Runway to Reality...

Ever wonder how the outlandish, artistic and sometimes all out wild fashions go from the runway to our closets? Just like with everything, runway fashions are inspirations and ideas from the designers imagination. Designers come up with incredible ideas, and in my opinion they don't always seem so fashionable when paired together on the runway. I believe the most rewarding part is seeing their initial ideas on the runway (also known as "haute couture") move to more traditional clothing styles, also known as ready to wear (pret a porter/off the rack) or RTW styles. Long gone are the days of sample sizes only and non-existent realistic styles. Ready to wear styles don't come directly from the runway or high fashion couture stores/labels - they slowly or sometimes radically overnight become what we call "runway knock-off's", which quite honestly is something that the majority of us wear. Even large mid-sized retailers re-design haute couture runway styles to fit their own customers needs and wants. This blog rides on the coattails of the close of fashion week! It has been years since my buying days, but those days and moments still keep me teeming with excitement on the items that are coming out, but what excited me most was the items that would trickle down to what the everyday person would wear.

Fashion, whether it's haute couture from the runways in Paris or from your favorite Richardson store, Get Noticed Boutique - it is a personal expression of yourself and your personality.
