I’m No Fashion Expert
The Autumn-Winter Lisbon Fashion Show ended today in Lisbon Spain and Portugese designer Dino Alves showed some... well, some provocative designs.
Did I stumble upon the showing of a collection of "voodoo doll apparel" or is this a collision of fashion, the culture of death and post-modern zeitgeist? I suppose I'm just not very sophisticated.
Have I seen anything I like this season, you ask? Well, I did see some nice prom dresses in the Alloy catalogue and there was a very nice formal white gown, with black flowers embroidered(?) accross the midriff and down the leg. But, I like this one the best. It's bright and fun!
Men's clothing is taking a positive, if more conventional, direction. I noticed Billy Joe Armstrong wearing a nice outfit with a black button-down shirt and red tie: this was complimented with narrow suspenders and silver hardware. The band, Interpol, caught my eye on the cover of SPIN magazine and I really like their look. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the photo on the web yet, so this older one will have to do...
Fashion is so fickle. It's like Maine weather: If you don't like it, just check back in an hour and it will be different.

Wow – dare I say this? – that dress is cute. I like that direction.
And y’know, Bo, I hate to say this but I think you’re just a bit behind the times when it comes to the Dino Alves designs. Why, I go to work dressed like that practically every day.

sorry Bo, but it is you. You’re just not very sophisticated. I, too, dress like that for work. Makes for interesting conversation

I beg to differ… I simply prefer a more understated appearance. My personal assistant, Denise, purchases my attire. She favors the look of two prominent American designers, Ross and Marshall.
