On a recent trip, i found myself alone with nothing more than an elle(did you know elle means chic en francais)magazine, the drap backdrop of the chicago airport and my thoughts. a dangerous combination if i had ever seen one. somewhere in between fistfulls of dry airport french fries i began to notice the meticulous, almost sterile nature of the airport. a well oiled machine. complete with security detail, those crack-peanuts they serve and a distinct sense of fashion ? yea. fashion. (maybe the fries were finally getting to me) . but seriously, ever notice how much potential those drab ass flight attendant getups have to be somewhat elle ? Exhibit A: Britney Spears' toxic video (that futuristic, cobalt thing with the o.so suggestive peep hole) The airlines expertly pairs box shaped skirt suits with the perfect amount of accesory, whether it be a gauzy scarf or a little hat and one of those little eagle pins. minimalist fashion. which brings me to the next leg of this rant. the alleged feminist revolution to soon takeover runways around the world. it would seem that there are designers out there who are fed up with the seperation between women and mens fashion, and who plan to fuzzy the line between the two. not quite androgenic, but rather genderless. similar to the boxiness of airline fashion, designers Gurung and Tim Hamilton use an essence of minimalistic simplicity to construst thier lines. Gurung focused more on a tuxedo influenced womens line, where Hamilton uses his staple android tailoring. both plan to decompose gender barriers via fashion and think beyond the norm to engage a more intellectual clientele.
