Let's go to Paris

I wrote about fashion a few posts back. This video from Vogue magazine's site Style.com caught my eye. The fashions are striking. Some of the fashion 'luvvies' comments are also fascinating (fashionating?). I was interested to see the adoption and integration of technology in some of the garments. Cross pollination is an important thing.

I also thought that it would be interesting to see how New Zealand designers would fare at Paris shows. Compared to the luxury and glamour of some of the clothes being paraded in this clip Kiwi designers seem dour.

Actually when I think of brand New Zealand the adjectives glamour and luxury don't pop readily to mind. Not a criticism, mind you - simply an observation.

What do you think?
