On the surface






It's no surprise that I've previously mentioned these celebrities are subject to an invasion of privacy, only to be critiqued when they appear in public, falling into step with the territory that is their chosen path. We don't really know these people, as much as we like to think we do though.
The Emmy's took place in Los Angeles today and it was such a delight to see many of the gowns had surface embellishment. There's no denying that American favourites include the brilliance that is Oscar De La Renta and the beauty that is Carolina Herrera.
From all over beading to a simple metallic detail, ruffles and pleats took center stage to delight for the sake of fashion. This is why the fashion world keeps spinning. And spin at warp speed it does too.
We can get caught up and swirl in the fantasy that this kind of event conjures. We can live vicariously through our favourite celebrities. We can imaging their picture perfect (most of the time) gowns on ourselves if we want to, and to sad reality come crashing down when we criticize wardrobe disasters.
It's an open slate made all the more accessible, but with praise, I'm glad risks were taken.
