subject: Designer Eyewear For Regular Folks [print this page] Some people think about designer eyewear, and they immediately think of stuffy, artistic types with snooty friends and rich taste. That is a common misconception of high fashion. Some looks are designed to hyperbolize an actual concept, for example, when Dior puts on a runway show where every model has pointed shoulder pads, they are not actually suggesting that women emulate the look. Instead, they are signifying to ready-to-wear designers that more defined shoulders will be in fashion that year. Yes, high fashion is a concept that was never meant to be worn by regular folks (or by anyone other than models).
If you want to wear designer clothing and look fresh and fashionable, then take hints from the runway, not exact cues. If you see a lot of a single color, you can bet that will be in vogue that year. If you see larger eyewear on runway models, then its safe to keep your oversized Prada sunnies. Think about the practical application of the runway designs and run with that in creative new ways.
Many women see a look they like and wear it, regardless of what is in fashionand we applaud that because variety is the spice of life and if everyone were in fashion it wouldnt be fashionable anymore. On the opposite spectrum, some ladies go way too far in trying to stay hip. Take Lady Gaga, for example. While you may see her as a unique jewel in an otherwise bland musical arena, then consider this most of Lady Gagas outfits were done by professional designers and thus her creativity is not very high at all. Find a happy medium between going too far, and not going far enough.
