Dress Up!

Thanks to the New York Sun's Alicia Colon for this lovely piece denigrating the sloppiness manifested by the so-called "fashionistas" attending the exhibitions at New York Fashion Week.

If fashion is art -- and the best fashion certainly is -- than it's supposed to elevate, not to degrade. How about a little more glamor and sophistication, a little less crassness and vulgarity? It has always been a source of amazement to me that women would admire and fawn on designers who would tell them to dress like prostitutes.
