EIKONIC PICKS FOR "THIS WEEK IN FASHION"

This has been quite an interesting and eventful week in the world of fashion; significant for its creativity with NYFW (New York Fashion Week), chaos due to the reintroduction of Target's Missoni brand, and thinking outside the box by allowing America to embrace plus size models with the new hit show, "Big Sexy" on TLC. Starting with most popular, the following are Eikonic picks for 'This Week In Fashion:"                                              
1. Missoni Mayhem: September 13th was a day for the books, not only for giant retailer,Target but a memorable one for all fashionistas all over the nation. This was a day that united us all; whether competing to be the first to add everything you've waited to own for so long in your virtual cart before the infamous cyber crash, or shoving the next shopper to the ground mercilessly to get your hand on that one last zigzag shirt, dress, hair clip, rain boots for the upcoming season, or a storage bin---all in the name of MISSONI! Every item sold for under $40, compared to $595 for a simple tank top sold at Bergdorf Goodman for example.  Unfortunately, I was one of the unlucky ones left cursing at my computer screen as the website on which I was shopping froze and shut down.  A sale that was supposed to last until October 22nd was wiped out within hours of introduction to the store---hopefully I can at least still get my hand on a $2.99 Missoni hair clip (sigh). Until then I will continue my list of "most wanted" Missoni products:

2. NYFW (New York Fashion Week): This week was yet another creative one for artistic designers like Marc Jacobs, Vera Wang, Milly, and Max Azria (to name a few) to debut their spring/summer collection for the upcoming year. Bright colors, futuristic looks with metallics, florals, and textured materials are some of the trends that made their way to the runway and will be common by next spring/summer.

3. Plus Sized Models Are Here To Stay: This does not mean however, that "you can have a pretty face and be as big as you want" says Audre from "Big Sexy," a new show about five sexy plus-size women trying to make it in the New York City Fashion Industry. They too have rules and guidelines they must follow regarding their weight and looks, while allowing America to invade their personal lives (like any other reality star on air today). These women deserve some recognition for being brave enough to look the fashion industry in the eye and let them know that they are just as good to be in the industry so bring it on!!! Tune in to 'Big Sexy' on TLC on Tuesdays.
