it's china fashion week in beijing
As proclaimed by giant red banners in many hotels. It's not a show that garners much press in the West because names like Chanel and Gucci don't take part, but plenty of indie designers are displaying their wares on runways here, hoping to break into the international market. The theme this year is “Simple is Best”—belied, of course, by the outfits. And speaking of couture...what is it about ordering custom-made clothes that always makes me imagine a tailor will somehow provide not only beautifully sewn garments, but a model's figure to wear them? Sigh.

I think with that third one you could put weights at the ends of the cords, twirl at high RPMs and pull off some comic book superhero moves, perhaps to fell your nemesis, Trapezoidess in pic 4.
But, wait a minute, isn't it a dictatorship of the hoi polloi?
@fredwich ha. Perhaps you are fashion correspondent for Beijing Vogue?
@Bob Interestingly, things seem more dictated by economics these days...
It seems that fashion is getting more architectural which is interesting visually but quite cumbersome if you have to wear it.
