This dilemma isn't strictly isolated, but rather takes it's entirety in the form of an invite to the G-Star runway show during the upcoming New York Fashion Week. To decline or not decline...that is the question. Time and money are its only competitor, and it just became that much more complicated thanks to the G-Star PR people who emailed a wonderfully crafted statement explaining the inspiration for their Fall 2010 collection. And here you are:
“The G-Star Fall/Winter 2010 NY RAW Men’s and Women’s Collections demonstrates the fusion of denim craftsmanship, elegant tailoring and sophisticated silhouettes in vibrant colors. Eye-catching metallic washes and treatments further enhance the collections, highlighting the inventive and truly original aesthetic that is distinctively G-Star.
From the camels mouth itself. The statement may be flaked with PR language, but more interesting is the clear effort to point out metallic washes and treatments. Sounds rather glorious, if you ask me. Then there is the elegant tailoring and sophisticated silhouettes; a completely different tone from Spring 2010 where relaxed and loose reigned supreme. I can't wait to see what will actually come into fruition, and where I will be seeing the metallic washed, sophisticated silhouettes: from the tents or from the screen. Only time will tell. Until then, I will continue to dissect the PR language and decide whether attendance would be worth it--even though I already know the answer.
