2012 Fall / Winter Trend Preview #1

Prepare Yourself … for Excitement!

See, the exclamation point means it’s GOTS to be good.

The tricky thing for us when it comes to preparing a fashion trend report is twofold. Okay, we won’t mention either fold, because we don’t want to lose the thin slice of credibility we’re clinging to, mainly among friends and family, and then we’re probably engaging what in popular psychology is referred to as “projection.”

Wait, WAIT, we were getting to something. (What was it?)

Oh yes, the two bullet points of our disclaimer, roughly speaking, concern the dubious twin fields of:

  • generalized and
  • specialized

ignorance … we’ll leave it at that. Also, Paris hasn’t happened yet, so this is just a teaser report (in LA, spelled “teaszer”), which saves a lot of time and helps when we’re completely off, which is a real relief.

OKAY THEN, ON TO THE FIRST TREND PREVIEW!

TREND #1: HOT FOR TEACHER

If you ever wished Morticia Addams was your sixth-grade teacher, and she was devastatingly attractive, you’re in luck. REAL luck, my friend. Check out these wondrous pics: Salvatore Ferragamo (Milan), Aquilano Rimondi (Milan) and our absolute fave-rave, Giles (“Call Me Deacon Giles”) Deacon (London).

Warning: If your teacher shows up in the Mardi Gras gimp mask one day, you should probably excuse yourself politely and run home. And if she shows up in burned tatters, she’s probably a ghost. You can finish up class and all, but, just a note.

The bondage-y vibe also recalls the Herve Leger show we posted about at New York Fashion Week Live.

Wait, is that all for now?

Yes, because it’s time for breakfast at IKEA. What was that, you said? Never mind.
