Fashion Is Fun

Trendoids Unite!

Watching this Who What Wear Daily video of the latest Fall Trends felt a bit like letting a big sister into our closet: When someone’s being a gentle know-it-all, especially about your style, you want to tell them “Get out of here, and give me back my Converse!” And yet, you know you should listen, so you grudgingly take a seat and let her work some magic.


That was our reaction to this video, anyway, where the WWWD team skis through a range of runway trends, including the belt-over-sweater trick and also a series of mild lectures about how you should spend all your money on shoes and coats (this may explain why they’ve shown Givenchy shoes with an H&M jacket, which seems like a good idea).

Those living in colder climates (including us, in New York!) really liked how much layering happened in the show, which is a huge bonus when it’s freezing and you’re sprinting to work.

But our favorite moment comes at the end, when they tell you to “make the look your own” - something that’s so easy and so very hard when you’re copying trends from the runway and celebrities!

Next time, we want an All-Olsen episode.

Agreed! The end result is quite frumpy.

this looked like 'okay, now let's go and copy'. but copying doesn't mean to be inspired. it had to look like burberry but it looked like, well, h&m which is SUPPOSED to look like burberry.
the girl is beautiful though.

i agree the fake smiling is so disconcerting. it makes the viewer uneasy.

The things I really disliked about the video was how scripted it was! I always loved that Girls Gone Styled was so spontaneous and like a real conversation, whereas the wwd tv videos were like news segments on the today show or something! In my book, it fell flat.
