Relax, Wintour, Lagerfeld, and every fashion industry girl ever. You’re not dealing with life or death scenarios (although Ugg boots and death are similar). Let me show you some of the reasons why the fashion biz needs to lighten up before they deplete the world’s supply of anti-anxiety meds and Pellegrino.
Disclaimer: I think fashion is highly important, and I fully believe in its duty as a means of self-expression and an aid in the earth’s quest to become more and more aesthetically pleasing. But come on.
Reason 1: Roberto Cavalli gets it. He said, “Just because you are an artist, you don’t have to dress like that. Karl Lagerfeld, he looks ridiculous.”
Reason 2: Kanye wore Céline womenswear…
Reason 3: Intellectual pursuits often take the back burner. Poor Rachel Zoe is annoyed with a girl because “She’ll always start a sentence with, ‘Rachel, have you read this book that…’ and I’m like, ‘I mean, why are you asking me if I’ve read a book?'”
Other disclamer: I love Rachel Zoe.
Reason 4: This happened…
Reason 5: Remember the horrible blizzard this past fashion week? People wore things like this during it! That ain’t right.
