A dear colleague sent me a short clip of Marc Jacobs commenting of what he felt the future of power in fashion was: the consumer dressing however he/she/they wants with no implications. He went on to say that clothes don’t really matter. His blasé idea supposedly opens up what designers can design and consumers can consume.

Each year fashion people salivate at the prospect of commenting on the hits and misses of Hollywood’s elite on the red carpet. Too much this, not enough that, and the sweet spot in between can cement a celebrity look in the fashion archives forever. Or until another big event in our ever changing news cycle sweeps us away.
