Why I Don’t commonly publish about High fashion

So I was leafing with one of the ten or so doorstop-sized fashmags I have provided to my home every August, as well as saw a truly amazing wool skirt from Marni. “Aha!” I thought. “I can definitely publish about this since I like it, it looks vintage-y, as well as it wouldn’t be that difficult to make yourself …”

But can I discover a reasonable photo of it, short of scanning the actual magazine page? No, I cannot. as well as I’m not willing to spend hours trawling with runway photos or visiting dodgy ecommerce sites (some of which PLAY music ON LOAD, which is rather potentially the most frustrating thing you can do on your website, just so you know) just to discover a photo of it. 

If I were running a fashion magazine (which obviously I’m not) I would have a blog writer index on the magazine’s website with thumbnails of images, tagged with both problem date as well as keywords. add watermarks if you like, as well as perhaps even offer an affiliate program for linking specific pictures to on the internet shops — you’d get people linking back to you with credit, I bet. You might even make blog writers apply for access. Does anyone do this? The only thing that I can believe even comes close may be Polyvore.

Anyway, this is the very best I can do: 

Please ignore the gratuitous almost-cleavage as well as the truly heinous accessories (although the bag is truly cute, in a totally impractical way) as well as the model’s expression, which I believe is trying to communicate a combination of stern disapproval of the entire goings-on, as well as suppressed laughter. 

You can’t tell from the picture however the skirt (if indeed this is the exact same one) seems to have four gores with a gorgeous pleat right in the center of each gore. It’s swingy as well as contemporary as well as vintage-y all at the exact same time (that description should likewise tell you why I’m not a fashion writer).

If anyone understands the skirt I’m referring to (can’t even discover the magazine right now — one more reason why I’m not a high-fashion blogger) please leave a comment with a much better description!
