It’s almost over! Laura Fulk closes the show. She has incredible silhouettes. The tailoring is impeccable. Her inspiration for the show was the “Midwestern pioneer woman” mixed with Laura’s signature hard-edge punk style. I love the idea and concept. With some 40 fashion shows in her repetoire, Laura is possibly the best show-woman in town knowing how to pace and dazzle the crowd. Feather crowns and crazy hair became more exaggerated throughout the presentation. (Though feathers were weirdly reminiscent of Carolina Herrera’s recent collection.) The clothes were also quite beautiful–it was the literal touches that kind of bugged me–such as the sacks used as fabric. I’d be much more intrigued by an interpretation that would also appeal and be wearable to the modern punk Laura Ingalls Wilder in us all.
