Fashion Week Primer: The Fug Girls
Posted by Sharon on Fri, Aug 29, 2008 at 1:15 PM
Among the best pieces of advice:
"Short of dressing up as a leprechaun or lighting yourself on fire, you'd have to work super hard to stand out as the best- OR worst-dressed person in the room. When there's a woman in a bedazzled fur turban making the rounds, your skirt is beside the point, so just relax and ogle."Somehow this seems to ring true not just for Fashion Week, but for the New York fashion scene in general--particularly when you're little more than just an anonymous pawn in a someone else's Very Important Game (as in the case of the lawyer lady who wrote in and is terribly stressed about how to blend in and impress). So, hurrah for Forever 21 tops and H&M bags. Because nobody cares about you unless you're Anna or have a stuffed toy created in your likeness. Goddamn, those skinny lacquered pants are skinny. Teddy bears should not appear to have eating disorders. Disturbing, that.
