SCENES FROM WORLD FASHION 2006

dear readers,
have you ever had the priveledge of attending a world fashion conference? unknown to most "weathered" new york fashionistas, many of the most engaging fashions and styles happen in far strewn corners of the pan-geographica. today, we will take a look at these daring fashion setters and their perspectives on what is what to wear, and WHY.

kazakhastan's eagle hunters

fashionable in multiple senses, the eagle hunters know the secret of accessorizing: eagle and hat, this man looks like he means business. the hat is decorative without loosing any serious implications of stature or rigidity. the eagle acts as an ever-changing accessory and also as defence. rather than a mangy little dog, like most westerners have, the eagle is independant, sharing responsibilities like hunting and protecting.

after the eagle has killed its prey, the hunter allows it to have the first taste, as a gesture of respect and gratitude. the eagle in exchange, maintains cordial relations. the eagle, the most important aspect of this ensemble is a symbol employed by many cultures, even appearing on the flag of new york state, but kazakhastan takes the utilization of the eagle's majesty into a much deeper, literal sense, applying it to everyday apparel.

mother and child in afghanistan
obviously, this little girl's green with sequin matching bonnet/dress set is totally adorable, but then, placed next to her is the grey hijab of her mother, jacquared with subtle hexagonal viewing mesh. the color of the grey in contrast with the bright green is quite a daring statement to make, enhancing the outfit of the mother substantially. both thusly look elegant and well paired, while maintaining a traditional and conservative look.

iraq hay fields
this little girl has not yet been tainted by western fashions she may have seen on the american soldiers that have likely invaded her neighborhood. she does seemed to have formed a serious demeanor never the less, making her serious and probing gaze comparable to that of the western model. her fashion is much better though, as it is obvious that to her, accesorizing comes naturally. the subtle hues of her bracelet and headband accompany what might otherwise have been misconstrued as "busy" capri-sleeved dress.

this will conclude today's topic of world fashion.
