I fly to NYC tomorrow and was thrilled to find out the heat wave has broken. It is very difficult for a gentleman to look elegant while walking down Madison Avenue when the city feels like a sour substitute for hell when it is damn hot! The ladies have it so easy. They have Alaia and can be put together while letting a natural ventilation system do it's job with deep plunges, free arms, short hems, and exposed backs. In contrast, I have to wear a suit, shirt, tie, and ill-advised to go commando. This gold print halter with two-tiered skirt gives the illusion of being a more substantial fabric that is heavy and textured, but is seriously so light and easy to wear. If I were packing and a woman of style with an Alaia-appropriate body, this would be a no-brainer. Reminiscent of Claire McCardell's wrap dresses in the 40s and early 50s, Alaia has sex'd it for the super models 1980s. Oh this came from a pretty successful model of that era! It's got good genes.
