Thank you to The New York Times for publishing the article "Worn Out Fashion Terms" bringing attention to some of the overused expressions heard among this industry.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/02/fashion/02terms.html?ref=fashionI don't have such a problem with the message such terms as eco-fashion and D.I.Y fashion gives; or even the cutesy trend of "geek-chic" seen in the past year. 2010 really has been a year of trends that i hope become more of a lifestyle and simply stick around. Green fashion just makes sense, D.I.Y embraces your creativity and has the potential to save you money, fashion collaborations of high end and low end such as Lanvin and H&M makes sense for the economy and gives "normal" people the chance to be more exposed; but lastly if anyone refers to my hopeful character and career in the fashion industry as being a "fashionista" I will most likely be offended.
my chosen highlights of a few of these terms-2010
Statement Outfits
Mondo-King of pattern, color,and statement. Sorry, Heidi but the model wore better.
Gossip Girl- I only watch for the statement outfits, the drama is just a distraction

The beauty of black and white.
Cherry Bomb-smoldering in a different shade.
Some smoldering icons.
