DECEMBER MEANS VICTORIA'S SECRET
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, that is! The world's most beautiful models stomping it out on the runway in extremely animated and pricey lingerie, who wouldn't want that? The show itself doesn't air until the first of December. If this event is unfamiliar to you, Victoria's Secret airs a Christmas-themed fashion show of lingerie radically enhanced with wings, glitter and crystals. A tid-bit that might trigger your memory was the Victoria's Secret Fashion show that aired I believe two or three years ago, which marked the retirement of runway diva Tyra Banks.
Honest question though: does appreciating this show or finding it entertaining push my feminist beliefs back 10 years? Is there harm in looking forward to a show of this kind? Being a woman, does this relate or retract from how males are seen when appreciative of this event? Please, let me know because I am clearly green.
In other news, London fashion staple Burberry now designs houses!... Or not. Burberry has been attempting to branch out from their signature beige cross-plaid pattern (known as the Haymarket check) for sometime, especially since the hire of Rose Marie Bravo from the United States. Bravo approached her position as a rebranding of the line, attempting to sway public view of the brand from just simply raincoats and the signature pattern to a high fashion line. Bravo recruited young starlet and fashionista, Emma Watson, and controversial international model, Kate Moss, as faces for the brand.
To their disappointment, Norwegian artist Jens Werner has decided to paint the entire exterior of his home with the famous Burberry Tartan design. The disappointment mainly originates from the constant re-issuing of the Burberry design from shoes, to backpacks, to even baseball caps! Burberry became famous for its raincoats after the label was commissioned by the War Office to adapt its officer's coat to suit the conditions of contemporary warfare. After the war, the garment became popular with civilians, eventually expanding into an international fashion brand.Labels: Burberry, Fashion Show, Tyra Banks, Victoria's Secret
