Game On: Seattle Style
It was with giddy glee MegaStyles read today's NYT article about the
return of grunge. While grunge is inherently "anti-fashion," it was one
of the last iconic movements in clothing design, soon
replaced by Britter style and superficial speed trends.
Latterday proponents include Marc Jacobs, the original
instigator, and A.P.C., its latest collection "Smells Like
Seattle" chock-full of "lumberjack shirts in plaid polyester, beefy cardigans,
striped leggings and kilts." The collection was a reaction to
"cheap glamour," according to the head designer, referring
to "the ubiquity of Manolo-shod editors and their
gin-sipping dates" in the Mercer Hotel. All well and good boys.
Just don't slip any trucker hats in with the Doc Martens.

Crossbow Couture
D&D is the new D&G according to Style.com's top looks for fall.
Among this season's must-haves: a boned bustier paired with jeans,
a tunic with skinny pants, and a spiked flail instead of a purse.
You'll be the hottest girl at the gallows.

That Never Occurred To Us
Awww, looks like the American Chiropractic Association is looking out
for us after all. Worried about the alignment of the fashion-conscious,
chiropractics nationwide offered the following ground-breaking tips:
-If tight clothes are your style, choose items that allow you to perform daily tasks with ease.
-When carrying a bag or briefcase, switch sides frequently to avoid placing the bulk of weight on one side of your body.
-Empty unnecessary items from your bag to make it lighter.
Maybe there's a reason they don't go to med school.
