gothic PERIOD

history repeats itself at rough times, when we find ourselves with empty wallets there is one thing to do to find happiness: have faith in God and go to church ??...well history certainly repeats itself in fashion. a new part of our fashion religion that i can't help but blog about is lace...amongst all of the lace ive seen in mags,etc, i find that miucci prada's styling for british magazine POP (september 08) was done the best. her inspiration was from the film roma by fellini, 1972. particularly from the church fashion show: check out the you tube clip : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYzRL9YIswQ
