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.
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

I did last year. This year I am more bleh about the whole thing for whatever reason.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Happy Lee Day!!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Happy birthday, Lee!!!!

Yes. What is showing up in stores for Fall 2012 was spotted/designed/created last spring. However, a lot of the "fast fashion" stores - Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, and the like - also have people scouring the internet for "micro trends", so they can get their sweatshop factories to slam stuff out and take advantage of whatever is hot at the moment. There are legions of interns who have a dayjob of going through fashion blogs, Pinterest, Instagram, and wherever else people post outfit photos.
(The business of fashion design fascinates me.)
