The Nominees…The “Almond Toe”, “Volume”, “Skinny”The rise of such shoes can likely be attributed to the second It-word: “volume”. Sure, this term has been thrown around for a couple of seasons now, but never it been so well received - or maybe well pushed? Either way, from the Balenciaga coat to the numerous puffball dresses/skirts hanging in your closest, you likely wore volume in 2006. And heard about it - a lot - for that matter.
How ironic that “skinny” was also an It-word? From skinny, legging-like pants to more fashion chatter and debate about skinny than at a Weight Watcher’s meeting, “skinny” was a fashion It-word in ‘06. Though more likely than not, it was preceeded by the name of a various celebrity/model, as well as one of the following: too, way too, disgustingly, scary, anorexic, blah , blah, blah. Deep-rooted jealousy, is all I say.
I think Skinny had the best run for 2006, but all of those trends will probably be toast in ‘07.
“Deep-rooted jealousy, is all I say.”
I agree
