Street
High Fashion
The
trends of autumn-winter catwalk shows of Paris
and Milan cover pages and pages of this month
main fashion magazines. The editorials have
elected "in" moments in different senses, but,
definitely, there is a thing in common in the
season publications: to show where the reader
can get that trendy
clothing for a real reasonable price. Most of
the magazines bring tips on the tip of the tongue
and that was what the Sunday Times fashion insert
showed on Sunday, 09/03.
Eight
pages explore the last season revivals and let
the feeling of everything is still about the
re-readings and more re-readings, with the difference
that, in this season, many decades appear at
once.
The
visits to the 40's, 60's, 70's and 80's were
published in the Style
of Sunday Times with four photographs from catwalks,
a studio production - called High Fashion -
and "stills" (photographs of pieces of clothing
without models dressing them) from tips of the
High Streets. Talking clearly, High Fashion
brings pieces of great names and brands and
the most expensive London addresses, while on
"stills" page, many addresses are on Oxford
Street or High Kensington St. and bring the
same lines of product, already available in
megastores or multibrands.
In the same direction, even the cultural guide
Time
Out published in the last week of August,
interviews with buyers (professionals who shop
and define in what the stores will bet) from
Selfridges,
Top Shop and Marks&Spencer
- stores with prices for all pockets. Information
about the main styles invested are added to
the trends of colours, prints, etc. and intensify
the feeling of " all at the same time now".
Fast
as never, the images of the catwalk, street
and display are all mixed and visibly there
aren't many more differences about who has arrived
first.
Remains now,
wait for the next London
Fashion Week and try to see something
new in the front, further than the London's
high fashion streets.
