Would You Wear a Designer’s Clothing or Shoes to His or Her Show?1
What do you think about wearing the designer’s clothes or shoes to their show? Is it like wearing a band’s t-shirt to their show? Would you wear Zanotti to go meet Zanotti, or Manolo to meet the master?
Adorable (but has perhaps gotten too skinny, as is sadly not unusual of course for young starlets on their way up) Rachel Bilson, who first stole our hearts on The O.C., has fashion sense as zingy and hip as her characters. She and Michelle Williams are some of my favorite young starlets who know how to dress in the crossroads of young, edgy and hip, designer fashionable and somewhat tasteful and classic.
I love Ms. Bilson in DVF, but I’m not sure about this dress. Would definitely look tacky on a blonde, but I feel like it’s saved by her being a brunette. She wore this DVF resort dress to the DVF Spring 2010 show. Many other stars did the same for their favorite designers. It seems to be a pledge of allegiance and a show of financial/media/moral support in hard times.
What do you think about the etiquette of to wear or not to wear the designer’s clothes to his or her show? And do you dig the black booties with the colorful dress?
