Loosening Up

One of my favourite shots ever is the one

above . I admire people who take fashion

risks and wear whatever suits themselves.

I also love the way guys are playing with

proportion and volume in all these shots.

A friend of mine said that she has noticed

how volume moves down the body as

fashions change.

With the emphasis seen on shoulders lately,

tapering down to narrow legged jeans and pants,

is a shift on the horizon.

Will the next voluminous zone be down around

the ankles with floaty skirts, flared pants and

caftans.

We have already seen this with women's fashion,

but are boys going to follow this trend next.

I am not suggesting that all men are going

to embrace the skirt, but baggy pants;

I think so.

Lace, Lace, Lace

Lace is going to be huge for a while. Why..

1 Alexander McQueen would have wanted it that way.

2 It is cheeky and exposes while covering up simultaneously which suits the mood of now for some reason.

3 It is very 80s ( Prince wants his catsuit back).

4 It goes with leather and Lycra..also huge.

5 It has that Spanish flamenco thing about it that is always going to be on fire.

6 It has that Jane Austin thing about it that is always going to be like a fresh English breeze.

7 Lady Ga Ga says so.

8 Madonna says.."I said so first. "

9 Beyonce says.."yeah , but I say so last."

10 The girls in these photographs look great in it so you will too.
