this last week bill cunningham did a segment on puffed coats...i have to admit...i did not realize there were so many different styles out on the streets...but the pictures prove otherwise...and he tells the history of the first down coat...interesting listen...
i seem to have been surrounded by this theme of puffed coats...as i've read about them in different blogs...my favorite being taffetadarlings AND the lovely stacy from taffetadarlings even posted a pic of herself in her puffy coat...even though she had a bad dinner experience...doesn't she look adorable?
our weather here in northern california does not really get cold enough to warrant the need for a puffy coat...but if it did...i would be sporting that red number in bill cunningham's video...nice pop of color on a gloomy grey day...
speaking of being surrounded by talks of puffed coats...my girlfriend treated herself for christmas & news year's by traveling to italy...(i know...can you stand it?) and she said that it was strange to see the puffed coats in almost every store front window...
hmmm...guess it is all the rage...do you like??
Thanks for the "shout-out" darling! And I totally missed that NY Times piece, thanks for sharing. Isn't Bill just the best? Such an icon and such a nice man. I'm so jealous of your girlfriend, but what a nice gift she gave herself!!
ReplyDeleteanytime stacy! i was glad to share your piece...and yes...i love bill...he seems like a nice man...and you can just feel his excitement as he is talking...
ReplyDeleteas far as my girlfriend lorena...yeah...i was pretty jealous too...but i was so happy that she got to go...the pics were amazing...
