| Charlize Theron, Golden Globes 2012 |
* mermaid shapes
* headbands
* chandelier-like earrings
* spectacularly high heels often concealed by dangerously long hems
None of these trends work for me. From experience, I know that mermaid shapes mean the hem drags along the floor, causing a tripping hazard and picking up the dirt! Headbands give me a headache as do big earrings. And high heels only work if I don't have to stand up for more than 20 minutes or walk more than the length of a room.
In a way, the sea of elegant gowns was a bit of a yawn, but I did laugh hysterically when Ricky Gervais mentioned Kate Middleton = Oscars and Kim Kardashian = Golden Globes.
As I predicted, my inbox continues to surprise and 2012 is already shaping up to be an interesting year even though I seem to be in a blogging fog and I have yet to attend any exhibitions. I think reading the erudite writing of Baudrillard and Foucault is taking over my brain and sapping me of my blogging brain power. In lieu of blog posts, I'm working on a new project in my studio - making a tutu out of mesh and working on a book proposal (plus my thesis). In the works for Fashion is my muse! is a list of must-see fashion as art exhibitions for 2012. Stay tuned! As always, I welcome your comments and emails.

I am totally with you on not being a fan of those trends, Ingrid! So exciting about all of the wonderful things you are doing. Happy 2012! :) Kx
As much as I like to view the glitterati of Hollywood, I am so with you on the trends. As for heels? Considering that my day to day outfit is jeans/sweater/sneakers, even a 1" heel is a strain for me LOL
It is sad............but my days of heels are over. Really and truly. I can tell you are very organized and clever so I know all those tasks will get done beautifully. XO
Wow great gown! The only thing that is missing is me. LOL!
I do like that dress, though I know exactly what you mean about heels. Who are those people you see walking around all day in 4-inch heels? How do they do it? I can't walk in them and they tend to hurt after half an hour...
You certainly have some very interesting projects to look forward to and I really admire your creativity and focus. Love from London xo
I, too, loved the Kate/Kim comment ... . pretty cheeky !
Would LOVE to see pics of your new tutu -

Love the dress, think there is a time and place for everything, heels are slightly annoying but at the right occasion, can be fabulous.
