Shoulder pads

Most of the ones who used to buy Haute Couture are not affected by recessi0n. However, they know their power must be shown. Shoulder pads make a statement: a big back and an imposing presence, the portrait of the powerful woman.

La mayoría de las mujeres que se podían permitir comprar Alta Costura no están afectadas por ésta crisis. Sin embargo, saben que tienen que mostrar su poder para dejar claro que la recesión les ha pasado de largo. Las hombreras son una declaración de principios: una espalda grande y una presencia imponente, un retrato de las mujeres poderosas.

estás leyendo uno de mis libros preferidos de todos los tiempos.....! hace siglos que no lo re-leo. me voy en su búsqueda y 'captura'. las hombreras no suelen 'aparecer' en tiempos de 'crisis'? después del 29, su auge en la segunda guerra mundial... y los ochenta las retoman digo yo que por romper con los setenta y estamos ahora muy con esa época..., no sé. un abrazo fuerte y XX!

I'm not sure how I feel about the more exaggerated looks in real life, but on the runway they definitely make an impact!

I think couture was a bit dressed down this season. A lot of black and white. The designers know that some still have the guts and the money for it, but don't them selfs want to seem too arrogant.

u know...i actually never really take out the shoulder pads, i figure, if they're there for a reason then why not just leave 'em in! great post!

I think for this new year I predict that will highlight the strong colors in women and more casual clothes for men ... who supports my prophecy?
