Fall Fashion, Translated
As glamorous as the fashion runways can be, they aren’t always practical. Looks that saunter down the catwalk often inspire furrowed brows from industry outsiders. It can be difficult for the average Jane to imagine how certain garments can possibly translate in a context other than New York Fashion Week.
But the runways are just the starting point. It’s up to you to do what you please with the trends and make them your own. Believe it or not, this can be achieved with every trend, regardless of how unrealistic a fashion show production makes it seem.
Here’s a glimpse of what the fall ’08 trends look like, straight from the runways and with a real world translation.
