fashion loves people

Lovely piece from Margaret Teich on The Huffington Post titled Refashioning Fashion Week:

… French Women dress like eco-fashionistas. Which is to say, they invest in durable pieces that last for many seasons, they mix and match high-end designers like Chanel with thrift store looks, and for the most part stay away from disposable, trend based fashion. Thrift stores, clothes swaps, swap sites, and durable fashion are all smart ways to build a timeless wardrobe without breaking the bank or having to get rid of ill fitting, flimsy fashion that you can wear one night only. Not to mention reduce, reuse, recycle, and refashion.

… Swap, thrift shop, make your own, and refashion the looks you like, while saving money and being a designer or stylist yourself. Fashion is, ultimately, wearable art. Be your own artist.

Amen, sister! And who better to inspire our delightfully crumply, mix-y match-y styles than Marc Jacobs? Irreverent, retro and beautiful as ever on last week’s runway.

And the spirited kid-sister Marc by Marc Jacobs (which is actually my fave).
