Okay my mind is hurting, my mother asked me a fashion student (starting on Monday) a simple question, "what are the trends for Spring?" I was for a couple of second lose of words. Why was that? Maybe for the reason that last month February I was totally rooted in the fall 2007 collections and the frigid weather hasn't change since only a couple of days ago. In the metro area the temperatures are slightly rising and basically the retails stores for the past two weeks stocked their spring collections. However I didn't pay to much attention to the spring lines in the stores just because mentally I am still in the Fall/Winter season of last year and this year. I felt that there was no need to look a short sleeved tunics and capris when it's cold outside. Now that the sun is shining slighty warmer now I really have get to know what the spring trends are. I made of list of things to do to get in the groove of Spring 2007:
- Check Style.com for a refresher of the Spring collections
- Observe the spring collections in clothing stores instead of going to the sale rack (that where all the fall clothes are)
- Look over Elle's Spring Vips
- Browse over Glam.com's Best of NY Fashion Week
- Watch the International Fashion Channel podcast for the Spring 2007 fashion show videos

What's funny is that this person behind this blog could just be a 18 year old boy trying to throw everyone in a loop with tales of attending a few fashion shows, who really knows? What be different if there was a blogger claiming to be a 20 year fashion student in LA but who really is a 36 year old mother of three living in a rural city? The power of the internet and blogging is that people can be anonymous at will and I believe that's why everyone is in a curious mood about this certain "blogger". But seriously it's just blog.
It really is ridiculous that everyone it seems from nymag, to Fashionista and to the Jossip is curious about the mystery of ViewFromTheFo...
"Most of the Vogue girls are so thin, tremendously thin, because Miss Anna don't like fat people.” Andre Leon Talley
Inspiration: The reason I posted this quote today because I finally read the New York Magazine article, The Incredible Shrinking Model by Emily Nussbaum. I know I really late with this, but Emily pointed some good theories about why models are so thin and who should be the blame. My favorite paragraph of the article was when Kate Armenta, a booker for Vogue said, "Honestly, I have to give credit to Anna, She’s always been very outspoken against thin models. Vogue has never tried to perpetuate that look.” So I thought that Andre Leon Talley quote would be perfect for today.

" Sexy doesn't have to mean a pair of tight pants or a low cut dress. I think it's very beautiful and much more interesting to see a girl body through a big transparent sort of voluminous pant then it is to see it in a tight knee length skirt, at the moment."

After the Tibi show I was sitting waiting for the Monique Lhuillier show to start when I ask the lady next to me was she waiting for the show to start she she yes and we started to have a conversation. Anyway turns out to be that she is a Fashion Director at a store in Canada. She asked me did I see the Tibi show and we started talking about that. She said that majority the collection she would use it for her store because it had really great wearable dresses and coats. The lady was really nice she asked what so far was my favorite show I saw I said the Matthew William show and then I said the Marc Jacobs show.
That Fashion Director for that store in Canada was Barbara Atkin for Holt Renfrew. That's right who would have known that I was speaking to very well respected person in the fashion industry. You can check out some of her commentary on the Dior show in Paris on youtube.
The funny thing is that she told she was going to Paris and Milan for the shows and I was bit jealous. It's just crazy being at a event like NY Fashion Week and meeting and chit-chatting with people you don't know too well who they are or what they do and turns someone like this lady that was just sitting calm and collective who was very pleasant is considered by Elle Canada a "Power Woman".
Those were the words I uttered out my mouth when I watched the Dior Fall 2007 Fashion Show on Style.com and recognized a face that I though...
