Neither a taxicab strike nor those famous diving pigeons of Bryant Park could put a damper on the beginning of Fashion Week in New York City.


With so many shows to go, it probably to early to call any new season trends.


However, one definite observable trend is the embellished hemlines.


Whether short or diagonally cut, the hemlines have been embellished with lace, satin ribbons, or mini petticoats.

This is an interesting trend, since the eye is immediately drawn to the hemline.


Hemlines - Still Up


For those of you who follow one of the sexier market indicators - the hemline indicator, well you don't have anything to fear.


So far, hemlines have been way above the knee.


This sexy economic indicator, dubbed the "hemline effect", was first observed by economist George Taylor in the 1920s and has proven to be a pretty reliable indicator.

When hemlines rise, so does the stock market and when they fall, so goes the market and the economy.


Walking Skeletons


It seems that all the attention on barring size zero models from European fashion shows had no effect on New York City Fashion Week Shows.


We are all for free speech and artistic expression, but these walking skeletons, a.k.a. fashion models that have graced the catwalks, so far, are appallingly thin.

We know the industry considers models to be just cloth racks - but with the high hemlines these models are wearing, ones eyes are drawn not to the clothing, but to the bone coated skeletons that are wearing these designer clothes.


No wonder, there are no new supermodels, as supermodels have been replaced with actresses, singers and celebrities on the covers of international fashion magazines.


Fashions should be used to enhance and complement a woman healthy beauty; these walking skeletons are a bad examples for young women and consumers alike.
