Blue Angel goes green

Shows are over in Paris until ready-to-wear takes over...soon. Trade shows (Prêt-à-Porter Paris, Première Classe, Who's Next) are the events to cover when looking for fresh faces and cool talents. So it's Fall 2008 you'll be reading about from now on. Let's start with this unexpected outfit by Article 23. The label's name refers to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Fashion and beauty icon Marlene Dietrich inspired the collection. Hum. Can't remember the Blue Angel playing a sexy car wash girl though. I guess it's the masculine/feminine gimmick. Organic fabrics, fairtrade products. Style ! Note the knot.
