According to Wikipedia, A "fashion victim" is a term - claimed to have been coined by Oscar de la Renta - that is used to identify a person who is unable to identify commonly recognized boundaries of style.
Can a dog be a fashion victim or is that term just resvered for his owner. Take the case of Mondex, a 5-year-old Chihuahua, walking the aisle dressed as a scuba diver during a dog show at a mall in suburban Manila on Sunday April 27, 2008. I mean really fad or fashion?
Now girls, we can't go around outside the boundries of style, even with our dogs. That is why we now have this fantastically fashionable fashion blog. Wiki knowlege says, "Fashion victims are victims because they are vulnerable to faddishness and materialism, two of the widely recognized excesses of fashion. According to Giorgio Armani, 'When a woman alters her look too much from season to season, she becomes a fashion victim.'
That is what we hope to avoid. I mean please- there is a difference between fashion and fad.
Wiki says, "A fad is an intense but short-lived fashion. Fads are also by their nature at the extreme range of currently acceptable style, which means they commonly cross the line from the sublime to the ridiculous." I refer to Mondex again.
Sometimes fads are fun. Sometimes I love fads so much (ugg boots) that I don't really care if the fad is over. (You will not get my uggs!)
So fad or fashion? Fun or flop? I'm not so sure, but I sure am glad you got to see Mondex.
