Hillary Clinton, style icon? The unexpected inspiration for womens spring fashion
By Robin Givhan September 16 at 12:57 PM
NEW YORK The designer Derek Lam was perched on a wooden chair in a penthouse suite of the Greenwich Hotel that looked as though it had been air-lifted from Santa Fe. Dressed in white jeans and a dark shirt, he was describing the inspiration for his spring 2017 collection, and the words that he used again and again were strong and independent.
Specifically, hed been inspired by Georgia OKeeffe, the artist who was so often described as handsome, a polite way of saying that she was not a great beauty. But that striking face of hers, alongside her formidable body of work, made her an icon nonetheless.
It was her strength, off-putting at first but eventually embraced, that captivated Lam, he explained. And there it was at last in this citys hectic fashion week, when audiences couldnt even be sure whether theyd be seeing fall clothes or spring ones on the runway finally, a thread that connected so many disparate collections.
Strength.
In the latest round of fashion shows that ended Thursday, there were countless iterations of mens shirting, various shades of orange and a surge in platform shoes. Proenza Schouler, in particular, dazzled the eye with hand-woven dresses, canvas and leather jackets, and an intarsia mink coat that looked great no matter what season its intended for.
So go ahead and invest in oversized shirts and and blazers because that trend isnt going away. Pants are still roomy, the dresses are emblazoned with prints and the fabrics range from lace to velvet.

Cher can’t stand to look at the fashion fail
Ellen Degenerate gaudy hand-me-downs a inspiration?
ROFL
Other people have mentioned this on similar threads, but in that outfit, Hillary looks like Vincent “the chin” Gigante. He was the mob boss who roamed the streets of New York in his bathrobe, babbling to himself, in an effort to show he was incompetent to stand trial.
YGBSM.
I guess that Hillary doesn’t own a Mirror, being a Vampire and all.
Wendy's was 30 years ahead of the curve.
... Upholstery fabric no doubt.
Man, that green number, tres chic.....what is it Percale, 1-thread per inch?
It was inevitable.........
dumpy matron Mao jackets ?
Of course she would take if off if she had to answer the gate. No decent woman would be seen in public wearing one.
Do these come only in plus sizes?
Even if they came in size 6, I’d have to pass.
These fashions need to go high tech.
Every fifteen minutes or so they need to have an injection of curare, then automatically dial an ambulance to scrape the wearer off the pavement!
‘Vacuum cleaner Bag’ is the new ‘Little Black Dress’
Yes, and are now available at Tent City locations nationwide.
Even as a stretch to link someone as physically weak and sickly as Hillary to “strength”, this reads like it had to be satire. Perhaps a conservative punked the Washington Post by submitting this and pretending it was meant seriously.
We are certainly going to see a lot more of the blue, Matrix-style, sunglasses...
So be sure the tell the lackey media this is a great “fashion” choice....
Yeah, Baby!
OMG.....send this “warning” to the world leaders....
