We’re all aware of the current crap economy forcing many designers to opt out of the tents this season. And then there were the models who kept falling at Herve Leger (but the audience was behind them 100%, applauding everytime one of them made it back up). The poor things.

So, in all the hub-bub of who’s wearing what, who is too skinny or too fat and who is sleeping with whom…we’ve realized we really don’t care anymore. It’s the clothing dahling, remember?

So this is what you (or everyone around you) will be wearing this fall. If you can’t afford these styles, no need to worry because the pieces with the most buzz are certain to trickle down to all of us in some form at our local boutique. In some cases, a far-fetched version of them will even be available at your local Target. Seriously.
