#4: NY Times Fashion Blog

So, looking on their blog, I came across a few posts that interested me but I tried to go back a bit so I wouldn't choose the same one as someone else! I decided to stop at Eric Wilson's post "Michael Kors Doesn't Break a Sweat" and evaluate it. He used nice fashion jargon but I do admit, he does not write as well as Cathy; she makes you visualize what she sees! Eric explained nicely the pieces that Michael Kors showed on the runway for spring and said it was '"summer romance … a softer attitude … the juxtaposition of sportif and romantic …” ' and indeed it was!
I liked that Kors's show was basically the opposite of Marc Jacobs (which we just read about and saw in our last class!) and gave you a happy feeling of warm weather coming along, but what I thought was cool and different was the fur on the dress shirt.
Eric Wilson's post was short and sweet and to the point, he gave nice specifics and comparisons and also let us know how high the humidity percentage was that day!!
