Couture houses have been folding and it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that, artistically-inspired or not, the profferings from such need to be translated into something that actual women will wear, i.e. purchase. Should be interesting to see if flattering-pretty wins out with Oscar gown choices or if the clown-freaks come out like Bjork did with her swan dress several years ago, lol. Now SHE was the deserved original for creative-costuming wasn't she? Oh and I forgot to add, yes, so agree….”wearability” is becoming (thankfully) more and more key.

This is not even "arty". I know a lot of people are enjoying the elements of surrealism and fantasy-Dali-esque that personalities such as Lady Gaga are promoting tirelessly right now and at first I thought, how creative but it's becoming a bit wearing as of late to me. Kinda' like one of those Elton John old-school late 70's concerts that went on faaaar too long with his absurd over-sized glasses, platform boots and clownishly-colored n' spangled outfits. Circuses should only come to town every great once in a while, not be a daily onslaught. But anyway, that's just my opinion and I'm a traditionalist bordering romantic so my opinion's definitely skewed however, I can appreciate creativity for what it's worth and creative social commentary within the arts n' fashion and yet again... however... bolts of illuminating light such as this should be lightening-quick to be effective, not lingering long past their effectiveness. I'm not a fan of Madonna by any means but I hafta' give her a huge acknowledgement of credit (and incredible smart savvy) with how she used-to move very quickly through her creativity, creative phases. She'd realize an inspiration, nuance it within a unique way, express it individually, package it within her music and tours and then... be moving onwards into another round of creativity.
