I like most the 1st,4th and last.&nbsp;<br />Really amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-week-vs-understated-chic#post-866500 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 02:29:39 +0000 Jaime 866500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I think of the fancy dressers as just that - people dressed up for a costume party of sorts. On the other hand, for me the big leopard coat in the last picture would be a bit too much to actually wear, although it looks great on her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-week-vs-understated-chic#post-866388 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 00:42:30 +0000 Caro in Oz 866388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember reading years ago that classic dressers will always think flamboyant dressing is OTT &amp; will feel ridiculous in those clothes &amp; flamboyant dressers will feel bored in classic clothes (paraphrasing here). The interesting part for me was I physically took a breath when I saw the last photos, which was unexpected to say the least.</p> <p>bj1111 - I agree being open to many people (&amp; therefore their different styles) would seem to be a major requirement for any "critic/arbiter/curator of style and fashion.' </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-week-vs-understated-chic#post-866379 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 00:33:27 +0000 bj1111 866379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the article uses flamboyance of street stylers/ bloggers cum fashion critics as a set up for a less than original argument pitting "fashion editors" with the "bloggers/style critics).</p> <p>while i agree that "gifts" of thousands of dollars of merch reeks of conflict of interest, not sure being restrained in one's dress makes for a better critic/arbiter/curator of style and fashion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-week-vs-understated-chic#post-866370 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 00:22:46 +0000 Kalli 866370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read this article and fashion seems to be living art, some like it more flamboyant, some like it more subdued and elegant. It's never really wrong... Just a matter of personal preference and taste. For us that financially don't want to support the former, I am glad for the french understated taste that is still considered an art form. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-week-vs-understated-chic#post-866345 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 23:19:02 +0000 Thistle 866345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fashion is such a unique art form. Both art and practical. I have to say I find much of the street fashion ridiculous. Ten come the lovely French ladies showing us what street fashion can be! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-week-vs-understated-chic#post-866338 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 22:56:44 +0000 Beth Ann 866338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anyone notice in the last photo that Mouzat was wearing high waisted, pleated khaki trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-week-vs-understated-chic#post-866336 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 22:49:34 +0000 Deborah 866336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting Caro. Skimmed but will read in full later (Im at work) but certainly the last photo was a breath of fresh air. Will pop back later as I suspect I have opinion on this </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-week-vs-understated-chic#post-866327 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 22:35:29 +0000 Suz 866327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting piece, Caro!
