Are Designers Ruining Their Market By Loaning Dresses for Red Carpet Events?
—After Cathy Horyn tore into this year’s Golden Globes fashion a couple of days ago, Andre Leon Talley, too, wrote about his frustration yesterday — his post started with: “When you start watching red-carpet shows at 6:00 pm and don’t see a stunning dress until 9:00 pm — Julianna Margulies’s ruby paillette crepe robe de style with cutouts, by Narciso Rodriguez — it’s sad what passes for style in Hollywood.” But speaking of red carpet fashion, Decades’ Cameron Silver, in speaking to Fashionista, brings up an interesting point: “It’s a little frustrating to watch the fashion industry, they’ve basically lost their bread and butter, which is rich people and celebrities buying clothes, by just loaning everything out [for red carpet events].” [Vogue, Fashionista]
