza Island, but it seems that they are not very compatible with the current tightening of sleeves.

However, on one occasion, all the works made up an outstanding series, which came from the rich imagination of Mark Jacobs (Marc Jacobs).

Jacobs has a supernatural ability to capture a moment in the social / cultural period and show it through clothing - this is the essence of his extraordinary talent.

And he realized that what is important now is how the past has been able to concentrate on leading the country to the future (which is, of course, the basic proposition of this presidential election), so he has created the most important series in this fashion week: straw hat, plaid shirt, 1940s elegant coat, double breasted jacket, skewed tailor silk or gold and silver yarn Gibson girl (Gibson Girl, 1890~1910, an illustration of women's image in the American artist Charles Dana Gibson).

Together, these styles form a strong proposition that beauty can emerge from all differences, whether it is fabric or fact.

But all this is not entirely out of selfless interest.

In addition to the intellectual property rights issue that legislators are constantly debated (which will have a wide impact on designer's business and decide whether their designs can be plagiarized), another reason is that if it can become the brand of the new first lady to provide clothing, it will be of great benefit to sales.

　　政客青睞的品牌

In the past, Oscar De La Renta has always been the Royal brand of Bush and Clinton's family of the White House. It's not hard to understand why: this season, Oscar's gracefully loose silk trousers, waist tunic and smart printed front skirt are both chic and meaningful. Among them, a bell shaped curve with a short sleeved flower patterned Satin coat has great temperament.

Although he was an open supporter of Hilary (Hilary), he was also installed for Cindy McCain (Cindy McCain). The first day of the Republican convention, Cindy wore the yellow shirt skirt, which was designed by him and she wore dellent tower during the conference.

It is easy to imagine that the two possible first ladies will consider choosing this one at the inauguration dance.

In contrast, the brand Thakoon and Narciso Narciso (Michelle Rodriguez), favored by Michel Obama (Obama), seem to want to ignore relations with national affairs.

Thakoon overturned the beautiful flower patterns he often used to replace them with a waist coat and straight long coat.

However, Rodrigues has abandoned the narrow leg trousers and bandages wrapped with precise cutting, Zen and punk style, playing hide and seek with the body.

The ultimate effect is an unusual sense of elegance, but you will never wear it to the Elysee Palace dinner.

However, Rodrigues's black and white horizontal striped silk straight dress is the perfect choice for cocktail parties.

As a matter of fact, one of the most popular ways to kill time in the gap between fashion week's fashion shows is to play the game of selecting White House costumes.

For example, Whoever enters the president's office, Peter's Peter Som's sky blue satin shirt skirt looks like a wise choice for the first lady, Caroline Herrera (Carolina H).
