Dear Frannie Friday--Fashion Documentaries
Anyone who knows me in real life knows that I'm not a TV fan. I am, however, a documentary fan. Patrick and I watch a lot of documentaries. Recently, I found a slew of great fashion documentaries on Netflix. Here are some of the faves I saw:
This documentary is basically about the history of NYFW. It has a slew of designers in it who all look back on the journey of NYFW from humble beginnings in lofts around various parts of NYC to the tents in Bryant Park and eventually to Lincoln Center.
This documentary gives the history of the infamous NYC store and its role in the fashion industry. Details in this film include that of the owners, their amazing penthouse apartment above the store and the breath-taking window displays.
I'm not sure if this one is on Netflix or not--I saw it a long time ago--but it is one worth seeing. This film shows all the inner workings of getting the Vogue September issue (aka the motherload of all magazine editions) to press. Of course, this includes information about Ana Wintour and her team as well.
To be honest, I thought that the creator of this film was a little goofy, but save for that, the information was really interesting. I didn't realize, I guess, how influential Halston was! It was a very interesting look at how fashion has evolved in and since the 1970's.

Your red jacket is awesome and the wide leg sailor pants....awesome-r! I love this look.
I love thrifting. About 80 to 85% of what I own was thrifted. My sis doesn't like thrifting for all the reasons you mentioned but me, I don't mind at all for all the good reasons you've also pointed out. Friends see my wardrobe and think that I have a lot of money to throw away on clothes. I know I don't.
The good thing about thrifting here is that the clothes come from different parts of the world, mostly Asian brands and most of the quality is great.

Love the mix of masculine military vest and very feminine pink skirt!

Serious bragging rights you've got there, Frannie! State Senator! Wow! Kudos to Conner!
Now I've seen a lovely way to style my brown skirt. Cute look.
I wish I knew suggestions to give about Kaden. I'm sorry that I don't.

I understand its good to be responsible about spending money, but when a Giorgio Armani item is that dirt cheap you'll be needing jail to keep me from getting them. Looooove your dress; all the pockets and buttons! it's so fab with the leo shoes.

Love your relaxed look. Acceptance of people from a different culture, ethics, sexuality, color, e.t.c is something a lot of people (myself inclusive) need to learn. I think that it's an individual thing. And is a pointer to how open-minded and humane someone truly is. I think that at first there is the shock to overcome and then if someone is open-minded they become accepting of the other person.
I must confess I did wonder about some of your work outfits, but you're lucky τ̲̅☺ have such relaxed dress code at work. I like the occasional power suit myself but on the regular I don't. Cute monochrome look. Love your necklace.
