Is "haute couture" custom made to the wearer? And "couture" just really good stuff you can get in fancy stores? As I said, I am fashion clueless.
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

"Ready to wear" is the "designer" stuff sold in stores.
The fashion looks shown now will also influence mass market stuff - colors, shapes, etc., are being watched by the people who design stuff for Gap, Old Navy, H&M, etc. and are starting their spring collections.

Huh, I didn't know there was such a lead time, though that makes sense.

Yes, and from what I understand they're looking for trends amongst what is showing now, so that they can use those trends when creating their Spring clothes.

Well, I have watched "Devil Wears Prada" a lot, but I don't think that counts as knowledge. Except that you can make a movie better than the book on occasion.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Thanks for the new birthday wishes!
My father called me this morning, which was actually a big deal, given how hard the phone and talking is for him these days. Made me go awwwww
