I apparently owe Ms. Horyn an apology. I was conflating her views and attitude with those of Suzy Menkes, as expressed in this op ed: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/10/t-magazine/the-circus-of-fashion.html?_r=0.Horyn actually welcomes the new free-for-all world of fashion. I do too (I think?). I assume everyone thinks this is better, since it gives people more fashion choices. I'm just wondering what a chapter on post-2010 fashion might look like in twenty years. If we're really in a post-trend universe, it seems like it will be hard to synthesize things.
Maybe it would focus on silhouettes? If there's any "trend" I see emerging in the next 5-10 years, it's fuller and fuller fits across the spectrum. Suits and casualwear are probably going to be a bit fuller, just out of reaction to the skin-tight, cropped things we've been seeing for so long.
I'm sure that you've read it, but the gist of it is "OMG, it's all so tawdry now. Can just anyone be cool now?"
