For key fashion reporting, go to The Goods by Marques Harper. My experiment this Fashion Week: To suggest personal styles of party guests by using synonyms only. By any measure, an inexact technique!

(PS: After taking these pictures, I witnessed one of the most sophisticated fashion shows I’ve had the pleasure of seeing in Austin, all to benefit Locks of Love.)

Patrick, always the sharp eye, also makes a good point. Again, I respectfully direct his attention to The Goods, our fashion blog by Marques Harper for descriptions of the actual apparel and styling. I will say the total effect of elaborate, ancien regime hair and wigs, cool downtown clothes, well-coached, pro models and locomotive music made it work for me.
