Austin Fashion Week Party No. 11: Shoe+Hat: Fashion+Art at Designer Clearance House
Austin Fashion Week Party No. 11: Shoe+Hat: Fashion+Art at Designer Clearance House. (Tuesday, Aug. 17)
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!
Orlando and Spring Castillo
Discerning. Extrasensory. Far-sighted. Farseeing.
Nancy Andree and Marge Gomez
Financial. Fiscal. Marketable. Mercantile.
Matt Swinney and Carrie Crowe
Determined. Decisive. Intent. Resolute.
Party chief Andrea McWilliams informs me that only 40 tickets are left for the private performance and attendant VIP treatment for the later dance bash for the Ballet Austin Fete on Sept. 10. The dinner is sold out.

Eugene makes a good point. If you are looking for descriptions of fashions, proceed to The Goods, a blog by our fashion writer Marques Harper. My social experiment: Describe the styles of the photographed guests in synonyms only. Conceptual, I know, but designers are not the only ones allowed to be creative. And perhaps fail at it.

so . . . I'm reading all these postings, looking at lots of pics of gorgeous women & men, yet I'm not seeing the fashion thing happening. Am I missing something? Is fashion week not about clothes and fashion?
