I just realised that I spend $60 per month on fashion magazines. I mean 60 per month doesn't seem that much, but its a bit of a problem when you earn $0 per month. anyway, I did a bit more research on Australia's fashion history and came upon another realisation..."I'm absolutley clueless." Any one who does have a clue would realise my last post is some idiotic teenager going 'blah blah blah' thinking she knows fashion.
*breathes*
My worst fear realised. I'm not exaggerating. I don't think I'm Sooo well informed, but I also don't think I'm wrong about the little I do know.
*sigh*
Well here's the slightly more correct version of my "Aussie Oi" post.
Australian fashion has been rich in fabrics textures since the 1920's with Chinese and Japanese silks and Egyptian cottons. And we have had, and still have a great mish-mash of cultural influences, which is very evident in our fashion history.
So the question is, why isn't Australia's fashion scene more noted on a global scale?
After a bit of research I think the blame does not lie so much on the designers, but more so on our successful designers and those who have made them successful.
Previous follies in the "fashion press" has labeled Australia a copy cat amongst the global market. But we've been making wiser decisions since then, and I think its safe to say, we're on the road to recovery.
I mean seriously, who didn't make fashion mistakes in the 80's?
Well I'm going to stop posting crap for a while, and take some time to research more. AND, in the meantime I'm going to collab with the creator of lahh-best.blogspot.com, do like the sartorialist (but with cheaper cameras) and snap up Sydney and her awsome threads. And I promise, we won't be annoying teenagers who regurgitate sportsgirl and GP sales racks. Atleast I hope not.
All this and much more!...
right after my exams.
