Ive noticed over the last 6 months with an ever present recession, the catwalks are filled with amazing new clothes of all different origins from sheer fabrics, jewel encrushed dresses and accessories,bold jewellery, sport influenced,Glamour & romance etc..... but it seems ever so mis-matched - MY FAVOURITE!!! yet there seems to be no certain trends as such
How lovely that we are seeing the flea markets, swap shops, vintage shops springing up all over Dublin and Ireland alike! (Such as the Sheeben Chic on geogres street every saturday at 12-4-just one of many)

These are the designs for the new year 2009, its pretty obvious when you look down at a few of these that there is a variety of origins for this year

We are moving into a new exciting fashion period I think, that im sure will be documented and branded in years too come. We've never had so much too choose from 50's, 60's, 70's right through to the current day and never has there been so little inhabitions, about anything really - But does this mean we have been over sensitised??Be there, done that attitude???hhhhhmmmm Doubt it - the love of great fashion will always be there!

That was just alittle bit of the mix matched fashion about the catwalks
Although I was very much looking forward to and a little disappointed with Luella - it was really sad, maybe because her idea of geek chic is everywhere now we are so used to seeing what shes capable of ..... damn maybe she has a few suprises in store for summer, fingers toes and legs crossed!
Also Jil Sander not that amazing but she did have a few unique dresses
Happy new year too us!!!Bring on timeless individual fashion
