Once upon a time, I dreamed of being a fashion designer. I had a portfolio, a subscription to Women's Wear Daily and Vogue and spent a good deal of my time designing clothes, planning fashion shows and watching anything fashion-related on E!.
I also used to hate Karl Lagerfeld with the heat of a thousand suns. Merely bringing up that fey, fan waving hack was enough to rachet up my blood pressure a notch or two. I'm ambivilent about him these days, but oh, once upon a time, I dreamed of kicking him in his dumpy little basket.
Ahem. Anyway, my burning hatred for Karl Lagerfeld aside, I loved fashion. And although I no longer design dresses or dream of pushing Lagerfeld in front of a bus, I do still pay attention to fashion. My favorite designers really haven't changed in ten years. I suppose that's because they are imbued with eternal, classic good taste.
I did drop Calvin Klein from my list of favorites, mostly because his advertisements annoy me. If I want to see emaciated crack whores, I'll watch COPS.
