The Spicy Stiletto

You’ve probably been hearing about it all week– fashion being described as a circus, or in some articles the two being used interchangeably.  Sure, we needed someone to bring this conversation [of the concrete catwalk and all the blatant "peacocking"] to the forefront, so thank you Suzy Menkes for starting that conversation, but the praise is and should be directed toward Leandra for carrying on the conversation with her unbiased and relevant opinions about Menkes’ perception of bloggers, and shining a brighter light on the ever-evolving fashion industry.   But, this is a subject that will probably need further dissection in its very own post because my intent was to discuss the circus on the catwalk at the Piers, Milk Studios, Lincoln Center, High Beam, and so on.  I know, fashion month is well on its way already, and the end of LFW yesterday and the commencement of Milan today are an indication that I’m a bit behind on my blog posts, but the truth is I’m pretty back-blogged and you’ll see more post slowly trickle in.

After all, fashion month is a circus.  Many performers, live audience, and so many acts to follow.  I always find the inundation of fashion week posts during the actual proceedings to be overwhelming any way.  So I took the liberty of narrowing down some of my favorite trends on the runway into, yes, another collage of trends to try now.  Easily some classics that can last you into spring and (recycled) into the following season.  From bold silhouettes to a varying color spectrum… here goes.
